Privacy Policy

1. Controller

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is: Pixelbaum - Michael Tannenbaum Owner: Michael Tannenbaum Bergstraße 40 53332 Bornheim Germany Email: michael@carculated.com

2. Website Access and Hosting via Vercel

Carculated is hosted by Vercel Inc., 340 S Lemon Ave #4133, Walnut, CA 91789, USA. When you access the website, Vercel processes technically necessary access data so that the website, static files, serverless functions and security features can be delivered.

This access data may include, in particular, IP address, date and time of access, requested URL or file, referrer URL, browser and operating system information, transferred data volume, status codes and technical runtime data. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the reliable, secure and error-free operation of the website.

Vercel may also process data outside the European Union, in particular in the United States, and may use subprocessors. Where required, third-country transfers are protected by appropriate safeguards, in particular standard contractual clauses.

3. Calculator, Comparisons and Local Settings

Calculations generally run in your browser. To make the app usable, Carculated stores certain information locally on your device, in particular the cookie/consent decision, selected region, calculator mode and calculator parameters, dismissed notices as well as scenarios and settings for comparison mode.

This locally stored data is not automatically transmitted to us. If you create a result or share link, calculator parameters may be included as URL parameters in that link. Anyone who receives the link or processes it through an external service can see these parameters.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is to reliably provide the calculator, saved settings and comparison features. Where consent is required for individual storage access, processing is based on your consent under Section 25(1) TDDDG and Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

4. Server-Side Access Counts and Vercel Web Analytics

We collect minimal, aggregated server-side access counts to roughly understand the use of Carculated. Only page views by date and path are counted. URL parameters, IP addresses, user agents, referrers, cookies or other user identifiers are not stored in this statistic.

The server-side access count uses only data that is technically generated anyway when the website is requested and is used to improve and economically assess the service. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is to evaluate the reach of the website in a data-minimizing way.

We additionally use Vercel Web Analytics only if you select “Accept all” in the consent banner or below on this page. Usage data such as page views, referrers, browser information, country or region, approximate technical location data and performance metrics may be processed.

The processing through Vercel Web Analytics is not used for personalized advertising. The legal basis is your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and, where applicable, Section 25(1) TDDDG. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time below on this page.

5. Service Worker and Browser Cache

Carculated may register a service worker to store app files locally and deliver the website faster or more reliably. This does not create additional user profiles. You can delete the cache and service worker through your browser settings.

6. Sharing Features and External Platforms

If you use sharing features, Carculated initially only generates a link in your browser. Only when you open an external service such as WhatsApp, X/Twitter, LinkedIn or your email client do you leave Carculated and the respective provider processes data under its own rules.

For dynamic previews, URL parameters and result data may be processed by Vercel Functions to generate a title, description and preview image.

7. Affiliate Links and Partner Programs (Tarifcheck24 GmbH)

Carculated offers comparison calculators for car loans and car insurance. These services are provided in cooperation with TARIFCHECK24 GmbH, Zollstraße 11b, 21465 Wentorf bei Hamburg, Germany (Data Controller under GDPR).

If you consent to the use of these external comparison calculators, we embed so-called iFrames (embedded web pages) of TARIFCHECK24 GmbH on our site. For technical reasons, data such as your IP address, browser information, and access time are transmitted to servers of TARIFCHECK24 GmbH or their partners.

Should you enter data into the comparison calculators (e.g. vehicle data or personal details for insurance or loans), this data is stored and processed directly by TARIFCHECK24 GmbH or their partner companies.

We have concluded a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with TARIFCHECK24 GmbH in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. This contract ensures that TARIFCHECK24 GmbH processes the data on our behalf and in compliance with the strict requirements of German and European data protection law.

The integration of the Tarifcheck iFrames and the associated data processing takes place exclusively after your prior, explicit consent via our cookie banner or directly before loading the calculator. The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

8. User Accounts and Authentication (Supabase)

If you create a user account on Carculated, we process your email address and a secure password hash to grant you access to your profile and allow for server-side saving of your scenarios. We also record the date of your registration.

To provide the user accounts and store the associated database records, we use the Backend-as-a-Service provider Supabase (Supabase, Inc., 972 E. California Avenue, Sunnyvale, CA 94086, USA). Supabase operates primarily on AWS cloud infrastructure. Insofar as a data transfer to the USA takes place, it is legally safeguarded by the EU Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs).

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, as the data processing is necessary for the performance of the user contract (providing the account). You can irrevocably delete your account at any time in your dashboard. Upon account deletion, all your linked saved scenarios will be permanently removed from the database.

9. Contact by Email

If you contact us by email, we process the data you provide in order to handle your request and clarify follow-up questions. This may include your email address, the content of your message and communication timestamps. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where your request relates to pre-contractual or contractual matters, and otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

10. Your Rights

Subject to the GDPR, you have in particular the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection to processing based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw that consent at any time with effect for the future.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. The competent authority for Pixelbaum - Michael Tannenbaum in North Rhine-Westphalia is the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of North Rhine-Westphalia.
