Privacy policy

Last updated: 1 October 2026

We built this site to collect as little data as possible. There are no accounts, no advertising trackers and no analytics cookies.

Who is responsible

The operator named in the imprint is responsible for this website.

Hosting

The site is hosted by Cloudflare, Inc. When you visit, Cloudflare processes technical data such as your IP address and browser type to deliver the pages and protect them from attacks (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Cloudflare is certified under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework.

PDF tools and calculators

All processing happens in your browser. Files you open in our PDF tools and numbers you type into calculators are not uploaded to our servers or stored by us. The PDF tools load two open-source program libraries (pdf.js and pdf-lib) from cdnjs.cloudflare.com, operated by Cloudflare; your files are never sent there.

Videos

Guides show a video placeholder. Nothing is loaded from YouTube until you press play. When you do, the video loads from youtube-nocookie.com, operated by Google Ireland Limited, which then receives your IP address and may set cookies according to Google’s privacy policy (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, your consent by pressing play).

Saved progress

When you tick a step as done, your browser remembers it in local storage on your device. We cannot see it. You can clear it at any time in your browser settings.

Fonts

Fonts are served from our own server. No connection is made to Google Fonts.

Your rights

You have the right to access, correct, delete and restrict the processing of your data, to data portability and to object, and the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority. Contact us at hello@howtosimply.com.
