Hosting
This website is hosted by Strato AG, Germany. Server log data (such as IP address, browser type, date and time of access) is processed automatically by our hosting provider to ensure the technical operation and security of the website.
Cookies and Consent Management
This website uses a cookie consent tool (Real Cookie Banner) to obtain your consent before any non-essential cookies or third-party services are loaded. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time via the cookie settings link in the website footer.
We only set strictly necessary cookies (e.g. to remember your cookie preference) without requiring separate consent. All other services listed below are only activated after you have given your consent.
Fonts (Google Fonts)
This website uses Google Fonts, loaded from Google’s servers, to display text in a consistent style. When you visit this website, your IP address is transmitted to Google (Google Ireland Limited) for this purpose.

Contact via Email
Buttons such as “Apply Now” and “Become a Partner” open your device’s default email application with a pre-filled recipient address (info@stanceflair.com) and subject line. No data is transmitted to or stored on our server through these buttons — the email is sent directly from your own email account once you choose to send it.
Contact and Application Forms
If you submit a form on this website (e.g. a contact or car application form), the data you enter (such as name, email address, vehicle details) is sent to us via email and/or stored in our WordPress database for the purpose of processing your inquiry. This data is not shared with third parties beyond what is necessary to respond to your request.
Ticketing (Eventfrog)
Ticket sales for StanceFlair are handled by our external ticketing partner, Eventfrog AG (Switzerland/Germany). When you purchase tickets, you leave our website and your data is processed according to Eventfrog’s own privacy policy: https://eventfrog.de/de/datenschutz-sicherheit.html
Google Search Console
We use Google Search Console to monitor and improve our website’s visibility in Google Search results. This service processes aggregated, non-personally identifiable search performance data and does not set cookies on your device.
Social Media Links
Our website contains links to our Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook profiles. These are plain links, not embedded content — clicking them takes you to the respective platform, where that platform’s own privacy policy applies:
Instagram: https://help.instagram.com/519522125107875
YouTube / Google: https://policies.google.com/privacy
Facebook / Meta: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/
Media and Images
If you submit images to us (e.g. as part of a car application), please be aware that images may contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). We recommend removing this data before submitting images if you do not wish to share your location.
Data Retention
We retain personal data (such as form submissions or email correspondence) only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose it was collected for, or as required by German legal retention obligations, after which it is deleted.
Your Rights Under GDPR
Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to:
Request access to the personal data we hold about you
Request correction or deletion of your data
Request restriction of processing, or object to processing
Request data portability
Withdraw consent at any time (without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal)
Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority — in Germany, typically the data protection authority of North Rhine-Westphalia (LDI NRW), as StanceFlair is based in Aachen
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@stanceflair.com.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Some of the third-party services listed above (Google, Meta/Instagram/Facebook) may process data outside the European Union, including in the United States. Where this occurs, these providers rely on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or Standard Contractual Clauses to ensure an adequate level of data protection.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes to our website or legal requirements. The current version always applies.
