Privacy policy

This privacy policy describes how helpful bits GmbH processes personal data when you visit belegda.de or write to us. The German version is the binding one.

1. Controller and contact

The controller under the GDPR is:

Email: hallo [at] belegda.de
Phone: +49 171 4709677

We have not appointed a data protection officer. Send privacy questions to the email address above.

2. Summary

• The website uses no analytics, no advertising and no content from other providers.
• The web server logs requests and deletes the logs after 14 days.
• If you write to us, we use your email only to reply.

3. Hosting and server logs

The website runs on a server of InterServer, Inc. in the USA. Cloudflare, Inc. sits in front of the website as a proxy and protects it from attacks. When you open a page, your browser sends technical data: IP address, date and time, the requested page, the referring page, and details of your browser and operating system. The web server writes this data to a log file. The logs are deleted after 14 days.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is to provide the website securely and to find and fix errors and attacks.

4. Storage in your browser

If you choose a light or dark appearance at the bottom of the page, the website stores this choice in your browser's local storage under the key theme. This is needed to show the page the way you asked for (§ 25(2) no. 2 TDDDG). You can delete the entry in your browser at any time. The website itself sets no cookies.

5. Email

If you write to us, for example to try BelegDa early, we use your email address and your message to reply. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your message concerns a contract, otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We delete the messages once the matter is closed, unless a legal retention duty applies. Our email runs on Microsoft 365 of Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited.

6. The BelegDa app

The BelegDa Mac app is not released yet. It stores documents and data on your Mac. The app will get its own privacy policy before its release.

7. Recipients and transfers to third countries

• InterServer, Inc., USA: website hosting.
• Cloudflare, Inc., USA: website proxy.
• Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited, Ireland: email.

InterServer and Cloudflare state on their own websites that they are certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. Transfers to them rely on the European Commission's adequacy decision of 10 July 2023 (Art. 45 GDPR). We do not sell personal data and do not use it for advertising.

8. Your rights

Under the GDPR you have these rights:

• Access to your data (Art. 15)
• Correction of wrong data (Art. 16)
• Erasure (Art. 17)
• Restriction of processing (Art. 18)
• Data portability (Art. 20)
• Objection (Art. 21): on grounds relating to your particular situation, you can object at any time to processing that we base on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

To use these rights, write to hallo [at] belegda.de. You can also complain to a data protection authority. The authority responsible for us is the Bayerisches Landesamt für Datenschutzaufsicht (BayLDA), Promenade 18, 91522 Ansbach, Germany.
