Privacy Policy

In short: we don’t collect any personal data, neither on this website nor through the ProjectForge app.

1. Controller

Micromata GmbH
Marie-Calm-Str. 1-5
34131 Kassel
Germany
E-mail: info(at)micromata.de

See also the imprint.

2. This website

projectforge.org is a static website. We don’t collect, store or analyse any data about visitors:

  • no access logs of our own,
  • no cookies,
  • no web analytics, tracking or advertising,
  • no contact form, no comments, no newsletter,
  • no social media plugins and no content loaded from third parties: fonts, scripts and images are served by the website itself.

To remember the language switch, the website uses the session storage of the browser. This value stays in the browser, is never sent to us and is deleted when the browser tab is closed.

3. Hosting

The website is hosted on GitHub Pages, a service of GitHub, Inc. (88 Colin P. Kelly Jr. Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA). To deliver the pages, GitHub technically processes the IP address of the visitor and may keep it in log files for security reasons. We have no access to these data.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR: the legitimate interest in delivering the website securely and reliably. Data may be transferred to the USA; GitHub is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. Details: GitHub General Privacy Statement.

The website links to other websites, e.g. GitHub, Docker Hub and SourceForge (downloads). Once a link is followed, the privacy policy of that provider applies; we have no influence on it.

5. ProjectForge app

ProjectForge is self-hosted: every organization runs its own ProjectForge server (on premises or with a hoster of its choice). The ProjectForge app for iOS and Android works only with this server:

  • The app connects only to the server whose address the user enters. It never communicates with us.
  • We don’t receive or collect any data from the app: no analytics, no crash reports, no tracking, no advertising.
  • The data shown and entered in the app (e.g. time sheets, addresses, chat messages) are processed only on the organization’s server. The controller for these data is the organization that runs the server; questions about them go to its administrators.
  • Camera and photo library are only used when the user attaches a photo or video to a chat message; it is sent to the organization’s server only.
  • The login data are stored encrypted on the device (Keychain/Keystore).
  • Links to maps, websites, phone numbers or e-mail addresses open the corresponding app of the device (e.g. Apple Maps, browser); their privacy policies apply.

The app is downloaded through the App Store (Apple) or Google Play (Google). These stores process data of their own (e.g. for the download and the account) according to their privacy policies; we don’t receive any personal data from them.

6. Your rights

Under the GDPR you have the right to access, rectification, erasure and restriction of processing of your personal data, the right to data portability and to object, and the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. The authority competent for us is the Hessian Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (Der Hessische Beauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit), Wiesbaden (datenschutz.hessen.de).

As we don’t store any data about you, there is usually nothing to disclose. For questions please contact: info(at)micromata.de

7. Changes

This privacy policy may be changed if the website or the app changes. The current version is always available on this page.
