privacy
We value your privacy and keep things simple.
1. Data We Collect & Process
Polls & Comments
When you vote in a poll or submit a comment, we record your IP address.
This is necessary to ensure the integrity of our polls by preventing duplicate or automated votes, and to maintain accountability while protecting against spam or abuse in the comment section.
Technical Server Logs
Our server automatically logs basic technical information (such as the requested page, timestamp, browser type, and operating system) to maintain server stability and security.
IP addresses in these automated server logs are fully anonymized, and the logs are permanently deleted after 90 days.
2. Legal Basis & Data Retention
Legitimate Interests:
Processing technical log data and managing IP records for polls and comments to maintain website security, prevent manipulation, and ensure proper functionality.
Retention:
Poll votes and comments remain online to preserve the context history. Automated server logs are cleared out after 90 days.
3. Data Storage & Security
All data is hosted securely on servers located in Germany. Our hosting provider, ALL-INKL.COM, operates data centers exclusively within Germany under strict data protection standards. You can find more details about their data centers here.
4. Cookies & Local Storage
We do not use tracking cookies or share data with third parties. We only utilize data storage on your local device or temporary session cookies for essential features:
- Local Storage: Retains your selected theme preference. This stays entirely on your device and is never transmitted to our server.
