This website is operated as a private, non-commercial portfolio. Even so, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies to any personal data processed when you visit this site, because the site is publicly accessible and processes visitor data through hosting and analytics (see below).
2. Hosting
This website is hosted by Squarespace Ireland Ltd., with its parent company Squarespace, Inc. based in the United States. Personal data may therefore be transferred to and processed in the US. This transfer is based on Squarespace's certification under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and/or EU Standard Contractual Clauses, which provide an adequate level of data protection.
When you visit this website, the hosting provider automatically collects and stores information in server log files, which your browser transmits automatically. This includes:
- IP address
- Browser type and version
- Operating system
- Referrer URL (the page you came from)
- Date and time of the request
This data is processed to ensure the technical operation, security, and stability of the website and is not merged with other data sources. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in a secure and functioning website). Log data is stored only for as long as technically necessary and is deleted automatically thereafter.
3. Cookies and Analytics
This website uses Squarespace Analytics, a first-party analytics tool provided by Squarespace, which uses cookies to collect anonymized/aggregated statistics such as page views, referrer information, and device type. Some of these cookies may involve processing your IP address.
These cookies are not strictly necessary for the website to function and are only set with your consent, which you can give or withdraw at any time via the cookie banner on this website. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR in conjunction with Sec. 25 TDDDG (German Telecommunications-Digital-Services-Data-Protection Act). If you do not consent, no analytics cookies will be set.
4. Video content
This website may include video content hosted directly on Squarespace's own infrastructure (not via third-party platforms such as YouTube or Vimeo). No additional third-party cookies are set by this video content beyond the hosting-related processing described in section 2.
5. Contact
There is no contact form on this website that stores submitted data. If you contact me directly by email or phone, the personal data you provide (e.g. your name, email address, and message) will be processed solely for the purpose of responding to your inquiry. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in responding to inquiries directed at me), or Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where the inquiry relates to a potential contractual or pre-contractual relationship. This data will be deleted once your request has been fully answered and no further storage is required.
6. Your rights
Under the GDPR, you have the right to:
- request access to the personal data I hold about you (Art. 15 GDPR)
- request rectification of inaccurate data (Art. 16 GDPR)
- request erasure of your data (Art. 17 GDPR)
- request restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
- data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
- object to processing based on legitimate interest (Art. 21 GDPR)
- withdraw any consent given at any time, with effect for the future (Art. 7(3) GDPR)
To exercise any of these rights, please contact me using the details in section 1.
7. Right to lodge a complaint
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. The authority responsible for my location is:
Der Hamburgische Beauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit
Ludwig-Erhard-Str. 22, 20459 Hamburg, Germany
8. Changes to this policy
This privacy policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes to the website or legal requirements. The current version always applies.
