2. What Data We Collect

Contact Form

When you use the contact form on our website, we collect your name, email address, and the message you submit. This data is used solely to respond to your inquiry and is not stored beyond what is necessary for that purpose. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual communication) or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in responding to inquiries).

Server Log Files

Our web server automatically logs access requests. These logs include your IP address, browser type, referrer URL, date and time of access, and HTTP status codes. Logs are retained for a maximum of 7 days and are used solely for security and diagnostic purposes. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

3. Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). Google Analytics uses cookies to analyze how visitors use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website (including your anonymized IP address) is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

We use Google Analytics with IP anonymization enabled (anonymize_ip), so your IP address is truncated before transmission. Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services to us.

You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent via cookie banner) or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in understanding website usage).

This website uses Google AdSense, an advertising service by Google LLC. AdSense uses cookies and web beacons to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent).

5. Cookies

Our website uses cookies. Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Some cookies are technically necessary (e.g., session cookies); others are used for analytics and advertising as described above. You can configure your browser to refuse cookies or to notify you when a cookie is set. Note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of this website.

6. Third-Party Links

Our website contains links to third-party websites (e.g., LinkedIn, X/Twitter, Bluesky, external project sites). We have no control over these sites and are not responsible for their privacy practices. Please review their respective privacy policies when visiting them.
