Privacy Policy
This is an English translation of our German privacy policy, provided for your convenience. The controller is established in Germany; in the event of any discrepancy, the German version prevails. Legal references are to the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and to German law.
1. Privacy at a Glance
General information
The following notes provide a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit this website. Personal data is any data by which you can be personally identified. For detailed information on data protection, please refer to the further sections of this privacy policy.
Data collection on this website
Who is responsible for collecting data on this website?
Data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. You will find their
contact details in the section “Controller” of this privacy policy.
How do we collect your data?
Some data is collected because you provide it to us. This may be, for example, data you enter
into our contact form, or an email you send us. Other data is collected automatically when you
visit the website, by the IT systems of our hosting provider. This is primarily technical data
(e.g. web browser, operating system or the time of the page view) in the form of server log
files.
What do we use your data for?
The data is collected to ensure that the website is provided without errors and securely. Your
user behaviour is not analysed.
What rights do you have regarding your data?
You have the right to obtain information free of charge at any time about the origin,
recipients and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to request the
correction or deletion of this data. If you have given your consent to data processing, you may
revoke that consent at any time with effect for the future. Furthermore, under certain
circumstances you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be
restricted. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory
authority. You may contact us at any time regarding this and any other questions about data
protection.
Analytics tools and third-party tools
This website uses no analytics software and no advertising tools. Your browsing behaviour is not evaluated statistically and is not transmitted to third parties. Should this change in the future, we will inform you separately at this point and — where required — obtain your consent in advance.
2. Controller
The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is:
Marc Herda
trading as “Crazy Softworks”
Karlsbader Straße 197
24146 Kiel, Germany
Email: info@crazysoftworks.de
Phone: +49 15679 822220
The controller is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, email addresses or similar).
3. The Key Points in Brief
- This website uses no cookies, no analytics tools and no advertising trackers.
- All content — including the fonts — is served locally from our own server. No third-party content (e.g. Google Fonts, CDNs) is loaded.
- The contact form runs on our own web space — no third-party form service and no third-party captcha provider.
- The SailCommander app contains no tracking and sends no usage data to us or to third parties.
4. Hosting and Server Log Files
We host the content of our website with the following provider: Strato AG, Otto-Ostrowski-Straße 7, 10249 Berlin, Germany (hereinafter “Strato”). When you visit our website, Strato records various log files including your IP address. For further information, please see Strato’s privacy policy: https://www.strato.de/datenschutz/.
Strato is used on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in our website being presented as reliably as possible. Where corresponding consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG (the German Digital Services Data Protection Act, formerly TTDSG), insofar as the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent may be revoked at any time.
Data processing agreement
We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR for the use of the service named above. This is a contract required by data protection law which ensures that the provider processes the personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.
Server log files
When you access this website, the web server of our hosting provider automatically processes information transmitted by your browser (so-called server log files):
- IP address of the requesting device
- date and time of access
- page or file requested and volume of data transferred
- browser type and version, operating system
- referrer URL (the page visited previously)
This data is technically necessary in order to deliver the website and to ensure its stability and security. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in the secure provision of our offering). The log files are not merged with other data sources and are deleted automatically after a short period.
5. General Notes and Mandatory Information
Data protection
The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection provisions and this privacy policy.
When you use this website, various items of personal data are collected. Personal data is data by which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.
We point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g. when communicating by email) can have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
Storage period
Unless a more specific storage period is stated within this privacy policy, your personal data remains with us until the purpose for the data processing no longer applies. If you assert a justified request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible grounds for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, deletion takes place once those grounds cease to apply.
General information on the legal bases for data processing on this website
If you have consented to the data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR where special categories of data pursuant to Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, the processing is additionally carried out on the basis of Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to access to information on your device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), the data processing is additionally based on § 25(1) TDDDG. Consent may be revoked at any time. If your data is required for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data where it is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation, on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may also be based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Information on the legal bases applicable in each individual case is provided in the remaining sections of this privacy policy.
Recipients of personal data
In the course of our business activities we work with various external parties. In some cases, this also requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only pass on personal data to external parties where this is necessary in the context of performing a contract, where we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. transfer of data to tax authorities), where we have a legitimate interest in the transfer pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or where another legal basis permits the transfer. Where processors are used, we pass on our customers’ personal data only on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint controllership agreement is concluded.
Revocation of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may revoke consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out up to the point of revocation remains unaffected.
Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
IF THE DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS THE PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).
Objection to advertising emails
We hereby object to the use of contact data published in the context of the legal notice obligation for the purpose of sending advertising and information material that has not been expressly requested. The operators of these pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, for example by spam email.
6. Cookies and Local Storage
This website uses no cookies. Neither technically necessary nor analytical or advertising cookies are set; third-party cookies are not used either. Should we use cookies or comparable recognition technologies in the future, we will inform you separately within this privacy policy and — where required — obtain your consent in advance (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG); such consent could be revoked at any time.
The website remembers your choice between the light and dark appearance in your browser’s
localStorage (key sc-theme). This is purely functional storage required
for the presentation you have requested, without any personal reference; it never leaves your
browser. Pursuant to § 25(2) no. 2 TDDDG this storage is exempt from the consent
requirement. You can delete the entry at any time via your browser settings.
