Website Privacy Policy

Preamble

Welcome to the Datapods website! We consider the protection of your data and your privacy to be of the utmost importance. Because nobody has the desire (or time) to read complete privacy policies, we will provide a short summary. The short summary can be found next to the legally binding, complete privacy policy for our website and our app. Have fun scrolling!

Datenschutzerklärung Webseite Einleitung

According to Art. 4 No. 1 GDPR, personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly. Further information on this can be found in Art. 4 No. 1 GDPR.

This privacy policy can be accessed, saved and printed at any time at https://www.datapods.app/privacy-policy-website.

Insofar as we cite our legitimate interest or a legitimate interest of a third party (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR) as the legal basis for the processing of personal data, you have the right to object in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR:

In accordance with Art. 21 GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of personal data at any time. We will then no longer process the personal data for the purposes of direct marketing or related profiling.

We will also not process your personal data for other purposes following an objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims (see, for example, Art. 21 (1) GDPR, so-called “limited right to object”). In this case, you must provide reasons for the objection that arise from your particular situation.

You can also object to the processing of your personal data for reasons arising from your particular situation, for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes in accordance with Art. 89 para. 1 GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest (see Art. 21 para. 6 GDPR).

We will also inform you separately about your right to object in the individual sections (e.g. by stating: “You have the right to object”), if this right exists. There you will also find further information on exercising your right to object.

In order to keep the following privacy policy concise, we provide links at various points to information and data protection notices on external websites (see also the section “Social networks & external links” in this privacy policy). We make every effort to keep the links that we list in this privacy policy up to date. Nevertheless, due to the constant updating of the websites, it cannot be ruled out that links may not function correctly. If you notice such a link, we would be pleased if you let us know so that we can update the link.

Who is responsible for processing my personal data and how can I contact the data protection officer?

You can contact our data protection officer by email at finn@datapods.app.

The controller within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 7 GDPR for the processing of personal data is:

Webflow

We use Webflow on our website. Webflow is operated by Webflow, Inc.398 11th Street, 2nd Floor, San Francisco, CA 94103.

Each time you visit our website, Webflow, which is our server host and acts as a sub-processor for us, automatically collects data and information from your device's system and stores it in server log files. This data is information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person (here: website visitor). The data is automatically transmitted by your browser when you visit our website. The following data is collected:

Date/time of accessing our website or calling up a function (request to the host provider's server),
Internet protocol addresses (IP addresses),
character string of the user agent that identifies the browser or operating system to the server,
installed fonts,
Mime types, i.e. which data the web server sends - for example, whether it is a plain text document, an HTML document or a PNG image,
Browser language and time zone,
Silverlight data,
installed plugins,
HTTP header,
screen resolution.

The purpose of this processing is to make our website accessible from your device and to enable our website to be displayed correctly on your device or in your browser. Furthermore, we use the data to optimise our website and to ensure the security of our systems. This data is not analysed for marketing purposes.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data described here is Article 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is to present you with a website that is optimised for your browser and to enable communication between the server of our host provider and your end device. In particular, the processing of your IP address is necessary for the latter. As we do not host our website ourselves, this would not be possible without the processing of personal data by a processor. In addition, Webflow has a legitimate interest in the (personal) data collected in order to offer its own services, to ensure the security of the product, for analysis purposes and for product development.

The data is stored by Webflow for a maximum of 12 months to ensure the reliability and stability of the website (e.g. to prevent DDOS attacks) and to provide the Webflow service to its customers.

Webflow also transfers the collected personal data to servers in the USA and processes it there. An adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR in the form of the EU-US Data Privacy Framework has been in place since 10 July 2023. According to this, the USA can ensure an adequate level of protection for personal data compared to the EU. As a US company, Webflow is certified by the responsible US Department of Commerce as a participant in the Data Privacy Framework.

Further information on this can be found in Webflow's General Privacy Policy and the EU and Switzerland-specific Privacy Policy.

According to its own information, Webflow uses the following sub-processors: https://webflow.com/legal/subprocessors.

Right to object

You have the right to object to the processing of your data. You can send or inform us of your objection at any time (e.g. by e-mail to kontakt@datapods.app).

The provision of personal data is not required by law or contract and is not necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are also not obliged to provide the personal data. However, failure to provide it may mean that you will not be able to use our website or will not be able to use it to its full extent.

jsDelivr CDN

We use jsDelivr CDN on our website. jsDelivr CDN is operated by Volentio JSD Limited,Suite 2a1, Northside House, Mount Pleasant, Barnet, England, EN4 9EB.

We use the open source services of jsdelivr CDN so that we can deliver our individual websites to you quickly and flawlessly on any device.

This is a content delivery network (CDN). A CDN is a network of regionally distributed servers that are connected via the Internet. As a result, content, especially large files, can be delivered quickly and optimally, even during large load peaks.

jsDelivr is structured in such a way that JavaScript libraries can be downloaded and hosted on npm and Github servers. However, WordPress plugins can also be loaded, provided they are hosted on WordPress.org. In order to provide this service, your browser can send personal data to jsDelivr. jsDelivr can thus store and collect user data such as:

IP address,
browser type,
browser version,
which website is loaded,
time and date of the page visit.

The privacy policy of jsdelivr expressly states that the company does not use cookies or other tracking services and only stores the collected data for a short period of time.

jsDelivr explains further: “The processing of IP addresses is essential for jsDelivr in order to provide the user with the desired data from the jsDelivr servers. In addition, the data is processed solely for statistical purposes in order to determine users' countries of origin, which is important for the expansion of the CDN infrastructure by placing servers in areas of the world where they are particularly in demand. jsDelivr does not process IP addresses for purposes such as marketing or reselling them to others. They are also not stored long-term. Instead, the data is aggregated as quickly as possible, often within hours, and then deleted.”

We have a legitimate interest in using jsdelivr CDN to optimize our online service and make it more secure. Without jsDelivr, certain elements of the website cannot be loaded or rendered and certain functionalities cannot be offered. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interests).

Further information on data processing by the software service jsDelivr CDN can be found in the company's privacy policy at: https://www.jsdelivr.com/privacy-policy-jsdelivr-net.

jsDelivr CDN uses the following sub-processors according to its own information: https://www.jsdelivr.com/terms/sub-processors.

The information collected in this way is transmitted by PostHog to a server in Germany and stored there.

The personal data in the form of recordings is deleted after 3 months. The user's activities are stored pseudonymized for as long as they are required to fulfill the purpose of processing. The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose.

The legal basis for processing the data that is processed when consent is obtained is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR in optimizing our online offering.

Further information on the processing of data by PostHog can be found in PostHog's privacy policy, available at: https://posthog.com/privacy.
