Privacy Policy

This policy explains which personal data is processed when you use themodhunter.com. We count visits with our own cookieless statistics tool (Umami) on our own server, without passing data to third parties. Ads are delivered by Google AdSense according to the choice you make in the consent dialog, videos from YouTube and TikTok load only after you click play, and all fonts are hosted on our own server.

2. Hosting and server log files

This website is hosted by Hetzner Online GmbH, Industriestr. 25, 91710 Gunzenhausen, Germany, on servers in Germany. Each time a page is requested, the server automatically processes data sent by your browser: IP address, date and time, requested page, referrer URL, browser type and operating system. This is technically necessary to deliver the website and to keep it secure (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Log files are deleted after 14 days at the latest, unless they are needed to investigate a security incident. We have concluded a data processing agreement with the hosting provider (Art. 28 GDPR).

3. Visitor statistics (Umami)

To see which pages are read and how visitors find us, we use Umami, an open-source statistics tool that runs on our own server at Hetzner Online GmbH in Germany (stats.themodhunter.com). Umami sets no cookies and stores nothing on your device. When a page loads, a small script sends the page address, the referring page, your browser, operating system, device type, screen size and language, and the country derived from your IP address. Umami does not store your IP address; it combines it with your browser data into an anonymous identifier so that pages viewed during one visit can be counted together. We cannot identify you from these statistics, and they are not passed on to third parties. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in understanding and improving our website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Because nothing is stored on or read from your device, no consent under Section 25 TDDDG is required. You can object at any time by blocking the script stats.themodhunter.com/script.js in your browser or with a content blocker.

4. Contacting us by email

If you email us, we process your email address, your name if provided and the content of your message in order to answer your request (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your request relates to a contract, otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Our mail server runs on our own server at Hetzner Online GmbH in Germany. Incoming messages are also forwarded to our mailbox at Proton AG, Geneva, Switzerland; the European Commission has recognised Switzerland as providing an adequate level of data protection (Art. 45 GDPR). We delete messages once they are no longer needed, unless statutory retention obligations apply.

5. Fonts

All fonts are served from our own server. No connection to Google Fonts or any other font provider is made when you load a page.

6. Local storage (theme)

If you switch between light and dark mode with the button at the top right, we store your choice in your browser’s local storage (key tmh-theme). This is strictly necessary to provide the function you requested (Section 25(2) no. 2 TDDDG). No data is sent to us.

7. Consent management and advertising (Google AdSense)

This website is financed by ads from Google AdSense, a service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”).

Consent dialog: On your first visit from the EEA, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, Google shows a consent dialog (Google’s consent management platform, certified under the IAB Transparency & Consent Framework). There you decide whether and for which purposes Google and its advertising partners may use cookies and similar technologies and process personal data, for example for personalised ads, ad measurement or fraud prevention. You can consent, refuse or manage your options in detail. Your choice is stored in a cookie.

What is processed: IP address, device and browser information, pages visited, cookie and advertising IDs, and interactions with ads. Without your consent, Google delivers only limited, non-personalised ads where available.

8. TikTok videos (two-click solution)

Some article pages embed videos from our TikTok channel. When the page loads, only a preview image from our own server is shown. The TikTok player of TikTok Technology Limited, 10 Earlsfort Terrace, Dublin, D02 T380, Ireland, is loaded only when you click play. From that moment, TikTok receives your IP address as well as device and usage data and may set cookies. The legal basis is your consent given by clicking (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, Section 25(1) TDDDG). Details: TikTok privacy policy.

9. YouTube videos (two-click solution, privacy-enhanced mode)

Article pages embed the landscape version of our videos from YouTube, a service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. When the page loads, only a preview image from our own server is shown and no connection to YouTube is made. The player is loaded in privacy-enhanced mode via youtube-nocookie.com only when you click play. From that moment, Google receives your IP address as well as device and usage data and may use cookies or similar technologies. The legal basis is your consent given by clicking (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, Section 25(1) TDDDG). Google may transfer data to the USA; Google LLC is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (Art. 45 GDPR). Details: Google’s privacy policy.

10. External links and affiliate links

Download buttons lead to the official pages of the respective providers (for example CurseForge, Modrinth, GitHub). You leave our website only when you click, and from then on the privacy policy of that provider applies.

Some pages contain affiliate links. They are always marked as “Ad · Partner links” and “Affiliate links”. If you click such a link and then buy something, we receive a commission from the provider; the price stays the same for you. The link takes you to the provider’s website or to its tracking service. Only there, not on our website, cookies or similar technologies may be set or read to attribute your purchase to us, and the provider’s privacy policy applies. We only receive aggregated reports (clicks, sales, commissions) and no data that identifies you. Our current partners are:

You can withdraw any consent at any time with effect for the future (Art. 7(3) GDPR).
