2. Overview

This website is designed to collect as little personal data as possible. All fonts are self-hosted. Google Analytics is used only after your voluntary consent. Without consent, no analytics or marketing tags are loaded and no analytics cookies are set.

3. Server Log Files

When you access this website, the hosting provider automatically collects and stores information in server log files that your browser transmits. This includes:

• IP address (anonymised where possible)
• Date and time of the request
• Requested URL and referrer URL
• Browser type and operating system

This data is used solely for ensuring the security and stability of the website. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in operating a secure website). Log files are automatically deleted after 14 days.

4. Local Storage

This website stores your language preference (English or German) under pixoric-lang and your consent selection under pixoric-consent in your browser's local storage. The consent record contains the selected categories, policy version and time of selection and is renewed after no more than 180 days. This storage is technically necessary to remember and demonstrate your privacy choice and is not used for tracking. You can change your choice at any time through “Cookie settings” in the footer.

5. Email Contact

If you contact us by email, the data you provide (name, email address, message content) will be processed for the purpose of handling your inquiry. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual measures) or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in responding to inquiries). We store correspondence for as long as the business relationship requires and delete it afterwards, unless statutory retention periods apply.

Technical Evaluation Form

When you use the technical evaluation form, the information you enter (name, company, work email, target platform, camera or sensor and development challenge) is transmitted to us and processed to review and respond to your inquiry. Required fields are limited to the information needed to handle the request. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual measures). For abuse prevention, a non-reversible hash derived from the requesting IP address and request timestamps is stored temporarily for no more than 15 minutes. Form contents are not stored on the web server.

6. Consent Management and Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-87M85BSHX9), a web analytics service provided for users in the European Economic Area by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Analytics is loaded only if you consent to the “Analytics” category. We use a basic implementation of Google Consent Mode v2: analytics and advertising storage, advertising user data and ad personalisation are denied by default, and no Google tag is requested before consent.

After consent, Google Analytics processes information about page views, approximate location derived from connection data, device and browser properties, referrer information, scrolling, outbound links, downloads and the use of selected website functions. We additionally measure non-personal conversion events such as opening or successfully submitting the technical evaluation form. Names, email addresses and the contents of form fields are not transmitted to Google Analytics.

Google Analytics may set the first-party cookies _ga and _ga_87M85BSHX9 to distinguish browsers and sessions. We configure their maximum lifetime to 13 months. Detailed event and user data in Analytics is configured for a retention period of 14 months. Legal basis for loading Google Analytics and accessing or storing information on your device is your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and, where applicable, section 25(1) TDDDG.

Google may also process data in the United States. Google uses recognised transfer mechanisms such as the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and Standard Contractual Clauses where applicable. Further information is available in Google's Privacy Policy and the Google Ads Data Processing Terms.

You can refuse consent without disadvantage and withdraw it at any time through “Cookie settings” in the footer. Following withdrawal, further analytics events are blocked and accessible Google Analytics cookies are removed from this website. The lawfulness of processing before withdrawal remains unaffected. Google Ads and additional marketing pixels are not currently active and will not be loaded until they are configured and the “Marketing” category is enabled.

7. ProtoVision Demo Application

This website offers an interactive demo of the ProtoVision software at /demo/. The demo runs entirely in your browser. The following applies when you use the demo:

Camera Access

The demo can optionally access your device's camera to demonstrate real-time image processing. Camera access is only activated after you grant explicit permission via your browser's permission dialog. Video frames are processed exclusively within your browser using a local Service Worker — no video data is transmitted to any server. When you close the demo tab or revoke camera permission, the video stream is immediately terminated. No frames or images are stored unless you explicitly trigger a capture action within the demo.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent via browser permission dialog). You can revoke camera access at any time through your browser settings.

Local Data Storage

The demo stores a single UI preference in your browser's local storage:

• protovision.statusbarStats — display state of the status bar (no personal data)

All other demo data (projects, pipeline configurations, gallery items) is held in temporary memory via a Service Worker and is discarded when you close or reload the tab. No demo data is persisted to disk or transmitted externally.

Service Worker

The demo uses a Service Worker to simulate a local backend. It intercepts network requests to /api/ endpoints and responds with mock data. No actual network connections to external servers are made in demo mode. The Service Worker does not cache personal data.

No External Connections

The demo application loads no external scripts, fonts, or resources. All code runs locally in your browser. There are no analytics, no tracking, and no data transmissions to third parties.

8. Hosting

This website is hosted by IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Straße 57, 56410 Montabaur, Germany. The hosting provider processes server connection data to deliver and secure the website. The use of this hosting provider is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in reliable and secure hosting). Further information is available in the IONOS privacy policy.

9. Your Rights

• Access (Art. 15 GDPR) — you may request information about your stored data
• Rectification (Art. 16 GDPR) — you may request correction of inaccurate data
• Erasure (Art. 17 GDPR) — you may request deletion of your data
• Restriction (Art. 18 GDPR) — you may request restriction of processing
