2. General information

We process personal data under the GDPR and applicable German law. The website can generally be used without actively providing identifying personal information; technical access information may still be processed. Optional analytics and advertising technologies require consent.

3. Hosting and access data

This relaunch site is designed for GitHub Pages static hosting. Hosting providers may process IP addresses, request times, accessed pages, browser/device characteristics, referring URLs and error information to deliver, maintain and secure the site. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

REVIEW BEFORE RELEASE: GitHub contracting entity, data processing terms, transfer safeguards and actual server log retention.

4. Cookies and consent preferences

Your consent preferences are stored locally using the key kubernauts-consent-v2 together with a timestamp. Necessary storage remains active. Analytics (Google Analytics) and marketing (Google Ads, LinkedIn and OpenAI Ads) are optional and off by default. No optional tracking tags have been installed on this preview site.

You can change your preferences and withdraw consent for future processing through Cookie settings. Depending on the processing, legal bases are Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and §25(1) TDDDG; necessary storage may qualify for §25(2) TDDDG exceptions.

5. Google Tag Manager

Google Tag Manager is not currently included in the relaunch build. If introduced, the actual tag configuration and consent dependencies must be documented. See https://policies.google.com/privacy.

6. Google Analytics 4

Google Analytics is not currently active in the relaunch. If activated after analytics consent, page views, events, device and browser information and session attributes may be processed for website analysis. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and, where applicable, §25(1) TDDDG.

REVIEW BEFORE ACTIVATION: responsible Google entity, retention periods, consent mode, and cross-border safeguards.

7. Google Ads conversions

If conversion measurement is later enabled, interactions such as contact-link clicks may be recorded following marketing consent. A scheduling-link click is not necessarily a completed booking. See https://policies.google.com/privacy.

REVIEW BEFORE ACTIVATION: actual conversion tags and responsible contracting entity.

8. LinkedIn Insight Tag

LinkedIn Insight Tag is not currently installed. It may later measure marketing performance and, depending on configuration, audience-related activity following marketing consent. Technical and advertising identifiers may be processed. Provider: LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company. See https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy.

9. OpenAI Ads measurement

The OpenAI Ads Measurement Pixel is not currently installed on the relaunch. If activated following marketing consent, it may process conversion events, timestamps, site origin, click references such as oppref and technical identifiers. It may use first-party cookies __oppref (intended 30 days) and __obref (intended 365 days).

Relevant legal bases when activated: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and §25(1) TDDDG. Preferences may be withdrawn for the future. See https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy/ and https://developers.openai.com/ads/measurement-pixel.

REVIEW BEFORE ACTIVATION: contracting entity, actual implementation, international transfers and contractual safeguards.

10. External Calendly bookings

If Calendly links are offered, selecting them takes you to an external service. Calendly may process name, email address, meeting details and optional information. Depending on the context, legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) or (f) GDPR. Provider: Calendly LLC, USA. See https://calendly.com/privacy.

11. Contacting us

When contacting us by email or telephone, we process details supplied to answer your inquiry, including your name, business contact details and message. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for contractual/pre-contractual communications, otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Retention depends on purpose and statutory requirements.

12. Newsletter

No newsletter registration form is currently present on this relaunch. If introduced, provider details, double opt-in where relevant, tracking, retention and opt-out rules will be documented before activation.

13. Recipients and international transfers

External providers may act as processors or independently responsible controllers. Where required, appropriate contractual safeguards are used. Transfers outside the EEA will be assessed under the GDPR, including adequacy decisions or appropriate guarantees such as standard contractual clauses.

14. Retention

Personal data is retained only for the relevant purpose or statutory obligations. Cookie lifetimes can differ from data retention periods of third-party providers.

15. Your rights

Subject to legal conditions, you have rights of access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction (Art. 18), portability (Art. 20), objection (Art. 21) and withdrawal of consent for future processing (Art. 7(3)). You may complain to a competent data protection authority.
