Third-Party Services
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) to analyze website usage. It uses cookies to collect data (e.g., IP address, pages visited), transferred to Google servers (possibly in the US under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework). Opt out via browser settings or Google’s opt-out tool.
Google AdSense
Google AdSense (same provider) serves ads using cookies and web beacons, collecting data like IP address and ad interactions. Data may transfer to the US. Opt out via browser settings or Google’s Ad Settings.
Ezoic
We use Ezoic (Ezoic Inc., 6023 Innovation Way, Carlsbad, CA 92009, USA) for ad optimization and analytics. It collects data (e.g., IP address, browsing behavior) via cookies, possibly transferred to the US under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. Opt out via Ezoic’s privacy settings or browser controls.
Disclosure to Third Parties
We may share your data with:
- Affiliates or subsidiaries
- Service providers (e.g., hosting, IT, analytics like Google/Ezoic)
- Employees and contractors
- Legal authorities if required by law
All third parties are bound by GDPR-compliant agreements where applicable.
International Transfers
Data may be processed or stored outside the EU (e.g., US) by us or our partners (Google, Ezoic). We ensure transfers comply with GDPR (e.g., EU-US Data Privacy Framework, Standard Contractual Clauses), protecting your data per this policy.
Data Security
We use commercially reasonable measures to protect your data from loss, theft, or unauthorized access. However, no online system is 100% secure. We comply with GDPR breach notification rules if a breach occurs.
Data Retention
We retain your data only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined (e.g., active subscriptions, legal obligations). Post-use, we delete or anonymize it, except for legal, accounting, or statistical needs (e.g., tax records retained for 10 years per German law).
Your GDPR Rights
As an EU resident, you have these rights under GDPR:
- Access: Request copies of your data (small fee may apply).
- Rectification: Correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Erasure: Request deletion, subject to legal exceptions.
- Restriction: Limit processing under certain conditions.
- Objection: Object to processing (e.g., marketing), which we’ll honor unless overridden by legitimate grounds.
- Portability: Receive or transfer your data to another entity.
To exercise these rights, use our Contact Form. We’ll respond within one month. For complaints, contact us or the German data protection authority (e.g., Berliner Beauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit).

We may update this policy to reflect legal or operational changes, posted here with reasonable notice where required (e.g., email for significant updates). New uses of your data will require consent if mandated by law.
