Privacy Policy & Use of Cookies

Dear visitor, thank you for using our website HowToGoogleThat.com (hereafter referred to as the "website"). On this page, you can find information about what data we may collect about you and the purposes for which we do so. We also describe how and why we use cookies under the GDPR legislation and relevant EU regulations.

1. What Data We Collect and Why

• IP address and approximate location (city, or possibly country): We collect these data when a link is created (to distinguish who generated the link) and also for analyzing traffic (to see from where users arrive and how they use the site).
• The query (question) you enter: If you create a parody link for a "lazy person," we store the text of the question (query), and then we simulate it in our parody animation. These data are not used for marketing, rather for fun (recreation) and to improve our service.
• Cookies: Our website primarily uses analytical and functional cookies, which help us improve the performance and functionality of the site. – Analytical cookies (e.g., for visitor statistics and user behavior) – Functional cookies (e.g., remembering that a user accepted the conditions, so the cookie banner does not reappear)

None of these data are provided to third parties for marketing or other purposes. We only use them for analytics (to see how many people use the site) and for functional improvements (e.g., preventing certain banners from reappearing repeatedly, or better understanding errors on the site).

2. Who Processes the Data

We do not rent or outsource any external company to process personal data; the processing is handled within our team. We may use a reliable hosting provider for website hosting and technical operations, one that also follows the GDPR regulations.

3. How Long We Retain the Data

• IP addresses and database entries (links, logs) are retained only as long as they are needed for operation and statistics, generally no longer than 1 year. This is not a strict rule, as actual needs may vary.
• Cookies typically last for about 1 year (e.g., cookie_consent) or according to the settings in the user's browser. Analytical cookies may last from 30 days to 1 year, depending on usage.

4. Your Rights (GDPR)

Under the GDPR, every user has the right to access their data, the right to rectify or erase them, or to restrict processing or object to processing. You also have the right to data portability. If you believe your rights have been violated, you have the right to file a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority (for example, your local Data Protection Authority).

5. How to Reject / Delete Cookies

You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings at any time (see the "Privacy" or "Security" section). Please note that some website functions (for example, remembering your consent) may not work correctly without cookies.

6. Contact

If you have any questions regarding data protection, you can contact us by email at hidden.
