Survey responses are anonymous

Your answers to the survey questions are stored without any personal data. They are not linked to your prize draw details at any time — technically, survey responses and prize draw entries are kept in separate data sets with no connection between them.

Prize draw data

If you choose to enter the prize draw, we process your first and last name, email address and country of residence exclusively for conducting the prize draw, determining and notifying the winners, and shipping the prizes (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR). To prevent abuse — in particular multiple entries — processing is also based on our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

For shipping, the necessary data (name, delivery address) is shared with the cooperation partners providing the prizes and with shipping service providers, only to the extent necessary. Survey responses are never shared with any third party.

Retention and deletion

All personal data collected for the prize draw will be completely deleted no later than 31 January 2027, unless a longer retention period is required by law.

Hosting

This website is hosted on Vercel; data is stored in a database located in the EU (Frankfurt am Main, Germany). Server log data (e.g. IP addresses) is processed to operate the site securely and is not used for profiling. No tracking or marketing cookies are used. The admin area uses a technically required session cookie only.

Your rights

You have the right to access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16 GDPR), erasure (Art. 17 GDPR), restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR), data portability (Art. 20 GDPR), objection (Art. 21 GDPR) and to file a complaint with a supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR).

Full details can be found in the terms and conditions (Sections 7 and 8).
