Hosting and server logs
When you visit this website, our server automatically collects technical information such as your IP address, browser type, date and time of access, and the requested page. This data is processed to deliver the site reliably and securely (Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR) and is not merged with other data sources.
Registration and member account
If you create a member account, we process the data you provide: name, email address, and a password stored in hashed form, plus any optional profile details (role, focus, bio, links) and company information you add. This data is processed to provide your account and the member features (Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR). Profile and company details are only shown publicly if you explicitly enable visibility in your settings. You can delete your account at any time in the settings; this permanently removes your account, profile, and company data.
Sign-in with Google
You can register and sign in via Google OAuth. In that case Google transmits your name, email address, and profile picture to us so we can create and operate your account (Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR). Google may process additional data under its own privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
Cookies and sessions
We use technically necessary cookies to keep you signed in (session cookies) and to remember your language preference. These cookies are required to operate the site (Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR) and are not used for tracking or advertising.
Newsletter
If you subscribe to our newsletter — via the newsletter form or the optional checkbox during registration — we process your email address to send you the newsletter, based on your consent (Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR). Delivery is handled by our email service provider Resend (Resend, Inc.). You can withdraw your consent at any time, for example via the unsubscribe link included in every newsletter.
Map content
The company map is rendered using map tiles from an external provider (OpenStreetMap). When the map is loaded, your IP address is transmitted to the tile provider; this is technically necessary to display the map (Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR).
Your rights
You have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and objection with regard to your personal data (Art. 15–21 GDPR). Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time with effect for the future. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, for example the Berlin Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information. For any request, contact us at [[email protected]].
