Privacy Policy

Last updated: December, 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how I collect, use, and protect personal data when you visit my website or interact with me. I take the protection of your personal information seriously and handle all data in accordance with applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

1. Controller

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

[Your Name]
[Your Business Address]
Email: [your email]

2. Data Collection and Purpose of Processing

a) Server Log Files

When you visit this website, the hosting provider automatically collects and stores information in server log files. This may include IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referrer URL, date and time of access, and accessed pages. This data is processed to ensure the website’s functionality, security, and stability. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest).

b) Contact Form & Email Communication

If you contact me via the contact form or by email, I collect the information you provide (e.g., name, email address, message content) to respond to your inquiry. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual measures) or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in answering inquiries).

c) Cookies

This website may use cookies or similar technologies to ensure technical functionality or improve user experience. Essential cookies are stored based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If non-essential cookies are used, they will only be set with your consent according to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

d) Analytics, Third-Party Services & Embedded Content

This website may integrate third-party services such as analytics tools, embedded videos, fonts, maps, or other external content. When these services load, they may collect data such as IP addresses and device information.

Such processing occurs based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (your consent) or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in providing an optimal website), depending on the service and configuration. If required, data may be transferred to countries outside the EU; this occurs only when lawful safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) are in place.

3. Legal Basis for Processing

Personal data is processed based on:

  • Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR – your consent
  • Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR – performance of a contract or pre-contractual steps
  • Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR – legitimate interests, such as operating a secure and functional website

 

4. Data Storage and Deletion

Personal data is stored only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described above or as required by law. Data from inquiries is deleted once processing is complete, unless statutory retention requirements apply.

5. Data Sharing

I do not sell or share personal data for marketing purposes. Data may be shared with technical service providers (e.g., hosting providers), third-party integrations used on the website, or legal authorities if legally required. All processors act based on data processing agreements where mandated by GDPR.

6. Your Rights Under GDPR

You have the right to:

  • Access your personal data (Art. 15 GDPR)
  • Rectify inaccurate data (Art. 16 GDPR)
  • Erase your data (Art. 17 GDPR)
  • Restrict processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
  • Object to processing based on legitimate interests (Art. 21 GDPR)
  • Withdraw consent at any time (Art. 7(3) GDPR)
  • Data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)

 

To exercise these rights, please contact me using the contact details provided above.

7. Right to Lodge a Complaint

If you believe your data has been processed unlawfully, you may file a complaint with your local data protection authority. In Germany, the competent authority is the supervisory authority of your federal state.

8. Security

I take appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, loss, alteration, or misuse. Despite these measures, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect legal changes or modifications to my website or services. The current version will always be published on this page.
