MR FIVE is an open social experiment.

The website displays aggregated public statistics such as the number of participants, countries and followers.

We do not sell personal data.

The website and API are operated by make IT GmbH using a reseller hosting account with DM Solutions.

When you visit the website, technical access data may be processed to deliver the site, maintain security and operate the service.

This may include IP address, time of access, requested URL, browser information and technical log data.

The legal basis is our legitimate interest in providing a secure and functional website.

MR FIVE uses a lightweight visitor heartbeat to measure whether visitors are currently active on the website.

For this purpose, a random visitor session identifier may be stored in your browser.

We may process approximate country information, device type, browser type and timestamps.

The statistics are used only in aggregated form for the public experiment and internal monitoring.

The legal basis is our legitimate interest in measuring and operating the experiment.

If you participate by giving €5, the payment is processed by Stripe.

Stripe collects and processes the payment information required to complete the transaction.

After a successful payment, Stripe provides us with information such as payment status, amount, currency, country, email address and technical payment identifiers.

We use this information to record the participation, display aggregated experiment statistics and prevent duplicate processing.

The legal basis is the performance of the participation process and our legitimate interest in operating the experiment correctly.

If you choose to follow the experiment by email, we process your email address for that purpose.

Email updates are handled through Brevo.

We use a double opt-in process where required: you receive a confirmation email and only become an email follower after confirming your subscription.

If your email address is already confirmed as a follower, a later payment may be linked to that existing follower status without sending another confirmation email.

The legal basis for email updates is your consent.

You can unsubscribe from email updates at any time.

Some payment and transaction data may need to be retained for accounting, tax, fraud prevention or legal compliance purposes.

The legal basis is compliance with legal obligations and our legitimate interest in documenting transactions.

Visitor heartbeat data is kept only as long as needed for live and aggregated experiment statistics.

Payment-related records are retained as long as required for accounting, legal and fraud prevention purposes.

Newsletter data is retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion, unless legal retention obligations apply.

We use external service providers where necessary to operate MR FIVE.

These include hosting services, Stripe for payments and Brevo for email updates.

Service providers may process personal data only for the purposes described here and according to applicable data protection requirements.

Some service providers may process data outside the European Economic Area.

Where this happens, appropriate safeguards are used according to applicable data protection law.

You have the right to request access to your personal data.

You may request correction, deletion or restriction of processing where legally applicable.

You may object to processing based on legitimate interests.

You may withdraw consent for email updates at any time with future effect.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent data protection authority.
