Privacy

Short version: no accounts, and nothing about you is measured unless you say yes. No adverts are shown here at present. Google's ad script still loads on every page, and Google asks you separately about cookies and personalised ads — say no and it uses none.

Who is responsible

The controller for this website, in the sense of Art. 4(7) GDPR:

What happens when you visit

This is a static website: every page is a plain file, prepared in advance and served as it is. There is no login, no account and no comment box. There are three forms. The search box runs entirely inside your browser — what you type is never sent anywhere, never logged, and never leaves your device. The contact form and the report form (the "Report this listing" button on every job) are the only things on this site that send something, and only when you press the button; what they do with it is set out below.

Two things on this site involve other companies — Google, and since 7 October 2026 also Microsoft. Each has its own section below, because they work differently:

• Ads (Google AdSense). Google's ad script is loaded from Google's servers as soon as a page opens, although no advert is shown at present. It shows you Google's own question about ads, and it only uses cookies or personalises ads if you agree there. See Advertising below.
• Counting visits (Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity). Nothing is loaded and nothing is stored until you say yes in the bar at the foot of the page. See Counting visits below.

Apart from those, nothing on any page is loaded from another company's server: the typeface is one already installed on your own device, and no fonts, maps, videos or images are fetched from anyone.

The site is built from a small database of job adverts. It holds job titles, employers, cities and links, collected from employers' public job feeds. It contains no record of visitors at all — not your address, not your visits, not your clicks. It never has.

Our hosting provider records standard server access logs, which is technically unavoidable when serving any website. Those logs contain the requested address, the date and time, your browser type, and your IP address. They exist for security and to keep the server working, on the basis of a legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. They are kept and deleted by the hosting provider under its own retention policy, which does not state a fixed period; we do not read them, analyse them, or connect them to anything.

The hosting provider is Hostinger International Ltd., 61 Lordou Vironos Street, 6023 Larnaca, Cyprus, acting as a processor on our behalf under a data processing agreement. Hostinger does not run every part of its service itself: its published list of sub-processors names Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, Cloudflare and others, and it states that your request may therefore be handled on servers outside the EU or EEA. Hostinger says those transfers are covered by the European Commission's standard contractual clauses. You can read both documents yourself — its data processing addendum and its privacy policy.

This is worth being exact about, because the sentences above are about two different things. What your browser fetches from anyone else: Google's ad script on every page, and Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity only if you agree to them. Where the server physically sits: a different question, answered by the paragraph above.

Advertising

No adverts are shown on this site at present, and it earns nothing. Google's ad script is loaded on every page all the same, because it is the same script that shows you Google's question about ads — so this section describes what the script does, and what would apply to any advert shown through it.

Advertising here is Google AdSense. Google chooses which ads appear; we do not pick them, and no advertiser has any say over which jobs are listed here or what label a job gets. An advert sits in a box marked Advertisements, after the page's own content and never among the job listings.

What happens when a page opens. Your browser fetches Google's ad script from Google's servers (pagead2.googlesyndication.com and related Google addresses). That happens on every page, before you have answered anything, because the same script is what shows you Google's question about ads. In doing so Google receives the technical information any website receives — your IP address, your browser and device type, and the address of the page you are on.

Google's question. The first time you visit, Google shows its own consent box. It is a separate question from our visit-counting bar, and your answer to one does not change the other. It asks whether Google and the advertising partners it lists may store and read cookies on your device and use data about you to choose and measure ads. The box is a Google-certified consent tool that follows the industry's Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF); it lists every partner and purpose, and lets you agree or refuse each of them. Google stores your answer in a cookie on your device so the question is not asked on every page.

If you agree, Google and the partners you accepted may store cookies on your device (for example __gads and __gpi) and may show ads based on your interests and on your activity on other sites. In the words Google asks us to use: third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites, and Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and other sites on the internet.

You can turn personalised advertising off at any time — for Google, in My Ad Center, and for many advertising companies at once at Your Online Choices or aboutads.info. Those settings sit with Google and those companies, not with us, and they work whether or not you ever open this site again.

If you refuse, or do not answer, no ad is personalised. Google may still show non-personalised or "limited" ads. Limited ads, as Google describes them, use no cookies and nothing else stored on your device; they are chosen from the page you are on and your approximate location.

The legal basis. Storing and reading cookies for ads, and personalised ads, rest on your consent: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, and § 25(1) TDDDG for anything stored on your device. Storing your answer itself is necessary to respect it, § 25(2) no. 2 TDDDG. Loading the ad script, showing Google's question and showing any advert that uses no cookies rest on our legitimate interest in running and financing this site, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Google's role. For advertising, Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, decides for itself how it uses this data and is responsible for it as an independent controller, under Google's controller terms. Data may be passed to Google LLC in the United States, on the same basis and with the same caveat as set out under Counting visits below. How Google uses data from sites that show its ads is explained on Google's own page, and you can manage the ads Google shows you in My Ad Center.

