Visitor counter

To show how many people are online and how many visited today, your browser stores a random ID in local storage and sends it to our server every 30 seconds while the page is open. We store only counts per day. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

Ranking (ref links)

When you arrive through a listing's ref link, we count one point for that listing. To count each visitor only once per day we use a one-way hash of your IP address combined with the date; the IP address itself is not stored and the hash changes every day. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (fair, manipulation-resistant ranking).

Submissions

When you add a listing we store what you enter (link, name, description, category) and publish it after review. We keep a hashed, daily-changing identifier to limit spam submissions.

Advertising (Google AdSense)

We show ads from Google Ireland Ltd. Google may use cookies and similar technologies to show and measure ads, including personalized ads, only with your consent given in the consent banner. You can change your choice at any time via the privacy settings link in the banner. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and § 25 TDDDG. More: policies.google.com/technologies/ads.

Icons and avatars

Icons are loaded from Google (favicon service), Apple (App Store) and unavatar.io (profile pictures). Your browser connects to these services directly, which transmits your IP address to them. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

Hosting

The site is hosted by Hostinger. The server keeps technical logs (e.g. IP address, time, requested page) for security for a short period.

Your rights

You have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability and objection, and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