7. Fonts
This website uses the fonts “Inter” and “JetBrains Mono”. Both are served locally from our own server. No connection to servers operated by Google or other third parties takes place.
8. Contact Form and Enquiries by Email
Contact form
If you send us an enquiry via the contact form on the contact page, the details you provide in the form (name, email address, the subject you selected and the text of your message) will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.
This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where your enquiry is connected with the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) where this has been requested; consent may be revoked at any time.
The form is processed on our own web space; no third-party form or captcha service is embedded, and no cookies are set in the process. Your input is transmitted TLS- encrypted to the server of our hosting provider and forwarded from there by email to our mailbox; in this respect the section “Hosting and Server Log Files” applies. To protect against automated misuse, the form contains an additional field that is invisible to you as well as a limit on the number of submissions; for this purpose your IP address is stored on the server exclusively in hashed, non-reversible form and for no longer than one hour. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in preventing spam (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Your IP address is not included in the email sent to us.
The data you enter in the contact form remains with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your enquiry has been dealt with). Mandatory statutory provisions — in particular retention periods — remain unaffected.
Enquiry by email
If you contact us by email, we process the data you provide (email address, name, content of the message) for the purpose of handling your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where your enquiry is connected with a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in the effective handling of enquiries addressed to us) or Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR where consent has been requested; consent may be revoked at any time.
The data you send us remains with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been dealt with). Mandatory statutory provisions — in particular statutory retention periods — remain unaffected.
9. Data Protection in the SailCommander App
SailCommander processes files and settings on your Mac. Only when you use a function that requires a network destination you have chosen, or an external service, does the app establish the connection needed for it. SailCommander does not operate a cloud service of its own for your files and does not transmit any usage or diagnostic data to us.
- The app contains no analytics, tracking or advertising functions and sends no usage or diagnostic data to us.
- Credentials for server connections (passwords, keys, tokens) are stored exclusively encrypted in the macOS keychain on your device and are never transmitted to us.
- Connections to servers, containers and cloud services (e.g. SSH/SFTP, WebDAV, S3, Google Drive) are established by the app directly between your Mac and the destination you have chosen. Which data is processed in the course of this is determined by how you use the app; the privacy policy of the respective service provider applies.
- Connection favourites and settings are stored locally, in the app container or in the shared app group. The local connection log may contain the profile name, host, paths, time, result and technical error messages. It is deleted automatically after 30 days and can be cleared manually in the app beforehand.
- NIS2 reports and other exports you generate remain as local files until you delete them yourself.
- If you explicitly use a location search for photos in the file search, macOS transmits the geographic coordinates contained in the selected photos to Apple’s geocoding service in order to determine place names from them. Apple’s privacy policy applies in this respect.
- Purchases are processed via the Apple App Store (StoreKit 2). Apple’s privacy policy applies; we do not receive any personal purchase data. The start of the free 30-day trial period is stored exclusively locally in the macOS keychain.
Google Drive
If you connect Google Drive, sign-in takes place via OAuth directly between your device and Google. SailCommander requests access to your Google Drive so that you can view, download, upload, rename, move, copy and delete existing folders and files. In doing so, file names, metadata and the file contents you select are transferred directly between your Mac and the Google APIs. Crazy Softworks does not receive this data or your Google credentials.
The OAuth access token and, where applicable, the refresh token, together with the associated email address, are stored encrypted in the macOS keychain on your device. When you sign out, SailCommander attempts to revoke the Google authorisation and deletes the local copy of the token. You can also remove access at any time in the security settings of your Google account.
SailCommander’s use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements described there. The data is used only to provide the Google Drive features you initiate, not for advertising, profiling or the sale of data.
Deleting local app data
You can delete stored connections and their keychain entries in the app. The connection log can be cleared via the log view. Exported files are deleted by you in the file system. When the app is removed, entries stored in the keychain or in the shared app group may remain; these can be removed via the keychain cleanup offered in the app or via macOS.
10. Your Rights
As a data subject you have the following rights:
- access to the personal data processed (Art. 15 GDPR)
- rectification of inaccurate data (Art. 16 GDPR)
- erasure (Art. 17 GDPR)
- restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
- data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
- objection to processing based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (Art. 21 GDPR)
An informal email to the address given above is sufficient to exercise your rights. In addition, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR), for example with the authority responsible for your place of residence.
Information, deletion and correction
Within the framework of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain information free of charge about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of the data processing, and, where applicable, a right to the correction or deletion of this data. You may contact us at any time regarding this and any other questions on the subject of personal data.
Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
- If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
- If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
- If we no longer need your personal data but you require it for the exercise, defence or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
- If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data may — apart from being stored — only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.
Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority
In the event of infringements of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or the place of the alleged infringement. This right to complain is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies. As we are a controller established in Schleswig-Holstein, the competent authority is the Independent Centre for Privacy Protection Schleswig-Holstein (Unabhängiges Landeszentrum für Datenschutz Schleswig-Holstein, ULD), Holstenstraße 98, 24103 Kiel, Germany.
11. SSL/TLS Encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as enquiries you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
When SSL/TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
12. No Automated Decision-Making
Automated decision-making, including profiling, within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR does not take place.
13. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We adapt this privacy policy as soon as changes to the website or the app make this necessary. The version published here applies in each case.
Parts of this privacy policy were created using the privacy policy generator by eRecht24 and adapted to this offering.
