The protection of your personal data is important to me. I process personal data exclusively within the scope of the applicable legal provisions (GDPR). This privacy policy informs you about which data is collected when you visit this website and how it is used.

3. Hosting and server log files

This website is hosted via GitHub Pages, a service of GitHub Inc., 88 Colin P. Kelly Jr. St, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. When you access the website, GitHub automatically collects technical access data (e.g. IP address, date and time of access, page accessed, browser type) required to provide and secure the service. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in the secure and reliable operation of the website). Further information can be found in GitHub's privacy statement.

4. Contact

The contact form on this website opens your own email client; no form data is stored on a server of this website. If you contact me by email or phone, your details (name, contact data, content of the enquiry) are stored by me for the purpose of processing the enquiry and for follow-up questions. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR (pre-contractual measures) or Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The data is deleted once it is no longer required for the purpose and no statutory retention obligations apply.

5. Cookies and consent

This website only uses cookies if you have expressly consented beforehand. On your first visit, a notice appears where you can accept or reject the use of cookies for YouTube embeds. Your choice is stored in your browser (technically necessary, no cookie banner required for this storage itself) and remains in effect until you change it. You can revoke or change your decision at any time via the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer of this website. If you decline, the YouTube videos described below will not be loaded; a preview image will be shown instead.

6. YouTube videos

Videos from YouTube, a service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, are embedded on this website. These videos are only loaded after you have given consent in the cookie notice. Once you consent, a connection to Google's servers is established and, among other things, your IP address is transmitted and cookies are set. If you are logged into your YouTube/Google account, Google may associate your browsing behaviour with your profile. The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR in conjunction with § 25 (1) TDDDG). You can withdraw your consent at any time via the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer. Further information: Google privacy policy.

7. Google Fonts

This website uses fonts ("Google Fonts") provided by Google for consistent presentation. When you access the site, your browser loads the required fonts from Google servers; in doing so, your IP address is transmitted to Google. No cookies are set in doing so. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in a consistent presentation). Further information: Google privacy policy.
