5. Processors (Art. 28 GDPR)

We use the following processors:

  • Hetzner Online GmbH — hosting / infrastructure (DE)
  • Resend, Inc. — transactional email (DPA / SCCs required)
  • Cloudflare, Inc. — Turnstile captcha for bot protection on registration and sign-in (DPA / SCCs required)

Data processing agreements pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR are in place with all processors, or will be concluded before production launch.

6. Umami analytics

This platform uses cookie-free, pseudonymous analytics via Umami, self-hosted on the Hetzner server in Germany. Umami processes page views, referrer, browser, operating system, device type, screen resolution, browser language, approximate country, and approximate region and city. These approximate locations are derived server-side from the IP address. The IP address and user agent are used to derive a website-specific, monthly rotating pseudonymous session ID. Umami does not retain the raw IP address in its analytics records. Umami uses no analytics cookies, cross-site tracking, session replay, or directly identifying visitor profile. The processing measures and improves the platform under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Records are deleted after 12 months.

7. Your rights

Access, rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability, objection, and complaint to a supervisory authority (e.g. the data protection authority of your federal state).

8. Cookies

We use a technically necessary session cookie (session) for sign-in. It is required for operation and stores no tracking data.

On registration, sign-in, and other public auth forms we use Cloudflare Turnstile. Cloudflare cookies (e.g. cf_clearance) and technical data such as IP address and browser information may be processed to detect automated abuse.
