The protection of your personal data is important to me. Personal data is processed on this website only to the extent necessary to provide a secure and functional website, display its content and respond to enquiries. Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.
Website Hosting
This website is hosted by:
IONOS SE Elgendorfer Straße 57 56410 Montabaur Germany
When you access this website, IONOS may automatically process technical information in server log files. This may include:
your IP address;
the date and time of access;
the page or file requested;
the referring website;
your browser type and version;
your operating system; and
the access status or HTTP status code.
This data is processed to provide the website, ensure its technical stability and security, identify errors and prevent misuse. The legal basis for this processing is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. My legitimate interest lies in the secure and reliable operation of this website. Log data is deleted when it is no longer required for these purposes, unless longer retention is necessary to investigate a security incident or comply with a legal obligation. IONOS processes personal data on my behalf where applicable. The processing is governed by a data processing agreement pursuant to Article 28 GDPR.
Contact by Email
When you contact me by email, the information you provide, including your email address and the content of your message, is processed for the purpose of handling and responding to your enquiry. Where your enquiry relates to the negotiation or performance of a contract, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. In all other cases, processing is based on my legitimate interest in responding to enquiries pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Your information will be retained only for as long as necessary to process your enquiry. Statutory retention obligations remain unaffected. Please note that communication by email may involve security risks. Complete protection against access by third parties cannot be guaranteed.
Fonts
This website uses fonts provided through Squarespace’s integrated font services. Depending on the font selected, these may include fonts supplied by Squarespace or its technical partners, such as Google Fonts or Adobe Fonts. When the website is accessed, your browser may connect to servers operated by Squarespace or the relevant font provider in order to download and display the required font files. In this process, technical information such as your IP address, browser information, operating system, referring page and the date and time of access may be transmitted. The fonts are used to ensure the consistent and visually appropriate presentation of this website. The legal basis for this processing is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. My legitimate interest lies in the consistent, technically reliable and visually appealing presentation of the website. Depending on the provider involved, personal data may be processed outside the European Union or the European Economic Area, particularly in the United States. Where required, such transfers are based on an adequacy decision, appropriate safeguards or the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. Further information about the processing of personal data by Squarespace can be found in Squarespace’s Privacy Policy.
Vimeo Videos
This website includes videos provided by Vimeo. The provider is:
Vimeo.com, Inc. 330 West 34th Street, 10th Floor New York, NY 10001 United States
Vimeo videos are embedded into this website using the Vimeo player. When a Vimeo video is activated, a connection is established between your browser and Vimeo’s servers. Vimeo may receive technical information including your IP address, browser and device information, the page you visited, the date and time of access and information about your interaction with the video. Vimeo may also use cookies or similar technologies required to provide and operate the embedded video player. Where legally required, Vimeo content will only be loaded after you have given your consent. The legal basis for the storage of or access to information on your device is Section 25(1) of the German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG). The legal basis for the subsequent processing of personal data is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal. Vimeo may process personal data in the United States and other countries outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. Such transfers may be based on an adequacy decision, the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses or other safeguards recognised under Articles 44 et seq. GDPR. Further information about Vimeo’s processing of personal data can be found in Vimeo’s Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
This website does not use analytics, advertising or marketing cookies operated by the website owner. Technically necessary cookies or similar technologies may nevertheless be used by the website platform, hosting provider or embedded third-party services where they are required to provide the website or an expressly requested function. In particular, the embedded Vimeo player may use cookies or similar technologies when a video is activated. Where the use of a technology is not strictly necessary, it will only be activated after obtaining your consent in accordance with Section 25(1) TDDDG and Article 6(1)(a) a) GDPR.
No Analytics or User Profiling
This website does not use Google Analytics or any comparable analytics service operated by the website owner. No visitor profiles are created by the website owner for advertising, behavioural analysis or marketing purposes. This does not exclude technical processing carried out independently by third-party providers where their services are activated, particularly in connection with embedded Vimeo videos or externally provided fonts.
Recipients of Personal Data
Personal data may be disclosed to technical service providers where this is necessary to provide and secure the website.
The recipients may include:
IONOS SE as the hosting provider;
Squarespace and its technical service providers in connection with the website’s fonts; and
Vimeo.com, Inc. when embedded videos are activated.
Personal data is otherwise disclosed only where required by law, necessary for the performance of a contract, necessary to protect legitimate interests or where you have given your consent.
International Data Transfers
Some of the service providers used on this website may process personal data outside the European Union or the European Economic Area, particularly in the United States. Where personal data is transferred to a third country, the transfer takes place only where the requirements of Articles 44 et seq. GDPR are met. Depending on the recipient, this may be based on an adequacy decision by the European Commission, certification under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework, Standard Contractual Clauses or another legally recognised safeguard.
Retention of Personal Data
Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. Data may be retained for a longer period where this is required by statutory retention obligations or necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