Changing your mind. Click Ad privacy choices at the foot of any page. Google's box comes back and you can change any answer. With JavaScript switched off, the ad script does not run at all and no ads are shown.

Counting visits, and only if you say yes

We would like to know roughly how many people find this site, which pages are worth keeping, and where a page is hard to use. To do that we use two tools: Google Analytics 4, loaded through a second Google product called Google Tag Manager, and Microsoft Clarity. None of them starts on its own. One question covers both tools, because they serve the same purpose; a yes switches on both, a no switches on neither. This is a separate question from the ads above, and your answer here does not change anything about the ads.

Nothing happens until you agree. The first time you arrive, a bar at the foot of the page asks. Neither Tag Manager, Analytics nor Clarity is fetched, and none of their cookies are written to your device, while that question is unanswered. Refusing is one click, in the same bar, and it is not made harder than agreeing.

What Tag Manager is, in one paragraph, because it adds a step and you should know it is there. It is a container: your browser fetches it from Google and it then loads whatever measuring tools we have put inside it. Ours holds exactly one: Google Analytics 4, and nothing else — no advertising tags (the ads described above are loaded separately, not through this container), no tracking pixels, nothing belonging to any other company. (Microsoft Clarity is not in this container; it is loaded on its own, after the same yes, and has its own paragraphs below.) If that ever changes, this page says so before it changes, and there is no version of this site where something runs that is not named here.

If you say yes, your browser fetches the container from Google (googletagmanager.com), the container loads Google Analytics, and Google receives: the addresses of the pages you open on this site, when you opened them, the address of the page that sent you here, your browser and device type and screen size, your language setting, and an approximate location worked out from your IP address — country and city, not a street. Google Analytics 4 does not store the IP address itself. Two cookies are stored on your device, named _ga and _ga_G-TER3D2TFR3. They hold a randomly generated number that lets Google tell one browser from another, so that two page views from you are not counted as two people. They last up to two years unless you delete them, which you may do at any time in your browser.

None of it is joined to a name, an email address or anything you have ever typed into this site, because nothing here asks you for those. We have switched off the settings that would let Google connect this to its own advertising profiles or use it for its own products. What we see is counts.

The legal basis is your consent — Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR for the processing, and § 25(1) TDDDG for storing the cookies on your device. There is no other basis behind it, so refusing costs you nothing and changes nothing about the site.

Google. The provider of both Analytics and Tag Manager is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, acting as our processor. Data may be passed on to Google LLC in the United States. Google LLC is certified under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework, which the European Commission has recognised as providing an adequate level of protection, and standard contractual clauses apply in addition. You should know that United States authorities have surveillance powers over data held there which no contract can fully exclude, and that the adequacy decision has been challenged, upheld at first instance, and is now under appeal before the Court of Justice of the European Union. Their privacy policy and their description of how Analytics uses data are theirs to explain.

How long. Event data is kept for two months, which is the shortest period Google Analytics allows, after which it is deleted.

Microsoft Clarity, if you say yes. Clarity shows us where people scroll, click and stop on a page — as heatmaps and as replays of individual visits — so that we can see where a page is confusing or a button is hard to hit. If you say yes, your browser fetches Clarity's script from Microsoft (www.clarity.ms), and Microsoft receives: how you move through our pages (scrolling, clicks, taps, the pages you open and in what order), the layout of the page as you saw it, your browser and device type and screen size, and an approximate location worked out from your IP address. What you type into a box on this site is never sent — Clarity masks every input field and that cannot be switched off. Clarity sees only this site, not what you do elsewhere.

Clarity stores two cookies on this site's own domain, _clck (a random number that tells one browser from another, kept up to a year) and _clsk (which joins the pages of one visit together, kept a day), and Microsoft may set further cookies on its own domain clarity.ms, such as MUID and CLID. We tell Clarity that your yes covers measuring visits only, and that it does not cover advertising.

Microsoft. Clarity is provided by Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited, One Microsoft Place, South County Business Park, Leopardstown, Dublin 18, Ireland. Microsoft states that it acts for Clarity as a controller in its own right. The data is stored in Microsoft's Azure cloud and may be passed to Microsoft Corporation in the United States, which is certified under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework; the caveat about United States authorities in the paragraph on Google above applies here in the same way. Their privacy statement and their description of Clarity's data handling are theirs to explain.

How long, for Clarity. Recordings of visits are kept for 30 days; a small sample, and any we mark, for up to nine months. Heatmaps can be viewed for up to nine months. These are Microsoft's settings, not ours to shorten.

