2. Overview

This website uses no analytics or tracking tools and no advertising. Personal data is processed only where needed to run the website or to answer your requests.

3. Hosting and server log files

This website runs on a server of Hetzner Online GmbH, Industriestr. 25, 91710 Gunzenhausen, Germany, in a data center in Germany. A data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR is in place with Hetzner.

When you open the website, the web server automatically processes data sent by your browser: IP address, date and time of access, requested page, referrer URL, browser type and operating system. This is technically required to deliver the website and keep it secure. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The data is processed only for the duration of the connection. Access logs containing IP addresses are not stored.

4. Cookies

When you change the language or first visit the website, the cookie i18n_locale is set. It only stores the selected language (for example "en") and expires after 365 days. It is strictly necessary for the language selection you request (§ 25(2) no. 2 TDDDG, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). No other cookies are set.

5. Fonts

The fonts (Space Grotesk, Inter) are loaded directly from this server. No connection to Google or other third parties is made.

6. Contact by email

If you send me an email, I process your email address and the content of your message to answer your request. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for requests about a contract. The data is deleted once the request is settled and no statutory retention obligations apply.

7. Links to external profiles

This website contains plain links to external profiles such as LinkedIn. No plugins are embedded. Data is only sent to the provider once you click the link. From then on, their privacy policy applies.

8. Your rights

You have the right at any time to:

  • access your stored data (Art. 15 GDPR)
  • rectification of inaccurate data (Art. 16 GDPR)
  • erasure (Art. 17 GDPR)
  • restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
  • data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
  • object to processing (Art. 21 GDPR)

To exercise these rights, write to the email address above. You can also lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. The competent authority is the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of North Rhine-Westphalia (LDI NRW).
