When you visit the site, technical data (e.g. IP address, time of request, browser type) may be processed to deliver and secure the website.

The site is hosted on Vercel Inc. (USA). Vercel processes access data as a processor; depending on configuration, EU data centres may be used. See Vercel’s privacy policy.

We use cookies that are technically necessary for the site to function. Optional categories (e.g. functional, analytics) are only set if you consent via the cookie banner. Legal basis for necessary cookies: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

6. Embedded services

On the Ulpan Next project page we embed a registration form from Jotform Inc. (USA) in an iframe. If you use that form, personal data is processed by Jotform under their terms.

We do not use external trackers such as Google Analytics unless you allow optional analytics cookies in the cookie settings.
