Last updated: 12 November 2026. This policy follows the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR, in German: DSGVO).

1. Who is responsible

The controller for data processing on this website under the GDPR:

[NAME]
[ANSCHRIFT]
Email: [E-MAIL]
[ZWEITER KONTAKTWEG]

2. The short version

  • This website sets no cookies. It remembers which “Today in 5” days you have already watched in your browser’s local storage (key hw-stories-seen). This list stays on your device, is never sent to us or anyone else, and you can delete it by clearing the site data in your browser.
  • There are no forms, no user accounts and no comments.
  • Fonts are loaded from our own server, not from Google or any other third party.
  • Videos from YouTube or Twitch load only after you click.
  • There are currently no ads and no affiliate links.

3. Hosting on Vercel

This website is delivered by Vercel. The provider is Vercel Inc., 440 N Barranca Avenue #4133, Covina, CA 91723, USA.

When you open a page, Vercel processes the connection data it needs to deliver the page and protect it from attacks. This includes in particular: IP address, date and time of the request, the address (URL) requested, the referring URL, the amount of data sent, browser type and operating system (user agent).

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is a secure, fast and stable website. We have a data processing agreement with Vercel under Art. 28 GDPR (Data Processing Addendum).

Transfer to the USA: According to Vercel, Vercel Inc. takes part in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. The transfer is based on the European Commission’s adequacy decision under Art. 45 GDPR. More information: vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy.

We do not analyse this connection data ourselves and do not combine it with other data. Vercel’s analytics features (Web Analytics, Speed Insights) are switched off.

4. Visitor counting with Plausible Analytics (no cookies)

[NOTE FOR THE OPERATOR: publish this section only if the Plausible snippet is switched on. Otherwise delete it.]

We use Plausible Analytics to understand which pages are read and how often. The provider is Plausible Insights OÜ, Västriku tn 2, 50403 Tartu, Estonia. Data is processed on servers in the EU.

Plausible sets no cookies and stores nothing on your device. A daily changing, non-reversible hash is made from your IP address and user agent to count visits; the IP address itself is not stored. Page, referrer, country, device type, browser and operating system are recorded in aggregated form. You are not recognised across days or websites.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is privacy-friendly visitor counting to improve the site. We have a data processing agreement with Plausible under Art. 28 GDPR. More information: plausible.io/data-policy.

5. Videos that load on click (YouTube, Twitch)

Some pages may contain videos. They are replaced by a placeholder. Only when you click “Load video” does your browser connect to the provider. At least your IP address, the page you are on and technical device data are then sent to the provider; the provider may set cookies and use the data for its own purposes.

Legal basis: your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) of the German TDDDG, which you give by clicking. It covers that one video and lasts until you reload the page. Where data is transferred to the USA, this is based on the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework if the recipient is certified, or on the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses.

6. RSS feed

Our RSS feed contains no tracking pixels and no tracking parameters. Fetching it only creates the connection data described in section 3.

7. Contact by email

If you email us, we process your details to answer your request. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for requests about a contract. We delete the message once the request is settled, unless we are legally required to keep it.

8. Your rights

You have the right of access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20) and to object to processing based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (Art. 21). You can withdraw consent at any time with effect for the future (Art. 7(3) GDPR).

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR), in particular in the EU member state where you live, work or where the alleged breach took place.

9. Changes

We update this policy whenever the website or the services we use change, in particular before any ads or new services are added.
