You have the right to withdraw from this contract within fourteen days without giving any reason. The withdrawal period is fourteen days from the day of contract conclusion.
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (Patrick Wahler, bitekenny.com, Alpenstraße 66b, 82194 Gröbenzell / Munich, Germany) by means of a clear statement (e.g., a letter sent by post or email) of your decision to withdraw from this contract.

Our extension does not respond to "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals. However, since we do not use tracking technologies and only use local browser storage, a specific DNT implementation is not required.
If you want to avoid tracking in general, you can activate the DNT function in your browser settings. However, this has no impact on the functionality of our extension.
Our extension does not perform automated decision-making within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR. No profiles are created that automatically lead to legal consequences for you or similarly significantly affect you.
The only automated processes concern:
Our extension may contain links to other websites that are not operated by us. If you click on a link to a third-party website, you will be redirected to that website.
We strongly advise you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of third-party websites or services.
