Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 2026

The German version (Datenschutzerklärung) is the legally binding one; this is a translation.

This privacy policy explains how personal data is processed when you visit the website gibberly.app. It covers this website only, not the Gibberly translation service itself. For the hosted translation service, data protection information is provided when a service is agreed.

1. Controller

Christopher Coles
Wiesentalstr. 61
70771 Leinfelden-Echterdingen
Germany
Email: info@gibberly.app

No data protection officer has been appointed, as none is required.

2. Hosting (Cloudflare Pages)

This website is hosted on Cloudflare Pages (Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA). When you visit the site, Cloudflare processes your IP address and request data (server logs) to deliver the site and protect it against abuse.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in a secure and reliable website). Transfers to the USA rely on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (Cloudflare is certified) and standard contractual clauses.

3. No cookies, no analytics, no tracking

This website sets no cookies and uses no analytics or tracking services. Fonts are hosted on the site itself; no request is made to Google.

4. Contact form and newsletter signup

Through the contact form (the "get started" enquiry) you send your name, email address, church or organisation, country, message and language. When you sign up for the newsletter you send your email address and language. The data is received by the service Web3Forms (web3forms.com), which forwards it to me by email. Web3Forms may process data outside the EU. More information: https://web3forms.com/privacy. Pages with a form load a script from web3forms.com.

The legal basis for enquiries is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual steps at your request). The legal basis for the newsletter signup is your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; you can withdraw it at any time with effect for the future by emailing info@gibberly.app.

Retention: enquiries are kept as long as needed to answer them, and for any resulting contract and statutory retention periods. The newsletter address is kept until you unsubscribe.

5. hCaptcha

The forms use hCaptcha (Intuition Machines, Inc., USA) for spam protection. hCaptcha processes your IP address, browser and interaction data. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in protection against abuse and spam). hCaptcha is loaded only on pages with a form. More information: https://www.hcaptcha.com/privacy.

6. Links to GitHub

Links to GitHub are plain links with no embedded content. Data is transferred only if you follow a link, and GitHub's privacy policy then applies.

7. Your rights

You have the right to:

  • access your stored data (Art. 15 GDPR),
  • rectification of inaccurate data (Art. 16 GDPR),
  • erasure (Art. 17 GDPR),
  • restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR),
  • data portability (Art. 20 GDPR),
  • object to processing based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (Art. 21 GDPR),
  • withdraw consent given, with effect for the future (Art. 7(3) GDPR).

To exercise them, contact info@gibberly.app.

8. Right to lodge a complaint

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. The competent authority is:

Der Landesbeauftragte für den Datenschutz und die Informationsfreiheit Baden-Württemberg (LfDI BW)
Lautenschlagerstraße 20
70173 Stuttgart
Germany
