2. Scope

This policy explains how we process personal data when you visit our website, contact us, and interact with affiliate links and analytics.

3. Hosting & Server Logs

The hosting provider processes server logs (e.g., IP address, date/time, URL, referrer, user agent, status code) to operate and secure the site. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interests). Retention: typically 14–30 days.

4. Contact Form & Email

When you contact us, we process your name, email address, and message to respond to your request. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR and/or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Processor/recipient: FormSubmit (form processing/forwarding; may involve non-EU transfers with appropriate safeguards). Retention: kept as needed for correspondence and typical archiving periods (usually up to 6–24 months).

5. Analytics

Plausible (cookie-less): We use Plausible to collect aggregated usage metrics without cookies or personal identifiers. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interests). No personal profiles are created.

6. Affiliate Links

Our pages may contain affiliate links. After clicking a link, the partner site may process your data for attribution and shopping. We do not set affiliate tracking cookies ourselves. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Please refer to the partner's privacy policy on their site.

7. Advertising

If we show personalized ads (e.g., Google AdSense), the provider may use cookies/online identifiers for advertising. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent). We use a Consent Management Platform (CMP) to manage consent. Without consent, only non-personalized or no ads are shown.

8. Recipients & Transfers

Recipients: hosting provider, FormSubmit, analytics provider (Plausible), and (if used) advertising/affiliate networks. Some recipients may be outside the EU/EEA. In such cases, we use appropriate safeguards (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses).

9. Retention

We retain data only as long as necessary for the purposes stated or as required by law. Server logs: 14–30 days; contact messages: usually 6–24 months.

10. Your Rights

You have rights under the GDPR: access (Art. 15), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction (Art. 18), portability (Art. 20), and objection (Art. 21) — especially to processing based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

To exercise your rights, contact support@eiweisspreis.de.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your data protection authority, e.g., the State Data Protection Authority in North Rhine-Westphalia (LDI NRW).

11. No Obligation to Provide Data

You are not legally required to provide data. Without certain data (e.g., email for the contact form), we cannot respond to your request.

12. No Automated Decisions

We do not use automated decision-making or profiling within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR.

13. Children's Privacy

Our site is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

14. Changes

We may update this policy. The current version is shown by the "Last updated" date above.
