Privacy Policy

This English version is provided for convenience only; the German version is legally binding.

Information pursuant to Art. 13 / 14 GDPR · as of September 2026

Note: This is a demo website with fictitious details. This privacy policy is a placeholder and will be replaced by a legally reviewed version for a real client project.

1. Controller

Café Mustermann, owner Max Mustermann, Marktplatz 1, 12345 Musterstadt, Germany.
Email: info@cafe-mustermann.example

2. General

We take the protection of your personal data seriously and treat it confidentially in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations (GDPR) and this privacy policy.

3. Hosting and server log files

When you visit this website, the hosting provider (Cloudflare Pages) automatically stores technical access data transmitted by your browser in server log files (e.g. browser type, date and time of access, IP address in shortened form). This data is used solely for the technical provision and security of the website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) and is not combined with other data sources.

4. Visitor statistics without cookies

We count how often our pages are visited ourselves – without an external analytics service. Only aggregated counters per day and page are stored: how often a page was viewed, how many visits came from outside and from which website (its name only, e.g. google.com). Your IP address and browser identifier are not stored for this – the browser identifier is only checked at the moment of the visit to filter out search engines and other automated requests. No cookies are set for this and no visitor profiles are created; it is not possible to identify you. We also count how often our forms are submitted and whether delivery succeeded – without the details you entered.

The counters are kept in a database of our hosting provider Cloudflare and are not passed on to third parties. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in designing our website to meet demand). As nothing is stored on or read from your device for this purpose, no consent under § 25(1) TDDDG is required.

5. Fonts

To display the website, fonts are loaded from Google Fonts. In the process your IP address is transmitted to Google servers (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). In a real client project the fonts are served locally, so no connection to third parties is made.

6. Reservation and contact form

If you send us a request via the reservation or contact form, your details (name, phone number or email address, reservation details, message) are processed in order to handle the request (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). They are delivered to our team as a message via the messaging service Telegram (Telegram Messenger Inc.); in the process the details you entered are transmitted to Telegram. We do not pass these data on to third parties without your consent.

Reservation requests (name, phone number, date, time, number of guests, note) are also stored in our reservation management so that we can confirm the request and plan the day (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). The data are kept in a database of our hosting provider Cloudflare and are deleted automatically 30 days after the reservation date; for monthly comparisons only anonymous daily figures (number, guests, tables) are kept.

7. Messaging services for internal maintenance

Our team uses Telegram and the WhatsApp Business Platform (Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd.) to maintain the menu and blog posts. Only messages from authorised staff are processed; there is no communication with website visitors via these services. Submitted texts and photos are processed automatically via the Anthropic (Claude) interface; no data of website visitors are transmitted.
