2. Hosting and server log files

This website is hosted by Hostinger International Ltd., 61 Lordou Vironos Street, 6023 Larnaca, Cyprus. When you visit this website, the hosting provider automatically collects and stores information in server log files that your browser transmits: IP address, date and time of the request, browser type and version, operating system, referrer URL and pages visited. This data is processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in the secure and stable operation of this website (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) and is deleted after a short period. We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) with our hosting provider.

3. Waitlist / email updates (Mailchimp)

If you sign up for our waitlist, the email address you provide is processed by the newsletter service Mailchimp, operated by Intuit Inc., 405 N. Angier Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.

• Purpose: sending you information about Duo Gelato Academy courses, dates and enrollment.
• Legal basis: your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR), given by ticking the consent box and confirming via double opt-in email.
• Withdrawal: you can withdraw your consent at any time via the unsubscribe link in every email or by contacting us. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
• Storage: your data is stored until you withdraw your consent.
• Transfer to the USA: Intuit Inc. is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, which the European Commission has recognised as providing an adequate level of data protection.

4. Local storage

This website stores your language preference (English/German) in your browser's local storage. This is technically required to provide the function you requested, involves no tracking, and no data is transmitted to us or to third parties (Section 25 (2) TDDDG).

5. Fonts

All fonts used on this website are hosted locally on our own server. No connection to Google or other third-party font services is established when you visit this site.

This website uses SSL/TLS encryption (https) to protect the transmission of the data you enter.

Under the GDPR you have the right to:

• access your personal data (Art. 15),

• withdraw any consent at any time with effect for the future (Art. 7 (3)).

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular the Berlin Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (Berliner Beauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit), datenschutz-berlin.de.

8. No automated decision-making

We do not use automated decision-making or profiling.

9. Cookies and web analytics (Google Analytics)

We use cookies and comparable technologies (e.g. local storage). Strictly necessary storage — including the record of your cookie choices — is used to provide functions you requested and to keep the site secure, without requiring consent (Section 25 (2) TDDDG, Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).

For statistical analysis we use Google Analytics 4, a service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, integrated through Google Tag Manager.

• Consent required: analytics and advertising cookies are only set after you give consent through our cookie banner. We use Google Consent Mode v2; by default all analytics and advertising storage is denied until you opt in.
• Legal basis: your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and Section 25 (1) TDDDG).
• Purpose: measuring how the website is used (pages viewed, traffic source, device type, approximate region) in order to improve our offering. Google Analytics 4 does not log full IP addresses.
• Withdrawal: you can change or withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future via the “Cookie settings” button at the bottom-left of every page.
• Transfer to the USA: data may be processed by Google LLC in the USA. Google LLC is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, recognised by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of data protection.
