Privacy Statement for MartinusWiki

Last Updated: 25-4-2025

Welcome to MartinusWiki! We are committed to protecting your privacy. This statement explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information. Our website is based in Denmark, and we comply with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

1. Data Controller

The data controller responsible for your personal data on this wiki is: user:lasse

2. What Personal Data We Collect

We keep data collection to a minimum: Account Information: When you create an account, we collect a username and a password (stored securely using hashing). You may optionally provide an email address for password recovery or notifications, but this is not required to use the basic functions of the wiki.

Contribution Data: When you edit pages or participate in discussions on the wiki, your username and the timestamp of your contribution are recorded publicly in the page history. Your IP address may also be temporarily logged for security and anti-spam purposes but is generally not publicly displayed alongside your edits if you are logged in.

Server Logs: Like most websites, our servers automatically log basic technical information when you visit the site, such as your IP address, browser type, access times, and pages visited. This is used for site security, troubleshooting, and anonymous statistics.

3. How We Use Your Data and Legal Basis

We use your data for the following purposes: To provide the wiki service: Managing your account, allowing you to log in, and attributing your contributions (Legal basis: Performance of a contract/service you requested by signing up, and Legitimate Interest in operating the wiki).

To maintain site security and prevent abuse: Analyzing logs to detect and prevent spam, vandalism, or security breaches (Legal basis: Legitimate Interest).

To manage the wiki content: Tracking edits allows for collaboration, version history, and quality control, which is the core function of a wiki (Legal basis: Legitimate Interest).

(If email provided) For communication: Sending password resets or important site notifications if you opt-in (Legal basis: Consent or Legitimate Interest depending on the communication).

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information with third parties.

Your username and contributions are publicly visible on the wiki as part of its collaborative nature. We may share technical log data with technical service providers (like our hosting provider) solely for the purpose of operating and securing the website. They are bound by confidentiality agreements. We will only disclose personal data if required by law or a valid legal order.

5. Data Retention

Account Information: Retained as long as your account exists. You can request account deletion (see Your Rights).

Contribution Data: Contributions (edits, comments linked to your username) are generally kept indefinitely as part of the wiki's public history. This is essential for the integrity and purpose of the wiki. Consider this before contributing. Server Logs: Typically retained for a short period (e.g., 14-90 days) for security and analysis, then deleted or anonymized.

6. Cookies

We do not use cookies on this website. You do not need to worry about cookie consent banners or tracking cookies.

7. Your Rights (GDPR)

As a user based in the EU, you have rights regarding your personal data:

Right to Access: You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.

Right to Rectification: You can ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data (e.g., update your optional email address).

Right to Erasure ('Right to be Forgotten'): You can request the deletion of your account information. Please note that your contributions (edits associated with your username) may be retained and potentially anonymized or attributed to a generic "deleted user" status rather than being fully deleted, to maintain the wiki's integrity. We will assess this on a case-by-case basis.

Right to Restrict Processing: You can ask us to limit how we use your data under certain circumstances.

Right to Object: You can object to processing based on legitimate interests.

Right to Data Portability: You may request your account data in a machine-readable format (likely limited given the simple nature of the data).

To exercise these rights, please contact us at [Your Contact Email]. We will respond to your request within one month.

8. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. This includes using HTTPS encryption and secure password hashing.

9. Complaints

If you believe your data protection rights have been violated, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Danish Data Protection Agency (Datatilsynet) or your local supervisory authority.
