Privacy Policy

The party responsible for data processing on this website is named in our Impressum (legal notice). You can find our contact details there.

The following notes give a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit this website. Personal data is any data that can be used to identify you personally. For detailed information on data protection, please refer to the sections below.

This website is hosted on Vercel. When you access this site, the server automatically records access data in so-called server log files. This typically includes: the IP address used, browser type and version, operating system, referrer URL, hostname, time of access, and the amount of data transferred.

This data is processed for the purpose of delivering the website, ensuring stability and security, and resolving technical issues. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest). Log data is generally retained only as long as necessary for these purposes.

We use Plausible Analytics to understand how our website is used. Plausible is privacy-focused: it does not use cookies, does not collect personal data, and does not track users across sites. Data is aggregated and anonymized (e.g. page views, referrer source, device type).

No consent is required under GDPR for this form of analytics, but we disclose it here for transparency. You can learn more at plausible.io.

If you use our contact form, we process the data you provide (e.g. name, email, message) to respond to your enquiry. Emails are sent and processed via Resend. We do not use your data for marketing unless you have given separate consent.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in answering enquiries) or, where applicable, Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual measures). We retain contact form data only as long as needed to handle your request and any follow-up.

FluentOverlay is a desktop application for Windows. All data processed by the application (e.g. shortcut packs, themes, settings) is stored and processed only on your device. We do not collect telemetry, crash reports, or analytics from the app. No data is sent to Fluent Studio or to third parties.

If you install or update FluentOverlay via the Microsoft Store, the Store’s own privacy policy applies to that process; we do not receive personal data from the Store beyond what is necessary for the transaction (e.g. purchase receipt).

We do not use tracking or advertising cookies. Our analytics (Plausible) is cookie-free.

We may use local storage (e.g. in your browser) to store preferences such as theme (light/dark mode) or language. This data stays on your device and is not sent to our servers.

Under the GDPR you have the right to: access your personal data (Art. 15); have inaccurate data rectified (Art. 16); request erasure (Art. 17); request restriction of processing (Art. 18); data portability (Art. 20); and to object to processing based on legitimate interests (Art. 21). If we process your data on the basis of consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

To exercise these rights, please contact us using the details in the Impressum.

We process personal data only where we have a legal basis: consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), performance of a contract or pre-contractual steps (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR), compliance with a legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR), or our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) where they are not overridden by your interests or fundamental rights.

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the EU member state of your residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement, if you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR.
