AI Chat Assistant
Our website uses an AI-powered chat assistant to answer your questions. When using the chat widget, the following data is processed:
- Chat inputs: Your messages are transmitted in real-time to the OpenAI API (OpenAI, L.L.C., San Francisco, USA) to generate a response. The data is used exclusively to answer your inquiry and is not used to train AI models. A Data Processing Agreement (DPA) is in place with OpenAI.
- No permanent storage: Chat histories are not stored on our server. The conversation exists only in your browser's temporary session storage (sessionStorage) and is automatically deleted when you close the browser tab.
- Rate limiting: To prevent misuse, a pseudonymized hash of your IP address (MD5) is temporarily stored for a maximum of 2 hours. This does not allow identification of your person.
- Contact details (optional): If you voluntarily provide your name and email address in the chat, these are forwarded to our team via email. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) a GDPR (consent).
- Voice output (ElevenLabs): The chat assistant can read responses aloud. For this purpose, the generated response text is transmitted to the ElevenLabs API (ElevenLabs, Inc., New York, USA) for text-to-speech conversion. No personal data (such as your name or chat input) is transmitted to ElevenLabs — only the generated response text. A Data Processing Agreement (DPA) is in place with ElevenLabs. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) f GDPR.
- AI-generated portrait (DALL-E): When voluntarily providing your name and email address, a personalized pirate portrait is generated via the DALL-E API (OpenAI). Only a generic prompt (pirate character) is transmitted — no personal data such as name, photo, or identifying features. The portrait is delivered by email and is not stored on our server. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) a GDPR (consent).
Legal basis for data processing by the chat assistant: Art. 6 (1) f GDPR (legitimate interest in efficiently answering customer inquiries).
Double Opt-In Procedure
When you provide your email address (e.g., in the chat or for the LLM report), you will receive a confirmation email. Only after clicking the confirmation link will your data be forwarded to us. This procedure ensures that no third party can register with your email address. Unconfirmed data is automatically deleted after 24 hours. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) a GDPR (consent).
LLM Visibility Checker
Our website offers a free LLM Visibility Check. When using this tool, the following data is processed:
- Domain input: The entered domain is checked server-side for technical SEO characteristics (llms.txt, robots.txt, meta tags, Schema.org). Additionally, the domain is sent to the OpenAI API (OpenAI, L.L.C., San Francisco, USA) for an AI-powered visibility analysis. A Data Processing Agreement (DPA) exists with OpenAI.
- IP address: For abuse prevention (rate limiting), a cryptographic hash (SHA-256 with salt) of your IP address is temporarily stored. The original IP address is not stored and cannot be reconstructed from the hash.
- Email address (optional): If you request the full report, your email address is used exclusively for the one-time delivery of the report. Storage only occurs with your explicit consent (checkbox). Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) a GDPR (consent).
- No profiling: No user profiles are created. Analysis data is not linked with other data sources.
- Data minimization: Only data necessary for the analysis is processed. No cookies, no tracking.
Legal basis for the technical analysis: Art. 6 (1) f GDPR (legitimate interest in providing the tool). For email delivery: Art. 6 (1) a GDPR (consent).
AI Transparency Notice (EU AI Act)

- Voice Output: Text-to-speech synthesis via ElevenLabs for optional voice playback of chat responses.
