Privacy Policy

Last upuvq-p0ced: April 1, 2026

NodeTrack Labs Inc ("NodeTrack," "we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of our readers and website visitors. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, process, store, and share personal data when you access our website, subscribe to our newsletter, submit forms, or otherwise interact with our services. This policy complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR / DSGVO), the German Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesuvq-p0censchutzgesetz, BDSG), and the German Telemedia Act (Telemediengesetz, TMG) as applicable.

1. Personal Data We Collect

We collect personal data in the following ways:

Data you provide voluntarily: When you subscribe to our newsletter, submit a contact form, create an account, or leave a comment, we may collect your name, email address, organisation name, job title, and the content of your message. Providing this data is voluntary; however, certain services (such as newsletter delivery) require at minimum a valid email address.

Data collected automatically: When you visit our website, our servers automatically record certain technical information, including your IP address (anonymised after 7 days), browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, duration of visit, and device identifiers. This data is processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in ensuring the security and functionality of our website (Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f DSGVO).

Data from third parties: We may receive aggregated, non-identifying analytics data from our analytics provider. We do not purchase personal data from third-party brokers or data enrichment services.

2. Legal Basis for Processing (Art. 6 DSGVO)

We process your personal data on the following legal bases:

• Consent (Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a DSGVO): Newsletter subscriptions, non-essential cookies, and optional analytics tracking. You may withdraw consent at any time by contacting us or using the unsubscribe link in any email.
• Contractual necessity (Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. b DSGVO): Processing required to provide services you have requested, such as delivering content to registered accounts.
• Legitimate interest (Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f DSGVO): Website security, fraud prevention, server log analysis, and improvement of our editorial services. Our legitimate interest does not override your fundamental rights and freedoms.
• Legal obligation (Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. c DSGVO): Compliance with German tax law, commercial regulations, and data retention obligations.

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — to ensure basic site functionality and, with your consent, to analyse website usage.

Strictly necessary cookies: These cookies are required for core website functions such as page navigation, session management, and security features. They cannot be disabled and do not require consent under DSGVO. Legal basis: Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

Analytics cookies: With your explicit consent, we use first-party analytics to collect anonymised usage statistics (pages viewed, session duration, approximate geographic region). No personally identifying information is stored in analytics cookies. Legal basis: Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a DSGVO. You may withdraw consent at any time via the cookie settings accessible from the footer of any page.

We do not use advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or social media tracking scripts. We do not participate in real-time bidding or programmatic advertising ecosystems.

4. How We Use Your Data

• To deliver and maintain our website and editorial services
• To send newsletters and editorial upuvq-p0ces to subscribers who have opted in
• To respond to enquiries, feedback, and support requests submitted via our contact form
• To analyse aggregate website traffic patterns for editorial planning and site performance optimisation

5. Data Sharing and Transfers

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We may share data with the following categories of recipients:

• Hosting provider: Our website is hosted on infrastructure located within the European Economic Area (EEA). Our hosting provider processes server logs containing anonymised IP addresses on our behalf under a data processing agreement (Auftragsverarbeitungsvertrag, AVV) pursuant to Art. 28 DSGVO.
• Email service provider: Newsletter delivery is handled by a provider operating within the EEA under an AVV. We share subscriber email addresses solely for the purpose of email delivery.
• Legal authorities: We may disclose personal data to law enforcement or regulatory authorities when required by applicable law or a binding legal order.

We do not transfer personal data to countries outside the EEA unless adequate safeguards are in place (e.g., EU Standard Contractual Clauses pursuant to Art. 46 Abs. 2 lit. c DSGVO).

6. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy:

• Contact form submissions: 12 months after the enquiry is resolved
• Newsletter subscriber data: until you unsubscribe or request deletion
• Server logs (anonymised): 90 days
• Analytics data (aggregated, non-identifying): 26 months
• Accounting records: 10 years as required by German commercial law (HGB § 257) and tax law (AO § 147)

7. Your Rights Under DSGVO

As a data subject, you have the following rights under the General Data Protection Regulation:

• Right of access (Art. 15 DSGVO): You may request confirmation of whether we process your personal data and, if so, obtain a copy of that data.
• Right to rectification (Art. 16 DSGVO): You may request correction of inaccurate personal data.
• Right to erasure (Art. 17 DSGVO): You may request deletion of your personal data, subject to legal retention obligations.

• Right to data portability (Art. 20 DSGVO): You may request your data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.

9. Security Measures

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

Despite these measures, no method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
