2. What we collect and why
This is a largely static informational website. We only process personal data when you actively submit the application form.
| Data | Purpose | Legal basis (GDPR) |
|---|---|---|
| Name, work email, company, country, deal status, optional message | To respond to your application and, if relevant, arrange your participation in the Conversion Lab | Art. 6(1)(a) consent and Art. 6(1)(b) pre-contractual steps |
| Server log data (IP address, timestamp, request) generated by the web server | Operating and securing the website | Art. 6(1)(f) legitimate interest |
The application form uses your email client to send the message directly to us (via a mailto: action). Form details are not stored on this website's server.
3. No cookies, no third-party trackers
This website sets no cookies and uses no analytics or advertising trackers. Fonts, scripts and testimonial videos are self-hosted on our own server — your browser makes no requests to Google Fonts, content-delivery networks, YouTube, Vimeo or similar third parties. Because of this, no cookie-consent banner is required.
4. Hosting
The website is hosted on servers of Hetzner Online GmbH (Gunzenhausen/Nuremberg, Germany), acting as our processor under a data-processing agreement (Art. 28 GDPR). Data is processed within the EU.
5. Payment
Card payment is not yet active on this site. When Stripe checkout is introduced, this notice will be updated to describe that processing and Stripe's role before any payment data is collected.
6. Retention
We keep application data only as long as needed to handle your enquiry and any resulting participation, and for statutory retention periods where these apply. Server logs are deleted or anonymized on a rolling short-term basis.
7. Your rights
Under the GDPR you have the right to: access (Art. 15), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20), and objection (Art. 21). Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time with future effect. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority — for us, the Landesbeauftragte für den Datenschutz und die Informationsfreiheit Baden-Württemberg.
8. Changes
We may update this notice as the service evolves (for example, when payment or a backend form is added). The current version is always available at this page.
