2. General Information

Personal data is any information that can identify you directly or indirectly. This policy explains what data may be processed when you visit this website or contact us by email.

This website is a static portfolio website. In its current configuration, it does not use a contact form, advertising pixels, or marketing tracking scripts. It does use Netlify Web Analytics for aggregated traffic measurement.

3. Hosting

This website is hosted by Netlify. The provider is Netlify, Inc., 2325 3rd Street, Suite 296, San Francisco, California 94107, USA.

When this website is delivered, technical connection data may be processed by the hosting provider in order to provide the site securely and reliably. This may include, for example, IP address, requested URL, date and time of access, browser and operating system information, referrer URL, and similar server log data.

The processing is carried out for the purpose of providing the website, ensuring stability and security, and defending against misuse. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR (legitimate interests in the secure and reliable operation of the website).

Further information is available in Netlify's privacy policy: netlify.com/privacy.

4. Netlify Web Analytics

This website uses Netlify Web Analytics, a server-side analytics service provided by Netlify. According to Netlify, this analytics product works from server and CDN log data rather than client-side tracking scripts and is designed to operate without cookies.

The purpose of this processing is to understand aggregate website usage, such as pageviews, unique visitors, bandwidth usage, top pages, and related traffic patterns, so the website can be evaluated and improved.

The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR (legitimate interests in measuring and improving the performance and usefulness of the website). Further information is available in Netlify's documentation and privacy information: How Web Analytics works and netlify.com/privacy.

5. Adobe Fonts

This website uses Adobe Fonts to display typography consistently across devices. The provider is Adobe Systems Software Ireland Limited, 4-6 Riverwalk, Citywest Business Campus, Dublin 24, Ireland. Adobe may involve affiliated entities, including Adobe Inc., USA, in providing the service.

When a page loads, your browser establishes a connection to Adobe servers in order to load the required fonts. According to Adobe's information for Adobe Fonts on websites, Adobe does not set or use cookies to serve these fonts. Adobe may, however, receive technical information required to deliver the font files, such as the hostname of the page requesting the fonts and the requesting IP address.

The legal basis for using Adobe Fonts is Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR (legitimate interests in a consistent and technically reliable presentation of the website). Further information is available in Adobe's privacy information for Adobe Fonts: adobe.com/privacy/policies/adobe-fonts.html.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

In its current configuration, this website does not intentionally use advertising cookies or similar technologies for marketing. Website traffic measurement is currently carried out through Netlify Web Analytics as described above.

The site also does not currently use browser storage such as localStorage or sessionStorage for tracking purposes.

If the technical setup of the website changes in the future, for example through the addition of analytics, embedded third-party media, maps, or marketing tools, this policy will be updated accordingly.

7. Contact by Email

If you contact us by email, your message and the related personal data you provide (for example your name, email address, and the content of your message) will be processed for the purpose of handling your request.

The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR if your request relates to pre-contractual measures or an existing contractual relationship. In all other cases, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest in responding to inquiries).

We do not pass this data on to third parties unless this is necessary to process the request or we are legally obliged to do so.

8. Storage Duration

Personal data is stored only for as long as necessary for the respective purpose or for as long as statutory retention obligations require.

Server and access log retention is determined by the hosting provider's operational and legal requirements. Email inquiries are retained only as long as necessary to process the communication and any resulting business relationship, unless legal retention obligations apply.

9. Recipients and International Transfers

Personal data may be processed by service providers involved in operating this website, in particular Netlify for hosting and analytics, and Adobe for font delivery.

Because these services may involve processing outside the European Union or European Economic Area, especially in the United States, international data transfers cannot be ruled out. For details on how these providers handle data and international transfers, please refer to their respective privacy policies linked above.

10. Your Rights

Under applicable data protection law, you may have the right to access your personal data, request rectification or deletion, request restriction of processing, object to processing, and receive data portability where the legal requirements are met.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent supervisory authority.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy if the website, its technical setup, or the legal requirements change. The current version published on this page applies.
