Medium. Vorleser does not require login or installation, and might collect personal data through contact forms. It also gathers data automatically during websites visits such as browser type and IP address. The purpose of collecting this data is primarily to ensure the proper functioning of the website by statistically analysing user behavior in an anonymized and aggregated form. For that, it might be shared with third parties. Importantly, it also refers to third-party services such as Google Analytics and Google AdSense, which may collect additional data for their analytics and advertising services. Vorleser emphasises treating personal data confidentially and following legal data protection requirements. It acknowledges users’ rights to request information about their stored personal data, together with the correction, blocking, or deletion of this data. Vorleser does not explicitly state compliance with the GDPR. See more here.
