Privacy Policy

1. Privacy at a glance

General information

The following notes provide a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit this website. Personal data is any data with which you can be personally identified.

Data collection on this website

Who is responsible for data collection on this site?
Processing is carried out by the site operator. Contact details are listed in the legal notice (Imprint) on this website.

How do we collect your data?
Some data is collected when you provide it to us, for example data you enter in a contact form.

Other data is collected automatically when you visit the website through our IT systems. This is mainly technical data (e.g. web browser, operating system, or time of page access).

2. Cookies, local storage, and consent

This site distinguishes between features that are strictly necessary to operate the site and optional analytics (reach measurement). Google Analytics 4 is implemented via the Google tag (gtag.js) with Google Consent Mode: measurement is only enabled after you consent in the cookie banner. Vercel Analytics is only loaded after you consent. The legal basis for analytics is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR (consent).

Your choice is stored in the browser's localStorage so you are not asked on every visit. You may withdraw consent at any time with future effect using “Cookie settings” in the footer; the banner will then appear again.

3. Hosting

This website is hosted by:

Vercel

Provider: Vercel Inc., 340 S Lemon Ave #4133, Walnut, CA 91789, USA (“Vercel”).

When you visit this site, Vercel may collect various log files including IP addresses. Details: https://vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy

Unless a more specific storage period is stated in this privacy policy, your personal data remains with me until the purpose for processing no longer applies.

Contact form

If you send requests via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, are stored for the purpose of processing the request and for any follow-up questions.

This data is not merged with other data sources.

6. Plugins and tools

Google Analytics 4

This website may use Google Analytics 4 (GA4), a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (parent: Google LLC, USA). GA4 helps me understand how the site is used (e.g. page views, usage patterns). Cookies or similar technologies may be used; pseudonymous usage profiles may be created. Data transfers to the USA cannot be ruled out; Google relies among other things on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and/or appropriate safeguards under the GDPR.

Important: Without consent in the cookie banner, this site does not send usage measurement data to Google via GA4 (Consent Mode: analytics_storage denied). The Google tag may be present in the browser so the service can be detected; analytics only starts after you consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR).

More information: Google Privacy Policy, How Google uses data from sites that use its services.

Vercel Analytics

This website may use Vercel Analytics, an analytics service from the hosting provider Vercel. It is only used after your consent in the cookie banner (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). Anonymized usage data (e.g. page views) may be processed. Details: Vercel privacy policy

Fonts (Lato)

The Lato font (SIL Open Font License) is bundled via Next.js and served from the same server as the website. No separate request is made to an external font CDN when the page loads.

7. External media

Sanity CMS

I use Sanity as a content management system. Images are delivered via the Sanity CDN; data may be transmitted to Sanity Inc.