The legal basis for Clarity is the same as for Google Analytics: your consent, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, and § 25(1) TDDDG for anything stored on or read from your device.

Changing your mind, either way. Your answer is remembered in one entry in your browser's local storage, called jwg-analytics, holding nothing but the word yes or no. It stays on your device, is never sent anywhere, and exists only so the question is not asked again on every page. To change your answer, click Cookie settings at the foot of any page: the question comes back, and withdrawing consent also deletes the two Analytics cookies and the two Clarity cookies on this site's domain, and tells Clarity to stop and erase its own. The page reloads when you withdraw — that is deliberate, and it is what guarantees nothing of Google Analytics or Clarity is still running in the page you are standing on. Withdrawal takes effect from that moment; it does not undo counting that already happened.

One further entry can exist, and it switches this site off rather than on. Opening the site at an address ending in ?owner=on stores jwg-owner in your browser's local storage, and from then on that browser loads no ads and is not counted at all. It exists so that the person who runs this site is not counted as one of its visitors and never loads an ad on it. It stays on the device, is never sent anywhere, and ?owner=off removes it. You are welcome to use it too.

If you say no, or if you never answer, or if you have JavaScript switched off: Google Analytics, Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity are not fetched and none of their cookies are stored. The site behaves in exactly the same way. There is no version of this site that you get for agreeing. (The ads above are a separate matter with their own question; with JavaScript switched off, nothing at all is fetched from Google.)

Links to other sites

Every job listing links to the employer's own website. Once you click, you are on their site, under their privacy policy, not ours. We have no visibility into what you do there and receive nothing — no commission, no notification, no data.

Email and the contact form

If you write to us, we keep your message for as long as it takes to answer you and a reasonable period afterwards, so we can follow up. We do not add you to any list, because there is not one. Email reaches us through the mailbox attached to this domain, hosted by the provider named above.

The contact form does one thing: it turns what you typed into an email to that same mailbox. Nothing is written down on this website — there is no database behind the form, no file, no log of what was sent, and no record of your address. Once the email has left, the page has forgotten it, and from there your message is an email like any other, covered by the paragraph above.

Your name and your email address are optional. Without an address there is no way to reply, which is the only thing you lose by leaving it out. The legal basis for handling what you send is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR — our legitimate interest in answering people who write to us, and yours in getting an answer.

The form asks you to leave one field empty and records the moment the page was sent to you. Both are there to tell an automated submission from a person, and neither is kept.

The report form

The "Report this listing" button on every job opens a form that already knows which job it is about: it fills in the job title, employer, city, label and the listing's address from the list this site publishes anyway. You add your email address and a short message, and if you like a reason. Your email address is needed so we can tell you what we did about the report and ask a question if it is unclear.

It works exactly like the contact form: what you send becomes an email to info@jobswithoutgerman.de, with your address as the one we reply to. Nothing is written down on this website — no database, no file, no log, no record of your address — and the same two checks against automated submissions apply and are not kept. From there your report is an email like any other, covered by the section above. A report that leads to a listing being corrected or removed is also noted in our own removal log — the date, the listing, who asked and what we did — which is kept privately and never published, so that we can show what was done and when. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR — our legitimate interest in keeping the listings accurate, and yours in having a wrong one corrected.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you may request access to any personal data we hold about you, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, and data portability, and you may object to processing. Given that we hold almost nothing, most of these will be short conversations. To exercise any of them, email info@jobswithoutgerman.de.

Where processing rests on your consent, you may withdraw it at any time with effect for the future, and withdrawing is as easy as giving it was: Cookie settings (visit counting) and Ad privacy choices (ads), both at the foot of every page. For data Google processes as its own controller for advertising, you can also go to Google directly, through the links in the Advertising section. Where processing rests on our legitimate interest, you may object to it at any time, Art. 21 GDPR. Withdrawing does not make what happened before it unlawful.

You also have the right to complain to a supervisory authority. For this site that is the Bayerisches Landesamt für Datenschutzaufsicht (BayLDA), Promenade 18, 91522 Ansbach (post: Postfach 1349, 91504 Ansbach).

If you are in Switzerland, the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) applies to you alongside the GDPR. It gives you the same rights as the ones set out above, and the same address — info@jobswithoutgerman.de — reaches us. You may also complain to the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC), Feldeggweg 1, 3003 Bern, instead of or as well as the Bavarian authority named above.

Last reviewed 7 October 2026. This version applies while the site loads the Google AdSense script with Google's own consent question — no advert is shown at present — and, behind our own consent question, Google Analytics loaded through a Google Tag Manager container holding that one tag and nothing else, and Microsoft Clarity, with no accounts. If any of that changes — including anything added to that container — this page changes first, in the same sitting, not afterwards.
