Privacy Policy

The protection of your data is important to us. This privacy policy informs you about what data is processed on ende.app and for what purpose.

1. Controller

The controller responsible for data processing within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the operator of ende.app. Contact details can be found in the website's legal notice.

2. Principle of Data Processing

ende.app is designed so that no identifying personal data is generally collected. Personal data is only processed when users voluntarily provide it.

There is no tracking for analysis or marketing purposes.

3. User Accounts

ende.app allows the use of anonymous user accounts.

No real names, no email addresses, and no other directly identifying data are collected.
User accounts are based exclusively on codes (UUID) or voluntary pseudonyms.
Direct identification of natural persons is not intended.

4. Fingerprinting for Abuse Prevention

To prevent abuse, automated access, and security-related attacks, ende.app uses a fingerprinting procedure.

Technical characteristics of the device used may be processed, for example:

Browser and system information
Technical configurations
Time-related characteristics

This information is combined into a pseudonymous fingerprint that does not allow conclusions to be drawn about the identity of users.

Purpose of processing:

Protecting the platform from abuse
Detection of unusual or automated usage
Ensuring technical stability

Legal basis:

Processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interests). The legitimate interest consists in protecting the platform and its users from abuse.

Processing for analytical, profiling, or marketing purposes does not take place.

5. Processed Data

In the course of using ende.app, the following data may be processed:

self-chosen pseudonyms
pseudonymous technical fingerprints
technically necessary session data (e.g. session IDs)

No combination with other data sources takes place.

5a. Optional Contact Details (e.g. Email Address)

At individual points on the website (e.g. in the guestbook or contact functions), it is possible to voluntarily provide an email address.

Providing an email address is not required for using the platform.
The email address is used exclusively to respond to the respective inquiry or contribution.
There is no disclosure of the email address to third parties.
The email address is not used for newsletters, advertising, or marketing purposes.

Legal basis:

Processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent) or Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, insofar as the contact is related to a request.

6. Server Log Files

The hosting provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files. These may include:

IP address (shortened or anonymized)
Date and time of the request
Page accessed
Browser and operating system used

This data is used exclusively for the secure operation of the website and is not used for user profiling.

10. User Rights

Users have the following rights under the GDPR in particular:

Access to processed data
Rectification
Erasure

Objection to processing

Since much data is processed exclusively pseudonymously, the assignment to individual users may technically not be possible in individual cases.
