2. Hosting and Server Log Files
This website is hosted by Netlify (Netlify, Inc.). When you visit this site, technically necessary log data may be processed, for example IP address, date and time of the request, requested resource, referrer, browser information, and operating system.
Legal basis: Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in secure and stable website operation).
Netlify acts as a processor for hosting. Data processing may also take place outside the EU/EEA. In such cases, transfers are typically based on appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses.
3. Contact Requests
If you contact me by email or via the contact form on this website, the data you provide (name, email address, message) will be processed to handle your request.
Legal basis: Article 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual communication) and/or Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (general communication).
4. External Links and Platforms
This website contains links to external services (for example GitHub, LinkedIn, and project demos). When you click those links, you leave this website. The respective operators are responsible for data processing on their own websites.
5. Analytics
This website uses Umami, a privacy-focused analytics tool. Umami does not use cookies, does not collect personal data, and does not track visitors across websites. No IP addresses are stored. All data is aggregated and anonymous.
Legal basis: Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in understanding general website usage). Because Umami is cookieless and collects no personal data, no consent is required.
6. Cookies
This website does not use non-essential cookies. No cookie consent banner is needed because no tracking or advertising cookies are placed.
7. Data Retention
Personal data is stored only for as long as required for the stated purpose. Server log data is generally retained for a short technical period by the hosting provider. Communication data is retained only for as long as needed to process your request and, where applicable, fulfill legal retention obligations.
8. Your Rights
Under the GDPR, you have the right to access (Art. 15), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20), and objection (Art. 21).
If processing is based on consent, you can withdraw consent at any time with effect for the future.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR).
9. Updates to this Privacy Policy
I may update this privacy policy when needed so it remains aligned with current legal requirements.
