Privacy Policy
Data protection notice pursuant to Art. 13/14 GDPR (EU Regulation 2016/679) and the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG)
1. Controller
The controller responsible for data processing on this website within the meaning of the GDPR is:
Westover Labs UG (haftungsbeschränkt)Lützowstraße 111
10785 Berlin, Germany
Represented by the managing director: James Wesley Westover
Commercial Register: Amtsgericht Charlottenburg, HRB 284781 B

2. Overview of processing
This is a static marketing website. It does not use analytics, tracking pixels, advertising cookies, or third-party marketing scripts. No account creation, checkout, or user-generated content is collected through this site. The only processing that occurs is (a) hosting/delivery via our content-delivery provider, and (b) the personal data you volunteer if you contact us directly (e.g. by email).
3. Hosting
This website is hosted and delivered via Cloudflare Pages / Cloudflare's global content-delivery network (Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA, with EU data-processing arrangements). Cloudflare processes standard connection metadata (e.g. IP address, request timestamp, user agent) as a data processor, to the extent technically necessary to deliver the site and protect it against abuse, on the basis of our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) in operating a secure and reliable website. Cloudflare's own privacy policy governs this processing to the extent it acts as an independent controller for security/network purposes.
4. Server log files
Our hosting infrastructure automatically collects and stores information in server log files that your browser transmits automatically, including:
- Browser type and version
- Operating system used
- Referrer URL
- Hostname of the accessing device
- Time of the server request
- IP address (truncated/anonymized where technically supported)
This data is not combined with other data sources. Legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR — our legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and security of our website. This data is retained only as long as necessary for these purposes and is then deleted or anonymized.
5. Contact by email
If you contact us by email, the personal data you provide (name, email address, message content) is stored by us for the purpose of processing your inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. Legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual measures / performance of a contract) or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in responding to inquiries), depending on the context of your message. We do not share this data with third parties without your consent, except where required by law.
6. Cookies
This website does not set first-party marketing or analytics cookies. Our hosting provider may set strictly necessary technical cookies required to deliver the site securely (e.g. bot-mitigation / load-balancing). These fall under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in secure operation) and, where applicable under German law, §25(2) TTDSG (technically necessary).
7. Your rights as a data subject
Under the GDPR, you have the right to:
- Request access to the personal data we hold about you (Art. 15 GDPR)
- Request rectification of inaccurate data (Art. 16 GDPR)
- Request erasure of your data (Art. 17 GDPR)
- Request restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
- Object to processing (Art. 21 GDPR)
- Request data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
- Withdraw consent at any time, where processing is based on consent (Art. 7(3) GDPR)
- Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. The supervisory authority responsible for us is the Berlin Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (Berliner Beauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit, BlnBDI).
8. International data transfers
Where our hosting provider processes data outside the European Economic Area, such transfers are governed by an adequacy decision or appropriate safeguards (e.g. Standard Contractual Clauses under Art. 46 GDPR), as provided in our hosting provider's data processing terms.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes to our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. The current version is always available at this URL.
