We take your privacy seriously and process data only as described below. # 1. Who is responsible for data processing? KlarMetrics is a personal educational project based in Switzerland. For questions about data protection, contact us at: [contact@klarmetrics.com](mailto:contact@klarmetrics.com) # 2. What data do we collect and why? # Server logs When you visit this website, your browser automatically transmits certain data that is temporarily stored in server log files: your IP address (anonymized), browser type and version, operating system, the page you visited, date and time of the request, and the referring URL. This data is used solely for technical operation and security, and is deleted after 7 days. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in the secure and stable operation of the website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). # Cookies This website uses technically necessary cookies to ensure basic functionality. No tracking cookies are set without your consent. WordPress sets a session cookie solely to maintain your session; it is deleted when you close your browser. You can configure your browser to block or delete cookies, though some functionality may be impaired. # Google Analytics This website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Analytics uses cookies to analyze how visitors use the site. The data generated (including your anonymized IP address) is transmitted to Google servers in the USA and stored there. We use IP anonymization, which means your IP address is shortened by Google within the EU before transmission. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. You can prevent the collection of your data by Google Analytics by installing the [Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on](https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout). Google processes this data on our behalf under a data processing agreement. More information: [Google Privacy Policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy). The legal basis for this processing is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) where required, or our legitimate interest in understanding how our content is used (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). # Newsletter If you subscribe to our newsletter, we store your email address for the purpose of sending you updates about new articles and content.

We do not share your email address with third parties beyond what is required to deliver the newsletter. # 3.
