Privacy policy

During the preview this website collects no personal data for its own purposes, sets no analytics or advertising cookies, and loads no external content.

In short: during the preview this website collects no personal data for its own purposes, sets no analytics or advertising cookies, and requires no registration. All calculators run entirely in your browser — your inputs and the results never leave your device. The final privacy policy will be published before the official launch.

Controller

This website is a free information service about German traffic fines, points and deadlines. The controller within the meaning of art. 4(7) and art. 13(1)(a) GDPR is the person or company operating it. During the preview the site has not yet officially launched; the controller's full identity — name, service address and any register details — will be published before launch and will then match the imprint. For any data-protection question the controller can be reached at [email protected].

Controller / service address: to be published before launch (identical to the imprint).

Under § 38 BDSG (the German Federal Data Protection Act) a data protection officer must be appointed only in defined circumstances — for instance above a certain number of people continuously engaged in processing, or where extensive special-category processing takes place. For a small, statically served calculator without such processing, an appointment is likely not required. Should that assessment change in actual operation, a data protection officer will be named here with contact details.

What data is processed

No sign-up is needed to use the calculators. Your inputs — the charged excess speed, the established ‰ reading, your register entries, the amount imposed, the service and finality dates — are processed solely locally in your browser. They are not transmitted to a server, not sent to us, and not stored. That is not a promise about a setting; it follows from how the site is built: the legal tables are shipped with the page and the calculation happens on your device. The site has no endpoint that could receive an input, and no contact form.

As with the operation of any website, the hosting provider acting as a processor (art. 28 GDPR) may temporarily process technical connection data in server logs — typically a truncated IP address, the browser type, the operating system, the page requested and the time of access. That processing is necessary for secure, stable and attack-resistant operation. Log data is not used to identify individual visitors and is not combined with other sources.

Retention period for server logs: the specific retention period at the hosting provider will be added before launch (art. 13(2)(a) GDPR); it follows what is necessary for secure operation.

Purpose and legal basis

Processing is governed by the GDPR and the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). For the individual operations:

Operation and security (server logs) — the legal basis is the legitimate interest in a functioning, secure and stable service under art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Calculations in the tools — no processing by us takes place: your inputs never leave your device.
Analytics and advertising (only after launch, see below) — the legal basis would be exclusively your consent under art. 6(1)(a) GDPR together with § 25 TDDDG. It is voluntary and can be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future (art. 7(3) GDPR).

Cookies before and after launch

During the current preview the website sets no analytics or advertising cookies and loads no trackers — regardless of where you visit from, because neither analytics nor advertising is integrated. The only thing stored is a small, technically necessary entry in your browser's local storage recording whether you dismissed the notice about the other available language; it is not a cookie, carries no identifier, and nothing is transmitted to us.

Which cookies would be used after launch, and how to manage or withdraw consent, is described in the cookie policy. You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings at any time.

Analytics and advertising (if used in future)

After the official launch, the intention is to measure reach with an analytics service and to fund free operation through advertising. Both would be provided by third parties and could process data such as a truncated IP address, device identifiers and details of the content requested; that may involve a transfer to a third country, whose basis — for instance an adequacy decision or standard contractual clauses — will be named specifically when it actually happens. Those services are not currently integrated: this site's configuration carries neither an analytics id nor an advertising id. For visitors from the EU, the EEA, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, analytics and advertising cookies would be activated only after your consent. Refusing has no effect on the calculators. As soon as such services are actually used, this policy will be extended with providers, purposes, recipients, retention and third-country transfers.

No automated decision-making

No decision based solely on automated processing — including profiling — that produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you takes place (art. 22 GDPR). The calculators place your case against published tables and deadlines; they make no decisions about you and do not replace an official or judicial decision.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you have, in particular, the following rights against the controller:

Access (art. 15 GDPR) — to learn whether and which personal data concerning you is processed.
Rectification (art. 16 GDPR) — to have inaccurate data corrected.
Erasure (art. 17 GDPR) — to request deletion of your data.
Restriction (art. 18 GDPR) — to have processing restricted.
Portability (art. 20 GDPR) — to receive your data in a common, machine-readable format.
Objection (art. 21 GDPR) — to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to processing based on legitimate interest.

Where you have consented, you may withdraw that consent at any time with effect for the future (art. 7(3) GDPR), without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out until then. Because we collect no data that directly identifies you, our processing is narrow in practice. There is no obligation to provide data: the calculators work without registration and without mandatory fields (art. 13(2)(e) GDPR).

Please do not send us notices or case numbers

Do not send us fine notices, hearing forms, case numbers, registration plates, licence details or photographs — not even as attachments. A German fine notice contains personal data and a case reference; we need neither and do not want to store either. For a placement, the fields in the calculator are enough, and for feedback the situation in your own words is enough. The same request appears on the contact page.

Right to lodge a complaint

Without prejudice to any other remedy, art. 77 GDPR gives you the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you consider that the processing of your data infringes data protection law — in particular with an authority in the member state of your residence, your place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. In Germany data protection is a matter for the federal states; the competent authority is the one for the state in which the controller is established.

Competent supervisory authority: the competent state data protection authority will be named here with its address before launch.

Changes to this policy

This policy applies to the preview and will be completed before the official launch — in particular once analytics or advertising services are actually used, or once the controller's identity and the competent authority are settled. The version published on this page is the one that applies. Last updated: aug 2026.
