Technical server and hosting data

When you visit the site, our hosting and delivery infrastructure necessarily processes technical request data such as IP address, date and time, requested URL, referrer, status code, and user-agent information.

We use this data to deliver the site securely, defend against abuse, and troubleshoot incidents. Legal basis: Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Local settings stored on your device

We store your theme preference in localStorage (`lhg-theme`) so the site can remember light or dark mode.

We also store your analytics preference in localStorage (`lhg-cookie-consent-v1`) and in a cookie (`lhg_cookie_consent`) so we can remember whether optional analytics may load. Legal basis: Article 6(1)(f) GDPR for preference persistence and Article 6(1)(a) GDPR where the consent choice controls optional analytics.

Optional analytics

We currently use Google Analytics 4 only after you actively consent via the cookie banner or footer preferences link. Before consent, the analytics script is not loaded.

If you consent, Google may process page-view, device, browser, and approximate location data and may use cookies or similar technologies on your device. Legal basis: Article 6(1)(a) GDPR together with Section 25(1) TDDDG.

Google Analytics can involve processing outside the EEA. We rely on Google's current contractual and transfer mechanisms where required. You can withdraw consent at any time via the cookie preferences button in the footer.

Mobility tool data providers

Some tools on this site use live third-party data to return station, journey, fare, and weather information.

The mobility tools currently use transport.rest (`v6.db.transport.rest`) for station and journey data and Open-Meteo (`api.open-meteo.com`) for weather forecast data.

When you use these tools, our server sends the request data needed to retrieve the result you asked for, such as station names, station IDs, travel date and time, and route parameters. These providers may also receive technical request data from our server infrastructure that is needed to deliver their response.

We use these providers only to generate the mobility results you request. Legal basis: Article 6(1)(b) GDPR where the request is necessary to provide the tool output you asked for, or Article 6(1)(f) GDPR for the reliable operation of the site’s utility features.

Email contact and newsletter status

If you email us directly, we process your email address and the contents of your message in order to respond. Legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR or Article 6(1)(b) GDPR where your request relates to a pre-contractual matter.

A public newsletter signup is not currently enabled on the live site. If we launch it later, this policy will be updated before public rollout.

Retention periods

We keep technical logs only as long as needed for security and operations. Stored device preferences remain until you clear them or overwrite them. Email correspondence is kept as long as needed to handle the request and any follow-up obligations.

External links

Many pages link to official German authorities and third-party services. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy of the external provider applies.

Your rights

Under the GDPR, you generally have the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, objection, and data portability, where applicable.

If you want to exercise a right or ask a privacy question, contact us at golifehacks@gmx.de. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent data protection authority.

• Access to stored personal data
• Correction of inaccurate data
• Deletion where retention is no longer required
• Withdrawal of analytics consent at any time
