What this site stores, which is close to nothing.
Visitor count
An exception to what this page otherwise says about outside services: every page loads a small counting script from a.teaser.md, the network's own statistics server. It is hosted in a data centre in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, and the data is not passed on to third parties.
The script sets no cookies and stores nothing in your browser. It records the page viewed, the page the visit came from, screen width and language, the broad device type, browser and operating system, and clicks on downloads and on links to other websites. Your IP address is used only briefly to determine country and city and to form a daily hash, then discarded and never stored. The hash changes every day, so a visitor cannot be recognised from one day to the next. Raw data is deleted after twelve months. If your browser sends “Do Not Track”, the visit is not counted.
The legal basis is our legitimate interest in measuring the reach of these pages with as little data as possible (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).
Advertising
Through the counting script, every page also loads the advertising script ad.member.show/axaix.js. On the network’s magazines it shows labelled ads from members of the member.show network, and banner.member.show serves the banner images. Both addresses belong to the network itself and are hosted by the provider Hostinger. No data is passed on to advertisers or any other third parties.
The advertising script sets no cookies, stores nothing in your browser and builds no user profiles. Which ad appears depends only on the page viewed and its language. Impressions and clicks are counted solely as totals per ad, page and day, and your IP address is not stored for this. A click on an ad passes briefly through ad.member.show and then on to the advertiser.
The legal basis is our legitimate interest in funding the magazines through advertising and showing advertisers the reach of their ads (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).
The short version
This site sets no cookies, runs no third-party analytics and embeds nothing from anybody else. The only requests that leave this domain are an anonymous, cookieless visitor count on a.teaser.md, the network's own statistics server, described below, and the contact and newsletter forms from formdialog.com, NexTao GmbH's own form service (see Contact form and newsletter). Apart from these two, fonts, images, scripts and styles are served from foraris.com itself. Nothing you type into a studio, a checklist or the compass leaves your device.

Server log files
The hosting provider stores standard access data: the requesting page, the file requested, the status code, the amount of data transferred, the referrer, the browser and operating system, and the IP address. This is done on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR to operate and secure the service, and the data is deleted after seven days at the latest.
Contact form and newsletter
The contact form and the newsletter sign-up come from formdialog.com, the form service of NexTao GmbH. It runs on its own server at Hostinger in Frankfurt am Main, sets no cookies and loads nothing from third parties. With the form it learns on which foraris page it is shown.
If you send a message, the name, email address, subject and message text are processed in order to answer it (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). The message is delivered to the editors by email, stored in the form service and deleted once it is no longer needed. To fend off abuse, the IP address of every submission is kept for 14 days (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
The letter uses double opt-in: after signing up you receive an email with a confirmation link, and only the click on it subscribes you. Unconfirmed sign-ups are deleted after 30 days. As proof of consent, the time and IP address of the sign-up and of the confirmation are stored. The address stays on the list until you unsubscribe, which the link in every letter allows (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). No data is passed on to third parties.
Department votes
A vote in a department poll transmits only the identifier of the poll and the option chosen. No identifier, no IP address and no cookie is stored with it, and the totals are aggregated.
Local storage
The studios, the checklists, The Foraris 50 and the light or dark setting use your browser's local storage under the prefix foraris. This data never leaves your device and is not accessible to us. Clearing your browser's site data removes all of it.
Your rights
You have the right to information, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability and objection, and the right to complain to a supervisory authority. Write to info@foraris.com and it will be handled within the statutory period.
