Privacy policy

2. Hosting and server log files

This website is hosted by Vercel Inc., 440 N Barranca Ave #4133, Covina, CA 91723, USA. When you visit, the server processes technically necessary data (IP address, date and time, page requested, browser and operating system, referrer) to deliver the site and protect it from abuse. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in a secure, working site). Transfers to the USA rely on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework adequacy decision where the provider is certified, otherwise on EU standard contractual clauses.

3. No cookies, no tracking

This website sets no cookies and uses no analytics or advertising services. Fonts and images are served by this website itself, not by third parties.

4. Contact by email

If you email us, we process what you send to answer your request (Art. 6(1)(b) or (f) GDPR) and delete it once it is no longer needed for that and no statutory retention duty applies.

5. Suit designer

Logos you upload in the suit designer are processed only in your browser and are not sent to us or anyone else.

5a. Personal sponsorship decks

Companies we send a personal deck receive a link to rr-decks.vercel.app. That page records whether and when the deck is opened, which pages are viewed and for how long — tied to the company it was made for, not to a person. No cookies are set. The purpose is to follow up at the right time; the legal basis is our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The data is deleted when the conversation ends, at the latest after 12 months.

6. Newsletter

If you subscribe to the newsletter, we process your email address and language to send you news from Laurenz Rühl. The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You first receive an email to confirm your subscription (double opt-in); we keep the time of signup and confirmation as proof. Emails are sent by Kit (ConvertKit LLC, USA). Kit records whether emails are opened and links clicked so we can improve the newsletter. Transfers to the USA rely on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework where Kit is certified, otherwise on EU standard contractual clauses. You can withdraw consent at any time — through the unsubscribe link in every email or by emailing us. Your address is then removed from the list.

7. Your rights

You have the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability and objection (Art. 15–21 GDPR), and the right to withdraw consent you have given. You may also complain to a data protection authority, for example the Hessian Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information.
