Our website is hosted on dedicated servers by STRATO AG (Berlin). We manage the server ourselves; STRATO provides the technical hardware and network but has no access to your personal data. A data processing agreement (AVV) is in place.

Cookies & Local Storage

We use Cookies and HTML5 Storage to improve your experience. Transient Cookies (Session-IDs) are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent Cookies are stored for a specific duration to remember your login or preferences.

3. Community Features (EasySocial & EasyBlog)

When you register or comment, we process your username, email, and IP address. This is necessary to prevent the publication of illegal content and to defend against liability claims (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).

Gamification System

We process activity data (posts, badges, levels) to provide our community features. This data is essential for the functionality of our platform and is stored as long as your account remains active.

Special Note (Art. 9 GDPR)

YouTube & Social Media

Videos are embedded in "Enhanced Privacy Mode". Social plugins (Facebook, Instagram, X/Twitter) use a two-click solution: no data is sent unless you actively click the button.
