2. General information on data processing

This website provides information about my consulting services. Personal data is processed only to the extent necessary to provide the website or to handle your inquiries. No tracking or analytics services are used and no cookies are set for marketing purposes.

The fonts used are hosted locally on the server; when the website is accessed, no connection is established to Google servers (e.g. Google Fonts).

3. Hosting and server log files

This website is hosted via GitHub Pages, a service of GitHub, Inc., 88 Colin P. Kelly Jr. Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA (a Microsoft Corporation company). When this website is accessed, GitHub automatically processes information in what are known as server log files (e.g. IP address, date and time of access, page accessed, browser type). This processing takes place on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in order to ensure trouble-free and secure operation.

In the course of this, personal data is transferred to the USA. GitHub, Inc. is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. The transfer is therefore based on the adequacy decision of the European Commission of 10 July 2023 (Art. 45 GDPR). In addition, GitHub’s data protection terms apply, which form part of the GitHub Terms of Service.

4. Contact by email

If you write to me by email, I process the information you provide (email address, content of the message) in order to handle your inquiry. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (steps prior to entering into a contract) or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in responding).

5. Link to LinkedIn

This website contains a link to my LinkedIn profile. By clicking it you leave this website; the privacy provisions of LinkedIn (LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company) then apply. The mere presence of the link does not transmit any data to LinkedIn.

6. Retention period

Inquiries and associated data are deleted as soon as they are no longer required for processing and no statutory retention obligations (e.g. under commercial or tax law) prevent deletion.

7. Your rights

You have the right of access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20) and to object to processing based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (Art. 21). You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority.
