Privacy Policy

This page explains what happens to your data when you visit micropowercore.com and when you order a board directly on this website. The German legal notice is on the Impressum page.

1. Controller

Yulia Zolotareva (MicroPowerCore), Max-Reger-Str. 2, 82049 Pullach im Isartal, Germany, hello@micropowercore.com.

2. No cookies, no tracking

This website sets no cookies for visitors, stores nothing on your device, uses no analytics service, no advertising trackers and embeds no third-party content — the fonts are served from our own server. No consent under § 25 TDDDG is therefore required. A technically necessary session cookie is set only when you use a form on this site — the direct order form or the online withdrawal form — and on the password-protected administration pages; it protects the form against forged requests and expires after 30 minutes.

3. Server logs

When you open a page, the web server records technically necessary data: IP address, date and time, the address requested, the amount of data transferred, the status code, the referring page and the browser identifier. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in the secure and reliable operation of the site (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). The logs are not merged with other data, are not used to observe individual visitors and are deleted automatically after 35 days. Aggregate visit statistics are produced from these logs with IP addresses anonymised beforehand; clicks on the links to Lectronz and Tindie (/go/…) are counted in the same way, without personal data.

4. Orders placed directly on this website

Payment is handled by Stripe. When you order, you enter your name, delivery address, email address and payment details on Stripe's checkout page, not on our server. Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd., 1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Dublin 2, Ireland, processes the payment and is responsible for the card data under its own privacy policy.

We receive the order data (name, delivery address, email address, the boards ordered and the amount paid) in our Stripe account and use it exclusively to fulfil your order and to meet commercial and tax record-keeping obligations (Art. 6 (1) (b) and (c) GDPR). We keep no customer database of our own: the data stays in Stripe for as long as commercial and tax law require. It is passed on only to the carrier (Deutsche Post / DHL) for delivery and to authorities where the law requires it. Our own application logs contain the order reference, the product, quantity, country and amount, but no name, address or email.

5. Orders placed on Lectronz or Tindie

For marketplace orders the marketplace is the first point of contact and its privacy policy applies. We receive from the marketplace the data needed to ship your parcel and use it only for that purpose and for the record-keeping obligations described above.

6. Email

If you write to us, we keep your message for as long as the conversation and any statutory retention period require (Art. 6 (1) (b) and (f) GDPR).

Emails that this website sends itself — the acknowledgement of an online withdrawal statement and the copy sent to us — are delivered through Amazon Simple Email Service, operated by Amazon Web Services EMEA SARL, 38 avenue John F. Kennedy, L-1855 Luxembourg, from the AWS region in Stockholm, Sweden. AWS processes the recipient address and the message content solely to deliver the email, on our behalf and under the AWS GDPR Data Processing Addendum (Art. 28 GDPR). Delivery logs at AWS are kept for a short technical period only.

7. Your rights

You have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing and data portability, the right to object, and the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. Write to hello@micropowercore.com.

8. Changes

We update this policy when the way the site works changes — for example if a newsletter or another payment method is added. The current version is always this page.
