hello@leniuslabs.de3. Hosting
Our website is hosted externally. The personal data collected on this website is stored on the servers of the hosting provider.
Hetzner Online GmbH
This website is hosted by Hetzner Online GmbH, Industriestr. 25, 91710 Gunzenhausen, Germany. The server is located in the Nuremberg data centre, Germany. When you access this website, Hetzner automatically processes technical access data (IP address, browser type, operating system, time, pages visited). This data is technically necessary for the operation of the website and is not merged with other data sources.
Hetzner is a German company and is directly subject to the GDPR. No transfer of personal data to third countries takes place. The use of Hetzner is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in the reliable and secure operation of the website).
A Data Processing Agreement (DPA) is in place with Hetzner. Further information: https://www.hetzner.com/legal/privacy-policy
4. Data Collection on This Website
Server Log Files
The hosting provider Hetzner automatically collects and stores information in server log files, which your browser transmits automatically. This includes: browser type and version, operating system used, referrer URL, hostname of the accessing device, time of the server request, and IP address.
This data is not merged with other data sources. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR — the legitimate interest in the technically sound and secure operation of the website. Logs are deleted after a maximum of 30 days.
Cookies & Consent Management
Technically Necessary Cookies
This website uses technically necessary cookies and comparable storage technologies (e.g. localStorage) to provide basic functionality. This includes storing your language preference and your cookie consent. This data remains exclusively on your device and is not transmitted to third parties. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Contact Form
When you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact information you provide, will be stored for the purpose of processing the request and in case of follow-up questions. We do not share this data without your consent.
Processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where your request relates to the performance of a contract or is necessary for pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of enquiries directed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) where this has been requested; consent may be withdrawn at any time.
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, withdraw your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. once your enquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions — in particular retention periods — remain unaffected.
Data Storage (Neon)
Data submitted via the contact form is stored in a database provided by Neon (Neon Inc., 548 Market St PMB 43931, San Francisco, CA 94104, USA). The database server is hosted in the AWS Europe (Frankfurt, eu-central-1) region — meaning data does not leave the European Economic Area.
The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in reliable and secure data storage). A Data Processing Agreement is in place with Neon. Further information: https://neon.tech/privacy-policy
Waitlist & Email Delivery (Brevo)
When you sign up for our waitlist, your email address is transmitted to and processed by Brevo (Sendinblue SAS, 55 rue d'Amsterdam, 75008 Paris, France). Brevo is a European provider based in France and is fully subject to the GDPR. No transfer to third countries takes place.
We use the double opt-in procedure: after signing up, you will receive a confirmation email. Your email address will only be saved to our waitlist after you click the confirmation link. Without confirmation, your data will not be stored permanently.
The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent). You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting hello@leniuslabs.de. A Data Processing Agreement is in place with Brevo. Further information: https://www.brevo.com/en/legal/privacypolicy/
Logos of Technology Providers
This website displays logos of technology providers that we use for developing and operating our solutions (e.g. OpenAI, AWS, Anthropic, Google Cloud). These logos are used solely to provide factual information about the technologies and tools we employ.
All logos are stored as static files on our own servers (hosting: Hetzner, Germany) and served from there. When these logos are loaded, no connections are established to the servers of the respective companies and no personal data is transmitted to third parties.
The use of logos is based on our legitimate interest in transparently communicating our technical infrastructure (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The trademarks and logos displayed are the property of their respective owners.
5. Communication by Email
If you contact us by email (hello@leniuslabs.de), your details including the contact information you provide will be stored for the purpose of processing your request and any follow-up questions. This data will not be shared without your consent. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in processing incoming enquiries) or Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual measures). Data will be deleted once processing is no longer necessary and no statutory retention obligations apply.
5a. SSL / TLS Encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from 'http://' to 'https://' and by the lock symbol in your browser bar. When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
5b. Objection to Advertising Emails
The use of contact data published as part of the legal notice obligation for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby objected to. The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam emails.
6. Analytics Tools
Umami Analytics
This website uses Umami Analytics, a privacy-friendly open-source analytics tool that we self-host on our own server in Germany. Umami collects anonymised usage statistics including pages visited, referrer URLs, browsers and operating systems, device types, and the visitor's country of origin.
Umami does not use cookies and does not collect any personally identifiable information. No consent dialog or cookie banner is required. It is neither possible nor intended to identify individual visitors.
All data is stored exclusively on our own server (Hetzner, Germany) and is not shared with third parties. No data is transferred outside the EU.
The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in analysing and improving our website). https://umami.is
7. Legal Bases for Processing
Where we process your personal data, we do so on the basis of the following legal grounds under the GDPR:
Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR – Consent
You have given us consent to process your personal data for a specific purpose (e.g. functional cookies, future analytics). This consent can be withdrawn at any time.
Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR – Contract Performance and Pre-contractual Measures
Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract or to take steps prior to entering into a contract (e.g. processing your contact request).
Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR – Legal Obligation
Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject (e.g. statutory retention obligations under tax and commercial law).
Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR – Legitimate Interests
Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us (e.g. secure operation of the website, prevention of misuse, technical error logging), provided these interests are not overridden by your fundamental rights.
8. Data Transfers to Third Countries
The operation of this website may involve data transfers to countries outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA), in particular to the USA. In these cases, we ensure an adequate level of protection through appropriate safeguards:
- Hetzner Online GmbH (Germany): German company, directly subject to the GDPR — no third-country data transfer.
- Neon Inc. (USA, company headquarters): database server in AWS Europe Frankfurt (eu-central-1) — data stored exclusively within the EEA, no third-country transfer.
9. Retention Periods
Personal data is only stored for as long as necessary for the respective processing purpose. Beyond this, statutory retention obligations (e.g. commercial or tax retention periods of up to 10 years) may require longer storage. After expiry of these periods, data is routinely deleted. Specific retention periods are stated for each processing operation in this policy.
10. Your Rights as a Data Subject
You have the following rights under the GDPR in relation to the responsible party. To exercise your rights, please contact us at hello@leniuslabs.de:
Right of Access (Art. 15 GDPR)
You may request information about whether and which personal data we process about you, for what purpose, from which source, and to whom it may be disclosed.
Right to Rectification (Art. 16 GDPR)
You may request the correction of inaccurate or the completion of incomplete personal data.
Right to Erasure (Art. 17 GDPR)
Under certain conditions, you may request the deletion of your personal data — in particular where it is no longer necessary for the processing purpose or where you have withdrawn your consent.
Right to Restriction of Processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
You may request the restriction of processing of your data, e.g. if you dispute the accuracy of the data or have objected to the processing.
Right to Data Portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and to transmit it to another controller, where processing is based on consent or a contract.
Right to Object (Art. 21 GDPR)
You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to processing of your personal data based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interests). We will then no longer process your data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.
Withdrawal of Consent (Art. 7(3) GDPR)
Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time with effect for the future. The lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal remains unaffected.
Right to Lodge a Complaint (Art. 77 GDPR)
If you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority — in particular in the member state of your habitual residence or the place of the alleged infringement.
