I take the protection of your personal data seriously. This website is deliberately kept simple: it sets no cookies for visitors, uses no analytics or tracking tools and loads no content, fonts or scripts from third parties.

2. Hosting and server log files
This website is operated on a server of IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Str. 57, 56410 Montabaur, Germany. IONOS processes the data as a processor pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR.
Each time the website is accessed, the server automatically stores information transmitted by your browser: IP address, date and time of access, requested page or file, amount of data transferred, status code, referrer URL, and browser and operating system. When password-protected areas are accessed, the user name used is also logged.
This processing serves to deliver the website, to ensure its secure and stable operation and to fend off attacks. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; my legitimate interest lies in exactly these purposes. The log files are deleted automatically after about 30 days, unless they are needed for longer in an individual case to investigate a security incident.
3. Cookies
This website sets no cookies for visitors. Technically necessary cookies are set only when logging in to the administration area (Section 25(2) TDDDG).
4. Links to other websites and social networks
The icons for LinkedIn, X, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and GitHub and other references are simple links. No data is transmitted to these providers when you visit this website. Only when you click a link are you taken to the respective provider’s website, where its privacy policy applies.
5. Contact by email or phone
If you contact me by email or phone, I process your details in order to answer your inquiry (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where a contract or steps prior to entering into a contract are concerned, otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). I delete the data as soon as it is no longer needed, unless statutory retention obligations apply.
6. Your rights
You have the right of access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18) and data portability (Art. 20). Where processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, you may object to it on grounds relating to your particular situation (Art. 21). To do so, simply contact the email address above.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR), for example the Hessian Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (Der Hessische Beauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit), Gustav-Stresemann-Ring 1, 65189 Wiesbaden, Germany.
7. SSL/TLS encryption
For security reasons, this website uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by “https://” in your browser’s address bar.
