Privacy Policy

Last updated: 3 July 2026

Who is responsible

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

Arved Klöhn
Onckenstraße 13
12435 Berlin, Germany
Email: contact@bingerator.com

Overview

Bingerator is a non-commercial hobby project, and we collect as little personal data as possible. We do not use tracking cookies, we do not run advertising, and we do not sell or share your data for marketing. This page explains the limited data that is processed when you visit.

Server log files

When you visit the site, our web server, hosted by Hetzner Online GmbH in Germany, may record standard access data such as your IP address, the date and time of the request, the page requested, the referring page, and your browser and operating system. This is used to operate the site securely and reliably, for example to detect and defend against attacks. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in a secure and functional website (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). Log data is kept only as long as necessary for these purposes and is then deleted.

Analytics (Umami)

We use Umami, a privacy-friendly analytics tool that we host ourselves on our own server. Umami works without cookies and does not track you across websites. It records aggregated, anonymous usage statistics such as page views, approximate country, referrer and browser type. It does not store your full IP address and does not build a profile of you. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in understanding, in aggregate, how the site is used (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Images

Poster and episode images shown on the site are served from our own server. We fetch them from The Movie Database (TMDB) once, from our server rather than from your browser, and cache them locally. Your browser therefore does not connect to TMDB, and no data about you is transmitted to TMDB when images are displayed.

Cookies

This website does not set any tracking or advertising cookies.

Contact by email

If you email contact@bingerator.com, your message is delivered through an email forwarding service (ImprovMX) and stored in a mailbox hosted by Google (Gmail). We process the content of your message solely to handle your inquiry. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in responding to your request (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). Some of these providers are based in the United States, which may involve a transfer of data there.

Third parties and international transfers

Our hosting provider, Hetzner Online GmbH, is based in Germany. The only situation in which your data may reach providers outside the EU is email: if you write to us, your message passes through ImprovMX and Google, which operate in the United States. This relies on those providers' own safeguards. We do not otherwise share your personal data, and the site itself makes no requests to third-party servers from your browser.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you have the right to access your personal data, to have it corrected or deleted, to restrict or object to its processing, and to data portability. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at contact@bingerator.com.

Changes

We may update this policy as the site evolves. The date at the top shows when it was last changed.
