This data is not merged with other data sources. The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest in providing a functional website).

Cookies and Tracking

This website does not use cookies for tracking purposes. We use localStorage exclusively to save your language preference (English or German). This is purely functional and does not track your behavior. No analytics tools, tracking pixels, or third-party cookies are used.

When you contact us via email or other means, we process the personal data you provide (name, email address, message content) to respond to your inquiry. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR (performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures) or Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest). Your data will be deleted once your inquiry has been resolved, unless we are required by law to retain it longer.

Data Processors

We do not use third-party data processors beyond the hosting provider (GitHub Pages). If this changes, we will update this privacy policy accordingly.
