Privacy policy

Last updated: 1 July 2026

This policy explains what happens to data when you visit benlang.ai, why, and the choices you have. I keep data collection to a minimum, I do not build visitor profiles, and optional analytics run only if you allow them.

1. Who is responsible

The controller for this website is Ben Lang, Lohamei Galipli 19, Tel Aviv, Israel. You can reach me by email at ben@benlang.ai.

If you have any question about your data, email me and I will answer directly.

2. Hosting and server logs

The site is hosted on Vercel (Vercel Inc., United States). When you load a page, the server automatically processes technical data such as your IP address, browser and device type, the page requested and the time of the request. This is needed to deliver the site and keep it secure.

Legal basis: my legitimate interest in operating a secure, working website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Because Vercel is based in the United States, this involves a transfer to a third country, covered by the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

3. Optional analytics and session replay

I use PostHog (PostHog, EU Cloud, data sent to eu.i.posthog.com) to understand how the site is used. These run only after you allow them in the privacy banner. If you decline, no analytics of your browsing and no session replay are collected. A single anonymous signal recording that you declined is sent so I can measure how many visitors decline; it contains nothing that identifies you and no further tracking follows.

When you allow analytics, I collect page views, clicks, navigation paths and basic device and browser information, plus a country-level location. I do not build visitor profiles: profiles are switched off, your full IP address and precise location are not stored, and no attempt is made to identify you.

Session replay is a separate, optional choice on top of analytics. When enabled, it records masked interactions (clicks, scrolling, page movement) so I can find bugs. Text and form inputs are masked. You can allow analytics without session replay.

Legal basis: your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and the equivalent storage-consent rule). You can withdraw your consent at any time, with effect for the future.

4. Contact and the free preview request

If you use the contact details or the preview-request form, you send me information such as your name or business name, your website, your email address and your message. I use it only to answer you and, if you want, to build the free website preview you asked for.

Messages reach me by email, delivered through Resend (Resend, United States, covered by the Standard Contractual Clauses), and are stored in my mailbox. Legal basis: taking steps at your request and my legitimate interest in replying (Art. 6(1)(b) and (f) GDPR).

5. Cookies and local storage

Strictly necessary storage is used to remember your choices. Optional analytics storage is set only after you allow it.

  • Your privacy choice, stored in your browser's local storage so the banner does not ask again (necessary).
  • Your language preference, stored in a small cookie (necessary/functional).
  • PostHog analytics storage, set only after you allow optional analytics.

6. Who receives data

I work with a small number of processors who handle data on my behalf under a data-processing agreement: Vercel (hosting), PostHog (optional analytics, EU endpoint) and Resend (email delivery). I do not sell your data or share it for advertising.

7. How long data is kept

Server logs are kept only briefly for security and troubleshooting. Analytics data is kept according to the PostHog project settings and only for as long as it is useful for improving the site. Emails are kept for as long as needed to handle your request and any follow-up.

8. Your rights

Under the GDPR you have the right to access your data, to have it corrected or deleted, to restrict or object to processing, and to data portability. Where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw that consent at any time without affecting what happened before.

You also have the right to complain to a supervisory authority, for example the Austrian Data Protection Authority (Datenschutzbehörde) or the authority in your country of residence.

9. Changing or withdrawing consent

You can change or withdraw your analytics and session-replay choice at any time using the "Privacy settings" button at the bottom-left of any page.

10. Changes to this policy

I may update this policy if the site or the tools it uses change. The date at the top shows the current version.
