3. Hosting (Vercel)
This website is hosted and delivered via the platform provider Vercel Inc., 340 S Lemon Ave #4133, Walnut, CA 91789, USA (“Vercel”).
When you access the website, Vercel may process technical access data on our behalf, in particular your IP address, date and time of the request, the requested resource, as well as browser, device, and system information, along with security- and diagnostics-related data.
This processing serves the secure, stable, and efficient delivery of the website. The legal basis is our legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
As Vercel is based in the United States, processing outside the European Economic Area (EEA) cannot be ruled out. For such transfers, Vercel relies on the standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission and a corresponding data processing agreement.

5. Cookies and Local Storage

Only one technically necessary entry is stored on your device to remember a setting you actively choose:
- vegan-vienna-lang (cookie) — stores your selected display language (English or German) so the site is shown in your preferred language on future visits. It contains only the language value, no personal data, and has a lifetime of up to 12 months.
You can delete this cookie at any time via your browser settings.
6. Analytics (Vercel Web Analytics)
For aggregated audience measurement, this website uses Vercel Web Analytics, a privacy-friendly analytics service provided by Vercel Inc.
According to Vercel, Web Analytics does not use cookies and stores analytics data in anonymized, aggregated form. It does not track visitors across websites and does not create individual user profiles. The purpose is to understand overall page usage and improve the content and structure of the website.
The legal basis is our legitimate interest in a needs-based and privacy-preserving analysis of website usage under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Further information is available at https://vercel.com/docs/analytics/privacy-policy.
7. Maps (OpenStreetMap)
The map pages of this website display an interactive map based on OpenStreetMap. When you open a map, map tiles are loaded from the servers of the OpenStreetMap Foundation, St John’s Innovation Centre, Cowley Road, Cambridge, CB4 0WS, United Kingdom.
In this process, your IP address is transmitted to those servers, as it is technically required to deliver the map tiles. This only happens on pages that contain a map. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in displaying location information under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Further information: https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Privacy_Policy.
