Privacy Policy

1. Data Controller

The data controller under GDPR is:
[PLACEHOLDER: Full Name]
[PLACEHOLDER: Street and Number]
[PLACEHOLDER: Postal Code and City], Germany
Email: [PLACEHOLDER: Email Address]

2. Data Collected and Purposes

We only process personal data when necessary for operating and securing our website and to fulfil legal obligations. Specifically:

• Server logs: anonymised IP address, browser type, timestamp, requested page — legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in security).
• Affiliate-link click tracking: a pseudonymised entry (hashed IP + user agent) is stored to measure product performance — legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent via banner).
• Cookies: see section “Cookies”.

3. Cookies and Similar Technologies

• Essential cookies (no consent required per § 25(2) TTDSG): session, CSRF, locale, theme.
• Affiliate tracking cookies (consent required): set on click on Amazon links. Recipient: Amazon EU S.à r.l., Luxembourg. International transfer to the US may occur on the basis of EU Standard Contractual Clauses and the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
• Analytics (cookieless): Plausible Analytics, self-hosted, no cookies, no third-party data sharing.

4. Recipients and Third-Country Transfers

When you click an affiliate link, you are redirected to Amazon.de. Their privacy notice applies. For server-side AI generation of texts and images, we may use providers based outside the EU (Anthropic, Google, OpenAI) — exclusively for aggregated/synthetic content, NOT with personal user data.

5. Retention

• Click events: 90 days, then auto-deleted.
• Consent records: 3 years (GDPR proof obligation).
• Server logs: 7 days, auto-deleted; longer in security incidents.

6. Your Rights

You have the right to access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20), and to object (Art. 21). You may also lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Art. 77).
