Privacy Policy for RaulWalter.com
Effective Date: January 14, 2026
1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy outlines how RaulWalter OÜ (“we”, “us”, “our”), the operator of RaulWalter.com (the “Site”), handles information. RaulWalter OÜ is the data controller for any data processed in relation to this Site.
We are committed to protecting your privacy and collecting the minimum amount of information necessary for the operation of our Site.
2. Our Data Collection Philosophy
Our approach to privacy is simple: we collect as little personal data as possible. While we use essential technical logs and basic analytics to understand site performance, this Site is designed to function without the need for active personal data collection from our visitors.
3. Information We Do NOT Collect
To be fully transparent, we want to clarify what we do not do:
- User Accounts: We do not have a user registration or login system, so we do not collect personal information related to user accounts (like names, usernames, or passwords).
- Forms: We do not have contact forms, comment sections, or other forms that would actively collect personal information such as your name, email address, or phone number.
4. Information We Process and Why
Like virtually all websites, our web server automatically collects standard technical information in server logs. Additionally, we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our Site.
Analytics: Via Google Analytics, we collect information such as which pages you visit and how long you spend on the Site. We have implemented IP anonymisation, meaning your IP address is masked before storage. This processing is based on your consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)) provided via our cookie banner.
Server Logs: Includes your IP address, date/time of visit, pages accessed, browser type, and operating system. This is processed under our legitimate interest (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)) to ensure security and functionality.
The data processed includes:
- Your IP address
- The date and time of your visit
- The pages you accessed on our Site
- Your browser type and version
- Your operating system
- The referring website (if you followed a link to our Site)
The legal basis for processing this data is our legitimate interest (as per GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)) in ensuring the technical functionality, security, and integrity of our Site, and to diagnose and prevent technical issues or security attacks. This data is used solely for these purposes and is not used to personally identify you.
5. Data Sharing and Third Parties
We do not sell or trade your data. Data is shared with the following processors to operate the Site:
Google Ireland Limited: Processes anonymised analytics data. Data may be transferred to Google servers outside the EEA; however, this is governed by Standard Contractual Clauses to ensure data protection.
Hosting Provider: The server log data is processed by our website hosting provider, who acts as a data processor on our behalf. They are contractually bound to keep the data secure and only process it according to our instructions. We will not disclose this data to any other third party unless legally required to do so by a court order or governmental request.
6. Cookies
We use cookies — small text files placed on your device — to enable Google Analytics. These cookies help us distinguish unique visitors and session data. You can choose to decline these cookies via the banner on our Site or by adjusting your browser settings. We also respect “Do Not Track” signals.
7. Data Retention
Server logs are typically retained for 90 days for security purposes.
Analytics data is retained by Google Analytics in accordance with their standard retention periods (typically 14 months), after which it is deleted or aggregated.
8. Your Rights Under GDPR
As our Site is operated from Estonia (an EU member state), you have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Even though we collect minimal data, you have the right to:
- Request access to the personal data we hold about you.
- Request correction of any incorrect data.
- Request erasure of your personal data.
- Object to the processing of your data.
- Request restriction of processing.
To exercise these rights, please contact us using the details below.
9. Links to Other Websites
Our Site may contain links to other websites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party’s site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content or privacy practices of any third-party sites.
10. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
