As a public service we try to nudge people into activating DNT headers and using tracking-blockers. If we can influence data to external services we opt to not send any. If we have to send data we minimise what is provided, f.e. if the user opts-in to use Stripe for a payment, only the invoice number and the total sum is provided to Stripe and in turn we don't query customer information Stripe gathers for fulfilment (we don't want that data in our databases). ``` Tips for privacy aware browsing In order to block so-called tracking-cookies we suggest that you use DuckDuckGo, both the app, as well as the browser extention. As alternative, or in addition, we can recommend the browser extension Privacy Badger, which also sends Do Not Track signals to each website, if requested (see below). Do Not Track (DNT) policy Our software respects Do Not Track signals sent by your browser and takes care that external services are only connected with explicit permission. This can lead to limited functionality and additional user interactions: Videos don't autoplay, payment providers are not available, registration is not possible, if an external CAPTCHA-service is required as additional security, etc. Permission is given per service, i.e. if you allow one video to play then all videos from that external provider are allowed to play in your current session. ```
