Privacy policy
This site is built to process as little personal data as technically possible. There are no cookies, no analytics scripts, no tracking pixels and no embedded third-party content. Fonts and all assets are served from this site's own domain. That is also why there is no cookie banner — there is nothing to consent to.
Hosting / server logs
The site is hosted as static files on Netlify (Netlify, Inc., San Francisco, USA; EU data processing addendum in place). Like every web server, Netlify processes technical connection data (IP address, requested URL, user agent, timestamp) to deliver the pages and keep the service secure. We do not access or store these logs beyond Netlify's standard retention. Legal basis: legitimate interest in operating the website securely (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Outbound links
Pages link to external sites (government portals, insurance providers). Some insurance links are affiliate links — when you click one, the destination site may set its own cookies and attribute your visit to us. This happens on the provider's site under the provider's privacy policy; nothing is tracked while you are on living-abroad.org. See also our affiliate disclosure.
If you write to us, we process your email address and message content to answer you, and delete the correspondence when it is no longer needed.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection, plus the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. Since we hold essentially no personal data about visitors, most requests will be answered with "we have nothing stored about you". Contact for all privacy matters: hello@living-abroad.org — the responsible controller is listed in the imprint.
