Voigtei 45

ilka Leukefeld, founder of the MKH-Biennale
E-mail: ilkaleukefeld@posteo.net
A data protection officer has not been appointed, as the statutory requirements for doing so are not met.
3. General information and mandatory disclosures
We process personal data only within the framework of applicable law, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG).
This notice applies to visits to the website of the VI. MKH-Biennale 2026 and to contact via the channels listed here. There is no contact form and no newsletter.
Data transmission on the internet (e.g. by e-mail) can have security gaps. Complete protection against access by third parties is not possible.
Unless a shorter period is stated below, we store personal data only for as long as the purpose of processing exists or statutory retention obligations apply.
Where you have given consent, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, where applicable in conjunction with Section 25 (1) TDDDG. For the technical provision of the website and our legitimate interest in a secure offering, we rely on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The relevant basis is stated in the following sections.
4. Hosting and server log files
This website is hosted by Host Europe GmbH, Hansestraße 111, 51149 Cologne, Germany.
Provider’s privacy notice: hosteurope.de/AGB/Datenschutzerklaerung
On each request, the hosting provider stores information in server log files, in particular:
- IP address of the requesting device
- Date and time of access
- URL requested, HTTP method and status, amount of data transferred
- Referrer (previously visited page)
- Browser type, browser version and operating system
IP addresses are generally personal data. Processing serves technical provision, system security, error analysis and – where the provider supplies an evaluation of the log files and we use it – aggregated access statistics. We do not combine this data with other data sources.
Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in a secure and functioning website). The retention period is determined by the hosting provider’s specifications.
5. Fonts
For a consistent presentation we use the typefaces Oswald and Roboto. The files are stored on our server and are not loaded from Google. Visiting the pages therefore does not create a connection to fonts.googleapis.com or fonts.gstatic.com.
Oswald is licensed under the SIL Open Font License, Roboto under the Apache License 2.0. The IP address is not transmitted to Google for the purpose of fetching fonts.
6. Contact
If you contact us by e-mail or telephone, we process the data you provide (e.g. name, e-mail address, telephone number, content of the message) in order to handle your enquiry.
Legal bases: Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR (where the enquiry relates to entering into or performing a contract) or Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in answering enquiries).
E-mail correspondence of the founder uses Posteo (Posteo e.K., Berlin). Enquiries to the City of Halberstadt organising team are processed via the city’s IT.
