Short version

This is a static informational website for the OnionHop application. It sets no cookies, runs no analytics, and does no tracking. It stores your language choice locally in your browser and loads a few external resources (a video embed, the GitHub API, and links to third-party sites) only as described below.

Hosting

This website is served by webgo GmbH (Hamburg, Germany; webgo.de). When you open the site, the host automatically processes connection data, including your IP address, the requested file, and the date and time, in server log files. This is technically necessary to deliver the page and to keep it secure. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in secure, reliable delivery).

Analytics

This website uses no analytics, tracking, or cookies. We do not profile visitors.

Local storage

Your chosen interface language is stored in your browser's local storage under the key onionhop.lang so the site remembers it on your next visit. This stays on your device and is never sent to us. You can clear it through your browser at any time.

Release data (GitHub API)

The Downloads section loads version, asset and download information from api.github.com directly from your browser. This transmits your IP address to GitHub as part of that request. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Video showcase

The showcase video is embedded from Gumlet (play.gumlet.io). The embed loads from Gumlet's servers when the page is opened, which transmits your IP address to Gumlet. If you do not load or play it, no further data is exchanged with the video host.

External links

The site links to GitHub, Discord, Ko-fi and FMHY. These are operated by third parties under their own privacy policies; this policy does not cover them.

You have the right to:

access the data we hold about you (Art. 15),
rectification (Art. 16) and erasure (Art. 17),

data portability (Art. 20),
object to processing (Art. 21).

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR). To exercise any of these, contact us at the email above.
