For all questions about your data, write to us at the e-mail address above.

• You can read this website without giving us any personal data.
• We do not use cookies, and we do not use advertising or tracking tools.
• We measure visits with Plausible Analytics. It works without cookies and does not identify you.
• The registration form on this website does not send or store anything yet.
• We do not sell your data.

We run this website on our own server. When you open a page, your browser automatically sends technical data to the server. This can include:

• your IP address,
• date and time of the request,
• the page you open and the page you came from (referrer),
• your browser type and operating system.

We need this data to show you the website and to keep the server safe and stable, for example to find errors and stop attacks. We do not use it to identify you, and we do not combine it with other data.

Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is a working, secure website. We keep log files only as long as we need them for these purposes.

We use Plausible Analytics to understand how many people visit our website and which pages are useful. Plausible is privacy-friendly analytics software provided by Plausible Insights OÜ (Estonia), and the data is processed in the EU.

Plausible does not use cookies and does not store anything on your device. It does not create user profiles and does not follow you across other websites. To count unique visits, Plausible briefly uses your IP address and browser information to create a daily changing, anonymous code. The IP address itself is not stored. We only see summarised numbers, for example page views, countries and the type of device.

Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is to improve our website with simple statistics that do not identify anyone. Because Plausible does not access or store information on your device, no consent is needed under § 25 TDDDG.

This website does not set cookies and does not store information on your device (such as local storage). That is why you do not see a cookie banner. If this changes, we will update this policy and ask for your consent where the law requires it (§ 25 TDDDG).

The fonts on this website are stored on our own server. Your browser does not connect to Google or any other font provider when you visit our pages.

Registration is not open yet. The form on our registration page does not send your e-mail address anywhere and does not save it. Before registration goes live, we will explain here which data we process for it, and why.

If you write to us by e-mail, we use your e-mail address and your message only to answer you. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (our interest is to answer your request), or Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR if your message is about a contract or steps before a contract. We delete your message when we no longer need it, unless the law says we must keep it longer.

Our pages link to other websites, for example fluedy.com (a German learning app, also by haello.ai GmbH) and the official German portal anerkennung-in-deutschland.de. No data is sent to these websites until you click a link. After that, the privacy policy of the other website applies.

We only share data with service providers who help us run this website, such as our hosting and analytics providers. They process data only on our instructions (Art. 28 GDPR). We do not pass your data to anyone else unless the law requires it.

You have the right to:

• get information about the data we hold about you (Art. 15 GDPR),
• have wrong data corrected (Art. 16 GDPR),
• have your data deleted (Art. 17 GDPR),
• limit how we process your data (Art. 18 GDPR),
• receive your data in a common format (Art. 20 GDPR),
• withdraw a consent you gave us, at any time and for the future (Art. 7 (3) GDPR).

Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR): where we process data based on our legitimate interest (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR), you can object at any time for reasons that come from your particular situation.

To use your rights, write to info@haello.ai.

You also have the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR). You can contact the authority where you live or work, or the authority responsible for us: Landesbeauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit Nordrhein-Westfalen (LDI NRW), Düsseldorf, Germany.

We update this policy when our website or the law changes, for example when registration opens. The current version is always on this page.
