Privacy policy

Draft – will be reviewed by a lawyer before the paid offer launches.

1. Controller

WE SUCCESS Consulting GmbH, represented by Andreas Pelzner (Managing Director)
Wachaustr. 11, 70469 Stuttgart
Email: info@we-success.de

We have not appointed a data protection officer; we are not legally obliged to do so (Section 38 BDSG).

2. Principles

We process personal data only to the extent necessary to operate this website and to produce the reports you request. We do not sell data, we do not advertise, we do not use analytics tools and we do not create user profiles.

3. Accessing the website

The website runs on the WE SUCCESS Consulting GmbH's own infrastructure in Germany. It is reachable from the internet via the network of Cloudflare (Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St., San Francisco, CA 94107, USA). Cloudflare accepts the encrypted connection from your browser and forwards it encrypted to our server. In doing so, Cloudflare processes your IP address, date and time, the address accessed, technical browser details and the content you send to us. Cloudflare may process data in the USA; the transfer relies on the EU Commission's adequacy decision on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, under which Cloudflare is certified, and additionally on standard contractual clauses.

Our own server logs the date and time, the page accessed and the status code in order to find errors and prevent misuse. We delete these logs after no more than 14 days. To limit requests (protection against bulk requests) we use the IP address in working memory for no more than one hour; together with a request we store it only in pseudonymised form as a check value with a secret key, and we delete this together with the request.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; our legitimate interest is secure, stable operation protected against misuse.

4. Free test report

If you request a test report, we process

  • the description of what you are looking to buy and your answers to the follow-up questions (e.g. budget, number of cabins, sailing plans),
  • your e-mail address,
  • the language selected and the time and version of the usage notes you have accepted.

The purpose is to select suitable boats, prepare a pre-purchase review and send it to you by e-mail. We store the consent data so that we can demonstrate which notes applied to your report. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of the service you have requested). Without an e-mail address we cannot send you a report; all other details are voluntary but improve the selection.

You confirm your e-mail address via a link (double opt-in) so that nobody can enter someone else's address. We delete unconfirmed requests after 48 hours, and all other requests together with the e-mail address, the report produced and the verification log after 30 days. To prevent multiple tests, within these 30 days we use a pseudonymised check value of your address to verify whether a test has already been created. We do not send you advertising.

Please do not enter names, addresses, telephone numbers or information about your health in the free-text field – we do not need them to select a boat.

5. Sending e-mails

We send confirmation and report e-mails via our mail server at Host Europe GmbH, Cologne in Germany, which acts for us as a processor under Art. 28 GDPR. Our e-mails contain no tracking pixels and no tracking links.

6. AI service providers

So that we can ask suitable follow-up questions, convert what you are looking to buy into a search profile and formulate the accompanying text of the e-mail, we transmit the text of your purchase request, your answers and the facts of the selected boats to Anthropic (Anthropic PBC, 548 Market St., San Francisco, CA 94104, USA). We do not transmit your e-mail address or other contact details. Anthropic processes the data as a processor under Art. 28 GDPR; the transfer to the USA relies on the EU Commission's standard contractual clauses, which form part of Anthropic's data processing agreement. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

To translate our website and report texts into other languages we also use DeepSeek (Hangzhou DeepSeek Artificial Intelligence Co., Ltd., People's Republic of China). DeepSeek receives only fixed texts of the website and details of boats from public listings – no details from your request and no data relating to you.

Selection, ranking, costs and risks are calculated by our assessment according to fixed rules, not by the language model. There is no automated decision that produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you (Art. 22 GDPR).

7. Cookies, browser storage and external content

We do not use cookies or any analytics or tracking tools. We deliver fonts, images and scripts ourselves; no third-party content is loaded. Your browser temporarily stores your entries in the questionnaire locally (session storage) until you close the window; this is strictly necessary for the questionnaire you have requested (Section 25(2) No. 2 TDDDG). Links to portals and listings lead to external pages, to which their own data protection notices apply.

8. Recipients

Personal data is received only by the service providers named above (Cloudflare, Host Europe, Anthropic), in each case for the purpose described. There is no transfer to sellers, brokers, portals or shipyards.

9. Your rights

You have the right to access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18) and data portability (Art. 20). A message to info@we-success.de is sufficient.

Right to object: You may object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to processing based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (Section 3) (Art. 21 GDPR).

You may also lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, in particular in the country where you reside. The authority responsible for us is Der Landesbeauftragte für den Datenschutz und die Informationsfreiheit Baden-Württemberg, Lautenschlagerstraße 20, 70173 Stuttgart.

10. Changes

We will update this statement if our services, our service providers or the legal situation change. The version published here at the relevant time applies.
