2. Hosting and server logs
This website is hosted by Hostinger. When it is accessed, the IP address, time, requested address, transferred data volume, referrer, browser, operating system and HTTP status may be processed in server logs. This ensures secure, stable operation and abuse prevention. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Logs are deleted according to the configured hosting retention periods unless a specific security incident requires longer retention.
3. Strictly necessary storage
We use technically necessary cookies or local storage for language selection, form security and sessions. These include the PHP session, bm24_lang (up to 12 months) and, only if analytics is offered, your statistics preference. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR and the storage is limited to what is required for the requested service and secure operation.
4. Website submissions
For a submission we process the website address, domain, name, description, category, selected language, technical screening results, publication time and an HMAC-pseudonymised hash of the IP address. An optional email address is stored only as a non-reversible hash and is never published. The IP hash limits automated or mass submissions; the email hash can technically associate submissions but cannot be used to contact you.
The legal bases are Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for the requested listing and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR for abuse prevention, evidence and moderation. Public listing data remains stored until the listing is removed. Early deletion may be requested at support@backlinkmarkt24.de, unless overriding retention or defence grounds apply.
5. Automated security and content screening
The submitted website is automatically fetched and screened for availability, redirects, technical anomalies and common signs of spam, fraud, phishing, malware and adult content. Publicly available target-page content is processed. If a Google Safe Browsing key is configured, the submitted URL may also be sent to Google to check known threats. The screening determines whether a listing is immediately published or rejected. You may request human review at support@backlinkmarkt24.de.
6. Listing reports
When a listing is reported, we store the listing, selected reason, time and a pseudonymised IP hash. This prevents duplicate reports and supports moderation. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Report data is kept with the affected listing or until a necessary review is completed.
7. Google Analytics
If enabled, we use Google Analytics 4 by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. It may collect page views, session and interaction data, approximate region, browser and device information. Google states that EU user IP addresses are discarded before logging. Processing by affiliated Google companies outside the EEA still cannot be ruled out.
Analytics loads only after voluntary consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. No Google connection is made beforehand. Advertising storage, personalised advertising and Google Signals are disabled in our integration. Consent can be withdrawn through “Privacy settings” in the footer; accessible Analytics cookies are deleted and Analytics will not run after reload. More information: Google Privacy Policy and Google data use on partner sites.
8. Newsletter
BacklinkMarkt24 currently does not send a newsletter and therefore collects no email addresses for marketing messages. Before activation, this notice will identify the signup process, double opt-in, unsubscribe option, delivery provider, recipients, retention and any international transfers. No newsletter will be sent without explicit consent.
9. Recipients and international transfers
Recipients are limited to hosting and IT providers required for operation and public authorities where legally required. Public listing information is intentionally available worldwide. Data is sent to Google only if Safe Browsing is configured or Analytics is enabled and consented to. Depending on the recipient, transfers outside the EEA rely on an adequacy decision or EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
10. Your rights
Subject to the GDPR, you have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability and objection. Consent can be withdrawn at any time for the future. Contact support@backlinkmarkt24.de. You may also complain to the Austrian Data Protection Authority, Barichgasse 40–42, 1030 Vienna.
11. Security and changes
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures, including TLS encryption, access restrictions, CSRF protection, input validation and pseudonymised identifiers. This notice will be updated if features, providers or legal requirements change.
