What Who Design Does Not Do
Who Design does not run analytics, session recording 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. Who Design does not make automated decisions about you and does not create a profile of you.
Technical Data Needed to Deliver whodesign.org
Like virtually every website, the servers that host whodesign.org 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. This processing delivers pages to you, keeps whodesign.org secure and available and protects whodesign.org against abuse, on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating a secure and reliable website. The data is not used to identify or profile 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 footwear designs shown on Who Design, as well as other images, visuals and data, may be loaded directly from external third-party servers, such as content delivery networks. These third-party services may have their own terms and conditions as well as privacy policies that may apply.
Advertising
To support the work that goes into Who Design, advertisements are displayed on whodesign.org, delivered by Massive Outreach Ads Network, the advertising solution provider of Who Design. 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 Who Design are not based on profiles of you or of your browsing behavior.
Forms and Third-Party Services
When you use the Who Design Submit Design page, the Who Design Newsletter page or the Who Design Encyclopedia page, you type your details (for example a name, surname and e-mail address, or a search term) into a page of whodesign.org, and Who Design 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. Who Design 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 strongly encouraged to read. Moreover, each of these sites may have its own, additional terms and conditions.
Links to Other Websites
Who Design may potentially link to websites that Who Design does not operate, such as websites of designers, brands, partners and award platforms. The privacy practices and the content of such websites remain the responsibility of the respective website operators.
Children
Who Design is a general-audience design publication and is not directed at children. Who Design does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, let alone children.
Security
whodesign.org can be accessed through the encrypted https://whodesign.org address, which helps protect the communication between your browser and our servers. whodesign.org may also remain accessible through the unencrypted http protocol, which may offer less protection, so you are encouraged to use the https address.
Who Design Publisher
The publisher of Who Design (whodesign.org) is identified in our Impressum.
Your Rights
Because Who Design 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 Who Design holds or processes 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 Who Design Impressum. For information processed by third parties that you reach through links or forms, please contact those third parties directly.
