Editorial policy
LeeLink explains life in Germany in clear, practical English.
Every guide follows these standards:
- Important facts are checked against reliable and official sources.
- Complicated German terms and procedures are explained simply.
- Articles are reviewed and updated when information changes.
- Recommendations are written for readers, not advertisers.
- Digital tools may assist with research and drafting, but every article is reviewed and edited before publication.
LeeLink provides general information, not individual legal, tax, financial, immigration or insurance advice.
If you notice an error or outdated information, please contact us.
Advertising policy
LeeLink is free to use. Affiliate commissions help cover the cost of running and improving the website.
Affiliate links
Some articles contain affiliate links. If you click one of these links and purchase a product or service, LeeLink may receive a commission. This normally does not increase the price you pay.
Affiliate links are included only when they are relevant to the article. Affiliate partners cannot purchase positive reviews, approve articles before publication or change our conclusions. Where useful, LeeLink may also mention alternatives that do not pay a commission.
Google AdSense
LeeLink may use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies, IP addresses and similar technologies to serve and measure advertisements. Google’s use of advertising cookies may enable Google and its partners to serve personalised ads based on a visitor’s previous visits to LeeLink or other websites.
Where consent is required, advertising cookies and similar technologies are used only after the visitor has provided consent. Visitors can reject or manage their consent choices through the consent settings provided on the website. Users can manage their advertising preferences through Google’s Ads Settings. More information about how Google processes data is available in Google’s Privacy & Terms information.
Sponsored content
If LeeLink publishes paid or sponsored content, it will be clearly labelled and kept separate from independent editorial information.
Data protection
This policy explains what personal data LeeLink may collect and how it is handled.
The website operator is responsible for data processing. Full contact details are available in the Imprint.
Website hosting
LeeLink is hosted by ALL-INKL.COM – Neue Medien Münnich in Germany.
When you visit the website, the hosting server may automatically record technical information such as:
- IP address
- Date and time of access
- Requested page
- Browser and operating system
- Referring website
- Access status
This information is required to deliver the website, maintain security and investigate technical problems. It is not used by LeeLink to create advertising profiles.
The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Server logs are normally deleted by the hosting provider after seven days unless longer storage is necessary to investigate misuse or a security incident.
More information is available in the ALL-INKL privacy information.
Contact
If you contact LeeLink by email, the information you provide is used to answer your message.
This may include your name, email address, message and any other information you choose to provide.
The data is deleted when it is no longer needed for the conversation unless a legal retention obligation applies. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR or Article 6(1)(b) GDPR when your message concerns a possible agreement or service.
Analytics
LeeLink currently does not use a separate visitor analytics service to track your activity across the website.
External and affiliate links
When you click an external or affiliate link, the external provider may receive technical information and use its own cookies or tracking methods.
LeeLink does not control how external websites process personal data. The privacy policy of the external provider applies after you leave LeeLink.
This policy may be updated when LeeLink introduces new features or services.

Under the GDPR, you may have the right to:
- Request access to your personal data
- Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data
- Request deletion of your personal data
- Request restriction of processing
- Object to certain types of processing
