Privacy
Personal data is processed only to the extent required for operation, security, contact, booking, supporter status, community functions or legal obligations.
- Contact and message data when you contact us by email or form.

- Purchase and payment status from PayPal to the extent required for membership, access or supporter status.

Payments
Supporter payments are processed through PayPal. Supporters do not receive a separate invoice from Auswandern mit Goetz; PayPal sends the payment confirmation. PayPal subscriptions can be managed or cancelled through PayPal.
Service Providers
External services may be used for delivery, security, advertising, payments, email, community or embedded content, in particular Cloudflare, Google, PayPal, Discourse, YouTube and Facebook. These providers may have their own terms and privacy rules.
Google AdSense and Consent Management
We use Google AdSense, a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, in the right-hand advertising column. AdSense can deliver advertisements and measure their reach, viewability and interaction. Depending on your choice and the rules that apply to you, personalised, non-personalised or limited ads may appear. Auto ads, ads within editorial text, and anchor, vignette or overlay ads are disabled on this website.
For visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, we use Google’s certified Consent Management Platform under IAB TCF 2.3. It asks for your decision before the relevant processing and offers “Consent”, “Do not consent” and “Manage options” on an equal basis. If you do not consent, the website remains usable; where legally and technically permitted, Google may deliver non-personalised or limited ads.
In connection with advertising, Google and the advertising technology providers named in the consent dialogue may process, in particular, your IP address, device and browser information, identifiers, approximate location, ad impressions and interactions, and your consent decision. Cookies, local storage and similar technologies may be used for this purpose. The purposes include ad delivery, reach and performance measurement, fraud prevention, security and – only with the required consent – personalisation.
You can change or withdraw your decision at any time using the “Privacy and cookie settings” link displayed by Google at the bottom of the page. The change applies to future processing. For more information, see Google’s Privacy Policy, Google’s information about advertising and the technologies used, and My Ad Centre.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4, provided by Google Ireland Limited, to analyse page views, usage and technical quality. Google Analytics is loaded only after you agree through “Analytics settings”. Before that choice, this integration sends no Analytics requests to Google. Public editorial pages and the time-limited diagnostic area use separate data streams.
From 17 through 31 July 2026, the diagnostic data stream additionally covers login, account, checkout and community pages after consent. It receives only normalised page types and fixed events such as login result, checkout step or failure class. Exact community topic and profile paths, URL query parameters, fragment identifiers, form content, email addresses, user, order and payment identifiers, error messages and stack traces are not sent to Google Analytics. Administration, partner, trainer and operations areas remain excluded. Automatic enhanced interaction measurement is disabled for the diagnostic data stream.
If you consent, processing may also include shortened technical access data, device and browser information, the approved page path or page type, page title and approximate region. Google Signals and advertising personalisation are disabled. You can change your choice at any time using “Analytics settings”. When consent is withdrawn, accessible Google Analytics cookies for this website are deleted and no further Analytics page views are loaded.
Cloudflare Web Analytics / RUM
Cloudflare Web Analytics measures technical delivery and performance data on delivered pages, including login, account, payment and community pages, in particular page views, loading times and Web Vitals. The measurement is injected at Cloudflare’s network edge, does not access cookies or other browser storage, does not log URL query strings and discards the IP address received during transport at the nearest Cloudflare data centre. It does not use an advertising identifier for this website and is not used to build an advertising profile. More information is available in Cloudflare’s Privacy Policy.
Technical error diagnostics
Through 31 July 2026, the website sends no more than five strictly limited diagnostic events per page view to our Cloudflare Worker when a JavaScript or request failure occurs. These events contain only a normalised page area, release identifier, error class, script file with line and column, or a coarse endpoint, status and duration class. Raw messages, stack traces, form data, cookies, local storage values, email addresses and user, order or payment identifiers are not transmitted. The data is used solely for operation and troubleshooting and is processed in Cloudflare Worker logs with limited retention.
Rights of Data Subjects
Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act, data subjects may in particular request access, have inaccurate data corrected, request deletion or blocking under certain conditions, and lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission.
Privacy enquiries can be sent by email to [email protected].
Complaints and Questions
Please send questions or complaints about the website or supporter payments by email to [email protected]. We review the request and normally reply within 7 calendar days.
