What we store

Language cookie. A cookie named lang holding en, de or fr, so the site opens in the language you picked. No identifier, no profile. Legal basis: strictly necessary for a service you requested.

Theme preference. Stored in your browser's local storage, never sent to the server.

Newsletter. Your email address, the language you chose, the date you subscribed and confirmed, and a salted hash of your IP address at the moment of subscription. The hash exists to prove consent and to stop automated sign-ups, it cannot be turned back into an address. Subscription is double opt-in: nothing is sent until you click the link in the confirmation mail. Legal basis: your consent. Every mail carries a one-click unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing deletes the row.

Push notifications. If you allow them, your browser gives us an endpoint URL and two keys. That is the whole subscription and it belongs to your browser, not to your person. Switching notifications off in the browser, or using the button on this site, removes it. Legal basis: your consent.

Listing requests. If you submit the vendor form, we store what you typed (company, contact name, email, website, software, category, markets, plan of interest, message) and forward it to our own inbox and to the lead system of TTA Technologies, so that a human can answer you. Legal basis: steps taken at your request before entering into a contract.

Server logs. The web server records requests with a shortened IP address, timestamp, URL, status and user agent, for operations and abuse defence. Legal basis: legitimate interest in running the service securely.

How long

Newsletter data until you unsubscribe. Push subscriptions until they are removed or stop working. Listing requests for three years after the last contact, because they are business correspondence. Server logs 30 days.

Who else sees it

Our hosting provider, Hetzner Online GmbH in Germany, as processor. Cloudflare, Inc. for DNS and edge delivery. Resend for sending mail. No data is sold, rented or passed to advertisers.

Advertising and your consent

This site can show display advertising. Nothing of the kind loads until you choose. On your first visit a banner offers two options with equal weight, only essential or accept all, and your choice is stored in a cookie named consent for six months. While the choice is only essential, no advertising script, no advertising cookie and no advertising identifier is loaded, and you see our own in-house promotion instead. If you accept all, an advertising network loads in the slots marked Advertisement and may set its own cookies and process your IP address and device data to select and measure ads, under its own privacy policy. You can change your mind at any time through the link in the footer, and withdrawing consent stops the scripts from loading on the next page view. Legal basis: your consent.

Sponsored articles work differently and involve no tracking at all. They are paid editorial slots, labelled as sponsored, and they load nothing from the sponsor.

Your rights

You can ask for access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, and you can object to processing based on legitimate interest. Write to desk@thinking.lu and we will answer within a month. If you are not satisfied, you can lodge a complaint with the Commission nationale pour la protection des données, 15 Boulevard du Jazz, L-4370 Belvaux, Luxembourg.

Changes

If this policy changes we update the date at the top of this page and, where the change is material, we say so in the newsletter.
