2. What we collect and why

Contact form

When you use the contact form we process the email address and message you enter. We use this only to answer your inquiry and handle any steps leading to a possible contract.

Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR (steps prior to entering a contract) and Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (our legitimate interest in responding to inquiries).

Server log files

When you visit the site, the hosting provider automatically records technical data such as your IP address, the date and time of the request, the page requested, and your browser and operating system. This keeps the site secure and stable.

Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in a secure, functioning website).

Demo inputs

The demos on this site let you enter text and, in some cases, upload files. To produce a result, that input is sent to Google's Gemini API and processed there. We do not use it for anything other than returning the result you asked for.

Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in showing a working demo).

Please don't upload confidential or personal documents into the demos. The data is simulated on purpose. Anything you enter is processed by Google's model, so keep it to test material.

3. Recipients and processors

We keep third parties to the minimum needed to run the site. The following processors may receive personal data:

4. Transfers to the United States

Some of the processors above are based in or transfer data to the USA. These transfers are safeguarded by the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and/or the EU Standard Contractual Clauses under Art. 46 GDPR. You can ask us for a copy of the safeguards in place.

5. How long we keep it

6. Cookies and tracking

This site uses no non-essential cookies and no analytics or advertising trackers. There is nothing to consent to, so there is no cookie banner. If that changes, this policy will be updated and consent requested first.

To exercise any of these, email [EMAIL].

8. Right to complain

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR), for example at your habitual residence, your place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. An overview of the German supervisory authorities is available at bfdi.bund.de.

9. Data security

This site is served over an encrypted TLS/SSL connection, shown by the https and the lock icon in your browser, to protect the data you send while it is in transit.

10. Providing your data

You are not legally required to give us any data. If you contact us, we need at least an email address to reply. Without it, we cannot answer your inquiry.
