Privacy Policy

With the following privacy policy, I inform you in particular about the type, scope, purpose, duration, and legal basis of the processing of personal data, insofar as I decide either alone or with others about the purposes and means of processing. In addition, I will inform you below about the third-party components I use for optimization purposes and to increase the quality of use, insofar as third parties process data on their responsibility.

All data processing is subject to the statutory provisions. This means, among other things:

  • I clearly state the purposes for which I process personal data, which is done through this privacy policy.
  • Personal data (hereinafter mostly referred to as “data”) will only be processed by me to the extent necessary and for the purpose of providing a functional and user-friendly website, including its content and the services offered there.
    “Processing” means any operation or set of operations that is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means. The term is broad and covers practically every handling of data, such as collection, storage, retrieval, but also deletion or destruction. The term is explained in more detail in Article 4(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, i.e. the General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter referred to as “GDPR”).
    “Personal data” means any information relating to an identifiable natural person. An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number (e.g. customer number), or an online identifier such as a cookie.
  • Before any of your data is processed, I will first obtain your explicit consent if this is necessary for processing.
  • The default settings of the weblog software WordPress and the hosting provider Dreamhost are used to protect your data. Data may be stored outside of EU countries, as these providers are located in the USA.

I reserve the right to make changes to this privacy policy. In case of doubt, checking this privacy policy regularly is recommended.
