Privacy Policy

Hosting

This website is hosted by Vercel Inc., 440 N Barranca Ave #4133, Covina, CA 91723, USA. When you access this website, your browser automatically transmits certain technical data to Vercel’s servers, including your IP address (anonymized where possible), date and time, the requested URL, referrer URL, browser type, and operating system.

This processing is necessary for the technical delivery of the website and is based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Data may be transferred to the United States; Vercel participates in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. See Vercel’s Privacy Policy.

Web Analytics

We use Vercel Web Analytics, a privacy-focused analytics service that does not use cookies and does not collect or store personal data. It does not track individual users across sessions or websites. Only aggregated, non-personal data is collected: page views, referrer information, country-level geography (from anonymized IP), and device type.

No IP addresses are stored. No user profiles are created. No data is shared with advertisers. Legal basis: Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Since no cookies are used, consent under the ePrivacy Directive (TDDDG) is not required. See Vercel Analytics Privacy Policy.

Cookies

This website does not set any cookies — neither first-party nor third-party. No tracking, advertising, or session cookies are used. No cookie consent banner is required under the ePrivacy Directive or the German TDDDG.

Newsletter Subscription

If you subscribe to our update notifications, we use a double opt-in process: you receive a confirmation email and your subscription is only activated after you click the confirmation link. We store your email address (encrypted at rest), confirmation status, and signup metadata solely for sending information about new releases, features, and supported sequencing devices. Legal basis: Article 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent). You can unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link in our emails or by contacting us at the email addresses above, which will result in the immediate deletion of your email address.

External Links

This website contains links to external websites (manufacturer pages, GitHub, etc.). When you follow these links, you leave our website and are subject to the privacy policies of the respective providers. Device images on this site are AI-generated illustrations stored locally — no external image services are used.

Server Log Files

Vercel may temporarily store server log files for security and error resolution purposes. Logs are automatically deleted after a short retention period and are not merged with other data. Legal basis: Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
