Privacy Policy

The purpose of this data protection declaration is to inform you, as a user, about the collection of personal data on this website. We therefore consider it important to present all essential information for the protection of your data as transparently as possible. However, if there are any questions or need for clarification, please do not hesitate to contact us.

A. The Data Controller

In the sense of the General Data Protection Regulation (Art. 4 para. 7 GDPR) and the other national data protection laws and data protection provisions, the controller is the service provider named in the Legal Notice.

The Legal Notice contains the controller's postal address, contact details and legal contact points. This contact data is relevant for all data protection questions regarding this website and for all data protection claims on your part.

B. Collection and Storage of Personal Data When You Visit Our Website

In the following, we will inform you about the relevant data protection procedures that take place when you visit our website.

1. Logfiles

When you access our website, our server processes technical request data required to deliver the website. In the server logs, the IP address is stored without date or time and without a reference to individual page views.

The following data is collected here:

  1. Your IP address

Your data is processed for the purpose of delivering our website content, ensuring the functionality of our information technology systems and optimizing our website. Thus, the processing for the protection of our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR, i.e. the performance of our business activities, is necessary.

Since the collection of data for the provision of our website and the storage of data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of our website, you also have no right of objection.

2. Cookies

We use "cookies" on our website. These are small text files that your browser automatically creates and that are stored on your end device when you visit our website. Cookies do not damage your computer system or contain viruses, Trojan horses or other malicious software.

We use cookies to improve our website, for example to make it more user-friendly and to adapt it to user interests. URLsilo also uses technically necessary cookies for login sessions, security checks, proof-of-work flows and interface preferences.

The following data will be stored and transmitted in the cookies:

  1. Language settings
  2. Login information
  3. Frequency of page views
  4. Usage of website functions
  5. Security and session information required to provide the service

The data collected in this way will be pseudonymized as a technical precaution where possible. It is therefore not possible to associate the data with you without additional information. The data will not be stored together with other personal data unless this is technically necessary for secure operation.

The data processed by cookies is required for the purposes stated to safeguard our legitimate interests (the conduct of our business) pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR.

Most browsers accept cookies automatically. To prevent this, however, you can configure your browser so that no cookies are stored on your computer system or so a message appears before a new cookie is created. However, if you disable cookies completely, you may not be able to use all the features of our website.

Each browser may differ in the way it manages cookie settings. This is described in the help menu on each browser, which tells you how to change your cookie settings.

3. URL Reports, Screenshots and Technical Analysis Data

When URLs or domains are submitted to URLsilo, we may store submitted URLs for generated data.

Technical analyses, previews and screenshots are performed only when actively requested by a user. URLsilo does not use the user's login cookies, access credentials or comparable authentication information for these captures and therefore cannot capture content that depends on the user's authenticated session, such as login areas, shopping carts or other personalized account areas.

Generated data may include submitted URLs, resolved or redirected URLs, page metadata, availability and redirect information, DNS, RDAP, IP, ASN, hosting and related technical signals, as well as viewport screenshots where the respective feature is available.

This information is used to provide URL reports and related enrichment features. Processing is based on providing the requested service pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 b) GDPR and on legitimate interests in operating, securing and improving the service pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR.

4. Advertising

This website uses Google AdSense for advertising purposes. Google AdSense is an advertising service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google AdSense may use cookies, device identifiers, pixels and similar technologies to display ads, measure ad performance, prevent fraud and, depending on your consent and settings, personalize advertising.

When Google AdSense is used, information about your use of this website, your IP address, browser and device information, approximate location, ad interactions and cookie or advertising identifiers may be processed by Google. Google may also process this data on servers outside the European Union or the European Economic Area, in particular in the United States. Any such transfer is carried out on the basis of the applicable legal safeguards under Art. 44 et seq. GDPR.

Where consent is required, the storage of or access to information on your device and the related processing of personal data for advertising purposes takes place on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 a) GDPR and the applicable cookie and telecommunications privacy rules. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future through the consent settings provided on this website. Where processing is strictly necessary to provide, secure or measure the advertising service without requiring consent, processing may also be based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR.

You can also manage personalized advertising in Google's ad settings at https://adssettings.google.com/. Further information about Google's processing of data for advertising is available at https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads and in Google's privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
