Lytspel.org is a noncommercial website run by Christian Siefkes. We take not only privacy, but also the data minimization very seriously.
The topic of data protection is comprehensively regulated by the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). To help you understand which data we collect from you, how we process it, what we do to protect your data, and whom to contact if you have any questions, we’ve put together all the relevant information on this page.
The person responsible according to the GDPR is:

This privacy policy applies to the domain www.lytspel.org.
Personal data is any information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, information such as your name, age, address, phone number, date of birth, email address, IP address, or user behavior. Information that we can not relate to your person (or only with disproportionate effort), e.g. by anonymizing the information, are not personal information. The processing of personal data (e.g. collecting, querying, using, storing or transmitting) always requires a legal basis or your consent. Processed personal data will be deleted as soon as the purpose of the processing has been achieved and no legally required retention requirements have to be maintained.
If we process your personal data for the purpose of providing certain offers, we will subsequently inform you of the specific transactions, the scope and purpose of the data processing, the legal basis for the processing and the respective retention period.
When you use this websites, we may create log files that contain the date and time, the retrieved URL path, the referrer (if applicable) and the browser used. However, we anonymize your IP address using IP masking, so that we do not collect any personal data.
When you enter text in the the input field entitled “Traditional spelling” at https://www.lytspel.org and press the “Convert” button, the entered text will be sent to our web server. There it is automatically converted into the reformed Lytspel spelling and both the original and the converted text are sent back to your web browser. While being processed on the server, the text is only stored in memory, never on disk. At our side, no person will ever look at the text or get any information about its contents. The only thing we may log (in addition to the general information mentioned above) is the number of characters in the original and the converted text (that is, the length of the text).
When you select a file to upload and convert and press the “Convert file” button, a copy of the selected file will be sent to our web server. There it is automatically converted into the reformed Lytspel spelling and the converted file is sent back to your web browser. For technical reason, both the original and the converted file are stored on disk until the converted file has been downloaded by you and possibly for a short additional period of time; however, no file is ever stored for more than one hour. At our side, no person will ever look at the files or get any information about their contents. The only things we may log (in addition to the general information mentioned above) are the number of characters in the original and the converted file as well as the file extension (e.g. “txt” or “html”).
We do not deliberately collect any personal data on you or other persons; however, personal data may be contained in the texts and files submitted to our online converter. We never read these texts and files, nor do we share them with anybody else.
We do not use any cookies.
We do not use any external tracking and analysis tools.
We do not use any plugins of social networks.
You may occasionally find links to other websites on our website. By activating these links you will be redirected to the website of another operator, which you can recognize by the changed URL in the browser. We have no control over their content and therefore do not have any responsibility for how those other websites handle your personal information. We have not checked if the operators of those websites comply with the GDPR. Please inform yourself about it.
We are committed to protecting your privacy and keeping your personal information confidential. In order to avoid manipulation, loss or misuse of your data stored by us, we take extensive technical and organizational security precautions, which are regularly checked and adapted to technological progress. This includes, among other things, the use of recognized encryption procedures. However, we would like to point out that, due to the nature of the Internet, it is possible that the rules of data protection and the above-mentioned security measures may not be followed by other persons or institutions outside our area of responsibility. In particular, unencrypted data can be read by third parties – e.g. if sent via email. We have no technical influence on this. It is your responsibility to protect the data provided by you against misuse, e. g. by utilizing encryption technology.
