GDPR Compliance Update - Added complete section on privacy-first analytics
Changes:
- Updated Section 6 of privacy policy with detailed Umami Analytics information
- Documented what data is collected (page views, referrers, browser, device, country)
- Documented what is NOT collected (IP addresses, personal info, cookies, precise location)
- Added Do Not Track (DNT) support documentation
- Provided opt-out instructions (browser console method, DNT setting)
- Explained cookie-free tracking and EU data storage
- Updated last modified date to October 29, 2025
- Created DeepL translation script for privacy.json
- Translated all new content to German (DE) and French (FR)
Rationale:
- GDPR requires disclosure of all data collection practices
- Umami was deployed in previous session but privacy policy not updated
- This is a mandatory compliance requirement before further work
Testing:
- Verified English HTML updates render correctly
- Confirmed German translation quality (Analytik und Rückverfolgung)
- Validated French translations via DeepL Pro API
- All i18n keys properly mapped
Files Modified:
- public/privacy.html (Section 6 expanded from 13 to 84 lines)
- public/locales/en/privacy.json (added comprehensive section_6 object)
- public/locales/de/privacy.json (DeepL translated section_6)

CRITICAL FIX: Section 9 incorrectly stated data "may be transferred to and
processed in New Zealand" - this is factually incorrect. Data is hosted in
the EU (OVHCloud France, MongoDB Atlas Frankfurt) and NEVER transferred to NZ.
Changes:
- Section 9: Complete rewrite for accuracy
* Clarified: NZ administration vs. EU hosting
* Added explicit hosting providers and regions
* Confirmed NO data transfer to New Zealand
* Expanded GDPR compliance details (Articles 5, 6, 15-22, 25, 32)
- Section 4: Updated retention periods to match GDPR page (7 years donations,
14 months analytics anonymization)
- Section 7: Enhanced security specifications (TLS 1.3, AES-256, bcrypt)
- Section 3: Clarified MongoDB hosting is in EU
Translations:
- German (DE): 99/99 professional translations via DeepL ✓
- French (FR): 99/99 professional translations via DeepL ✓
This correction strengthens GDPR compliance messaging and provides accurate
transparency about data residency.
