How Yawar handles your data, and which cookies we use.
Last updated:
Yawar (yawar.care) is a website with information about aquariums: articles, a water change calculator and a water log for members. This statement explains which data we process, why, and which cookies we use. You will find the controller responsible for the processing under “Contact” at the bottom of this page.
You can read all articles and use the water change calculator without an account. We don’t use analytics or advertising services and don’t track you across other websites. To prevent abuse, such as too many login attempts, the server briefly keeps your IP address in its working memory; it is not stored in a database and disappears by itself.
The fonts, photos and videos on this website are hosted on our own server. Your browser doesn’t connect to third-party services to load them.
Members can keep a water log. For this we process:
We only use your email address for messages about your account: confirming your email address, a welcome email and, if you ask for it, a link to reset your password. We don’t send newsletters or advertising, and we don’t sell your data.
For as long as your account exists. If you ask us to delete your account, we erase your account and your water log. Copies in our backups disappear automatically within fourteen days.
The hosting provider and the email service only process your data on our behalf. We don’t pass your data on to anyone else, unless the law requires us to.
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. Yawar only uses functional cookies that are needed for what you ask for yourself, such as staying logged in. These don’t require consent, which is why we don’t show a cookie banner. We use no analytics, tracking or advertising cookies.
In addition, the water change calculator stores the values you last entered in your browser’s local storage, so you find them again next time. This data stays on your own device and is not sent to us.
You can always delete cookies and local storage in your browser settings. The website keeps working, but your language choice and login will no longer be remembered.
The website only works over a secure connection (https). Passwords are stored encrypted, the number of login attempts is limited and new accounts must confirm their email address.
You have the right to access your data, to have it corrected or erased, to restrict its processing, to object, and to receive your data in a common format. To do so, send an email to the address under “Contact”. We will reply within one month.
If you are not satisfied with how we handle your data, you can lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority in your country, such as the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens in the Netherlands, the Data Protection Authority in Belgium or the CNIL in France.
We may update this statement, for example when we add new features. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last updated. If we ever add cookies that require consent, we will ask for it first.
