This website is a personal portfolio and software distribution platform. It is not operated for commercial purposes.

Privacy Policy

This privacy policy explains how personal data is collected and processed on this website and in software applications distributed here. We are committed to protecting your privacy in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Data Controller

The data controller responsible for data processing on this website is Sören Wacker (see Imprint for contact details).

Website Data Collection

Hosting: This website is hosted on GitHub Pages. GitHub may collect technical data such as IP addresses for security and operational purposes. See GitHub's Privacy Statement.

Analytics: This website uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with the site. Google Analytics uses cookies and collects anonymized usage data. You can opt out using the cookie consent banner or browser extensions.

Local Storage: This website stores preferences (theme mode, visual effects settings) in your browser's local storage. This data remains on your device and is not transmitted to any server.

Software Applications

The desktop applications distributed on this website (Nodus, Graph Core) are designed with privacy as a core principle:

• Local-First Architecture: All your data is stored locally on your device. No data is transmitted to our servers.
• No Telemetry: The applications do not collect usage statistics or crash reports.
• Optional LLM Integration: If you choose to use AI features, data may be sent to third-party AI providers (Ollama runs locally; OpenAI and similar services have their own privacy policies). This is entirely optional and configured by you.
• No Account Required: The applications do not require registration or authentication.

Your Rights Under GDPR

Under the General Data Protection Regulation, you have the right to:

• Access: Request a copy of any personal data we hold about you
• Rectification: Request correction of inaccurate personal data
• Erasure: Request deletion of your personal data ("right to be forgotten")
• Restriction: Request restriction of processing of your personal data
• Portability: Request transfer of your data to another service
• Objection: Object to processing of your personal data
• Complaint: Lodge a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens)

To exercise these rights, contact us at the email address in the Imprint.

Data Retention

Website analytics data is retained according to Google Analytics defaults (26 months). We do not retain any personal data from software usage as the applications are local-first.

International Transfers

Website hosting (GitHub) and analytics (Google) may involve transfer of data to the United States. These services have appropriate safeguards in place for GDPR compliance.
