2. Nature and Content of the Website

The Website is a personal portfolio with information about currently played games, news and projects, skills, and links to external profiles and resources (e.g., GitHub, Discord, bio page). In addition, the subdomain share.elnino0916.de provides a file and image sharing service where uploads are only possible with a disclosed password; downloads are always possible without a password. Each upload is automatically scanned with antivirus software; files containing malware or other security issues may be rejected or deleted. There is no registration and no public interaction areas such as comments or forums. References to games or projects are not advertisements or paid endorsements. Media files uploaded to share.elnino0916.de are hosted on a private server located in Germany and protected by Cloudflare.

3. Non-Commercial Operation

The Website is operated without profit intent and serves solely personal, informational purposes. It is not a commercial telemedium under the German Digital Services Act (DDG); therefore, no imprint obligation under § 5 DDG applies. If the nature of operation changes significantly, this assessment will be reviewed and the content adjusted.
