Privacy policy

This site is operated by Vincent Schilling as a private, non-commercial project at https://taize.vincentschill.ing. Contact: taize@vincentschill.ing.

• No cookies, no tracking, no analytics.
• If you create a custom routine, we store the routine template and a random private token that identifies you. We do not store your IP address, email, or any personal identifiers.
• If you give explicit consent, we store your free-text reflections. These are special-category data under GDPR Art. 9 (religious belief). We only process them on the basis of your explicit consent (Art. 9(2)(a)).
• For abuse prevention we record a short-lived rate-limit counter per IP address (deleted after one hour).

You are identified only by the random token in your URL. If you lose the link, we cannot recover your routine or answers. Treat it like a password: save it securely; do not share it.

If you do not open your private link for one year, we automatically delete your user record and all associated answers. You can delete everything at any time from inside your routine.

You have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or export your data, and to withdraw consent at any time. Because the private link is the only way to identify you, please include it when contacting us.

• YouTube embeds — Taizé song audio is streamed from YouTube. YouTube may set its own cookies once you start playback; see YouTube's privacy policy.
