Privacy Policy

Updated October 20, 2026. This English edition of tschirwa.de is intended for readers in the United States. For privacy questions or requests, contact info@tschirwa.de.

Information used to deliver this site

Your browser sends an IP address, requested file, request time and technical browser information to the hosting service. This information supports page delivery, troubleshooting and security. Hosting and other technical service providers receive the information needed for their tasks. There are no accounts, contact forms, analytics scripts or advertising trackers in this version.

Email and retention

If you email us, we use your sender address, message and information you choose to include to respond. The operator and email service providers involved handle that correspondence. Technical log retention depends on security and operating needs and actual server settings; a fixed hosting deletion period has not been confirmed here. Messages are retained as needed to handle the matter, maintain necessary records and meet applicable retention obligations. Contact us about a particular request.

Language lookup

Opening / without a saved manual language preference makes a browser request to https://ipwho.is/?fields=success,country_code. IPWHOIS receives your IP address and connection information. The country code selects German for Germany, Austria and Switzerland, and English otherwise. Failure or a five-second timeout leads to English. Direct /en/ and /de/ links do not trigger this lookup. A saved manual choice takes priority.

IPWHOIS describes possible processing in different countries and purpose-based retention in its privacy information. Hosting and email processing locations depend on the services used and have not been confirmed in this version. No particular processing location or international-transfer safeguard is represented here.

Cookies and local storage

This site currently sets no cookies itself. A manual language preference is stored in your browser under tschirwa-language until you change it or clear website data. The English edition has no consent popup or cookie-settings control, and does not create or read an affiliate-consent record.

If you also visit the German edition, that edition may store its choice under tschirwa-consent, with a timestamp and a 180-day validity period. It is managed in the German edition and does not activate tracking in English pages. Clearing site data in your browser removes these local records. The current site has no affiliate links or affiliate-tracking service. Any future addition requires updated disclosures and applicable privacy choices before use.

Search, external sites and requests

Search and filtering run in the browser. Search terms, category and page are reflected in the URL and browser history, and loading such an address may send them in a server request. Images are hosted with the site. Following a source or retailer link connects you to another website with its own information practices.

You may email us to ask about your information or request access, correction or deletion. Available rights depend on applicable law and the circumstances; we may need to verify a request and retain information where required. We do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising in the current version. This policy does not claim that every state privacy statute applies to this website.
