2. Overview of data processing

This website is a static, personal website and blog. It is designed to collect as little personal data as possible. Specifically:

  • No analytics or tracking tools are used (no Google Analytics, no Matomo, no similar services)
  • No cookies are set by this website
  • All fonts are self-hosted — no requests are made to Google Fonts or other external font services
  • No third-party content (videos, maps, widgets) is embedded on this website. External services are only linked to, not embedded.
  • No contact forms are used. Contact is possible via email only.

3. Hosting and server log files

This website is hosted by an external hosting provider. When you visit this website, the hosting provider may automatically collect and store information in server log files that your browser transmits. This may include:

  • Your IP address
  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • Referrer URL (the page you visited before)
  • Date and time of the request

This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest). The hosting provider needs this data to ensure the technical operation and security of the website. This data is not combined with other data sources. Server log files are typically deleted automatically after a limited period (usually 7–30 days, depending on the hosting provider).

4. External links

This website contains links to external websites (including X/Twitter, LinkedIn, GitHub, and YouTube). When you click on an external link, you leave this website. I have no control over the content or privacy practices of external websites. Please refer to the respective privacy policies of those services:

No data is transferred to these services by merely visiting this website. Data transfer only occurs when you actively click on a link and visit the external service.

5. Contact via email

If you contact me via email, your message and the personal data you provide (name, email address, content of the message) will be stored for the purpose of processing your inquiry. This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (pre-contractual measures) or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest in processing correspondence).

Your data will not be shared with third parties. Email correspondence is retained for as long as necessary to address your inquiry, or until you request its deletion.
