2. Reach measurement — anonymous and cookie-free

Views and clicks on public pages (bio pages, short links) are measured purely statistically. No personal data is stored and no cookies are set:

• No IP storage. The IP address is used only transiently to derive a rough country/region/city and the provider from it, and is then discarded immediately — it is never stored.
• Only anonymous key figures are stored: country/region/city (coarse), device type, the referring domain (referrer) and a daily-rotating, non-reversible check value of the browser identifier string (user agent) — no cross-day re-identification.
• The geo lookup runs locally on the server (offline database); the IP never leaves the server.

Legal basis: legitimate interest in anonymous statistics (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Since no device information is read out and no cookies are set, no consent under § 25 TDDDG is required.

3. Cookies

Public pages set no cookies. In the logged-in area (account/editor) a technically necessary session cookie is used to keep you signed in and to secure forms (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). A cookie banner is therefore not required.

4. No transfer to third parties when loading public pages

When a bio page loads, no third-party content is fetched — fonts, scripts and icons are served by our own server (no Google Fonts CDN or similar).

Embedded content (e.g. Spotify, YouTube, OpenStreetMap) loads only after the visitor clicks the placeholder (“click-to-load”). Only then is a connection to the respective provider established, and that provider’s privacy terms apply.

5. Redirect links (/s/…)

When a short/tracking link is clicked, the click is counted anonymously as described in point 2 and then redirected to the target.

6. User account

To use the editor you create an account. We process your email address and an encrypted-at-rest password as well as the content you create. Purpose: providing the service; legal basis: contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). System emails are sent via our own server (no external mail-delivery service).

7. Hosting

The application is hosted by Hetzner Online GmbH, Industriestr. 25, 91710 Gunzenhausen, Germany. Hetzner processes data exclusively as a processor (Art. 28 GDPR) on servers in Germany.

8. Payments (Pro)

For paid features we use the payment providers Stripe and Lemon Squeezy. When you make a purchase, the payment/billing data required for processing is transmitted directly to the respective provider and processed there (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). This may involve a transfer to the USA (safeguarded by Standard Contractual Clauses and/or the EU-US Data Privacy Framework). The respective provider’s privacy notices additionally apply.

9. Services embedded in the editor

In the logged-in editor, some function libraries (for drag-and-drop, image cropping and charts) are loaded via content delivery networks (jsDelivr, Cloudflare); your IP address is transmitted to them in the process. Legal basis: legitimate interest in a functioning editor (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). These libraries are being migrated to self-hosting step by step. Public bio pages are not affected.

10. Your rights

You have the rights under Art. 15–21 GDPR (access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, data portability). For anonymous reach measurement there is generally no data attributable to you. You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
