What Design What Does Not Do
Design What does not run analytics or behavioral tracking, does not use advertising, retargeting or social media tracking pixels, does not follow you from one website to another and does not try to recognize you or your devices through fingerprinting techniques, such as combining browser, screen, font, graphics or hardware characteristics. Design What does not make automated decisions about you and does not create a profile of you.
Technical Data Needed to Deliver designwhat.net
Like virtually every website, the servers that host designwhat.net process the technical information that your browser sends with each request, for example your IP address, the page requested, the date and time and the type of browser and device. This processing delivers pages to you, keeps designwhat.net secure and available and protects designwhat.net against abuse, on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating a secure website. The data is not used to identify you or build a profile of you, is not combined with other data about you and is kept only for as long as these purposes require.
Images and Content from Other Servers
Project images of the furniture and lighting designs shown on Design What, as well as other images, visuals and data, may be loaded directly from external third-party servers, such as content delivery networks. Such third-party services may potentially have their own terms and conditions as well as privacy policies that may apply.
Advertising
To support the work that goes into Design What, advertisements are displayed on designwhat.net, delivered by Massive Outreach Ads Network, the advertising solution provider of Design What. Massive Outreach Ads Network is privacy-first and does not track you, does not collect your personal information and respects your privacy. As a result, advertisements on Design What are not based on profiles of you or of your browsing behavior.
Forms and Third-Party Services
When you use the Design What Submit Design page, the Design What Newsletter page or the Design What Encyclopedia page, you type your details (for example a name, surname and e-mail address, or a search term) into a page of designwhat.net, and Design What then forwards you automatically to the website of the relevant service, passing along what you typed so that you do not have to type it again. Design What uses this information only to forward you and for no other purpose. From the moment you arrive on the destination website, that service processes your information under the privacy notice of that service, which you are encouraged to read. Moreover, each of these sites may have its own, additional terms and conditions.
Links to Other Websites
Design What may potentially link to websites that Design What does not operate, such as websites of designers, brands, partners, institutions and award platforms. The privacy practices and the content of such websites remain the responsibility of the respective website operators.
Children
Design What is a general-audience design publication and is not directed at children. Design What does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone at all, let alone children.
Security
designwhat.net can be accessed through the encrypted https://designwhat.net address, which helps protect the communication between your browser and our servers. designwhat.net may also remain accessible through the unencrypted http protocol, which may offer less protection, so you are encouraged to use the https address.
Design What Publisher
The publisher of Design What (designwhat.net) is identified in our Impressum.
Your Rights
Because Design What does not collect personal information about you, there is normally nothing for us to access, correct, port or delete. If you nevertheless believe that the publisher of Design What holds personal information about you, or if you wish to exercise any right under applicable data protection law (such as the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability and objection, or the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority), you can use the contact details in the Design What Impressum.
