Privacy policy

2. Hosting and server log files

This website is hosted on Firebase App Hosting, a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Processing takes place on servers within the European Union.

When you access this website, the hosting provider automatically collects information transmitted by your browser and stores it in so-called server log files. This includes in particular:

• IP address of the requesting device
• date and time of access
• name and URL of the file retrieved
• volume of data transferred
• notification of successful retrieval
• referrer URL (previously visited page)
• browser and operating system used

Processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in the technically correct presentation, the security and the stability of this website. The log files are deleted automatically by the hosting provider in line with its retention periods, unless they are required to investigate or defend against a security incident.

3. Cookies and tracking

This website uses no cookies and employs no analytics, tracking or marketing technologies. No usage profiles are created and no data is passed on to third parties for advertising purposes. A cookie banner is therefore not required.

4. Fonts

The fonts used on this website (DM Sans, Fraunces) are served locally from our own server. No connection to Google Fonts or other third-party providers is established, so no personal data is transferred to third parties in this context.

5. Contacting us by email

If you contact us by email, we process your email address and the information contained in your message solely to handle your enquiry. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR (pre-contractual or contractual measures) and Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in responding to your enquiry). The data is deleted once it is no longer required for that purpose; statutory retention obligations remain unaffected.

6. External links

This website links to our independent portals paylens.io, kartenkosten.de and bizguide24.de. The privacy policies published on those sites apply to the processing of personal data there. We have no influence on their content or data processing within the scope of this page.

7. Your rights

You have the following rights vis-à-vis us:

• right of access (Art. 15 GDPR)
• right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR)
• right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR)
• right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
• right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
• right to object to processing (Art. 21 GDPR)
• right to withdraw consent given (Art. 7 (3) GDPR)

An informal message to info@smallbizguide.de is sufficient to exercise your rights.

8. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority about the processing of your personal data. The authority responsible for us is the Hessian Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information, Postfach 3163, 65021 Wiesbaden, Germany.
