Visiting this website

This website runs on a server I operate myself. When you open it, the data technically required to deliver the page is processed: IP address, date and time, the address requested, the volume of data transferred, browser type and operating system.

Access logs are recorded and deleted automatically after 14 days. They serve solely the technically faultless operation and the detection of attacks. No evaluation for statistical or advertising purposes takes place, and the data is not combined with other sources.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The legitimate interest lies in the secure and uninterrupted operation of the website.

Hosting

The server is located in a data centre of 1blu GmbH, Riedemannweg 60, 13627 Berlin, Germany. The provider supplies the infrastructure and processes connection data in order to fend off attacks. A data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR is in place. The data centres are located in Germany.

Contact by email

If you contact me by email, your details are stored in order to handle the enquiry and any follow-up questions. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for pre-contractual enquiries, otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required, unless statutory retention periods apply.

The email service is operated by mailbox.org AG, Berlin, Germany. The provider processes the content and metadata of your messages on my behalf. A data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR is in place. The servers are located in Germany.

Video calls

For first conversations and project coordination I use Jitsi Meet through my email provider mailbox.org AG, Berlin, Germany. No account is required to take part, you simply receive a link from me.

The following is processed: your IP address, the display name you choose, audio and video data during the call and, where applicable, messages from the text chat. This data is processed solely to hold the conversation and is not stored permanently. No recording takes place. I ask participants to use their own name as the display name so that everyone can tell who is who. This is not enforced technically, a pseudonym is possible.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, as the conversation serves the initiation or performance of a contract. Operation takes place on my behalf under the same data processing agreement as the email service.
