Personal data is any data with which you can be personally identified. Detailed information on the subject of data protection can be found in our comprehensive privacy policy listed below this text.

Data Recording on This Website The data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. The operator's contact details can be found in the Legal Notice (Impressum) of this website and in the section "Note on the Responsible Body" below.

How do we record your data?

• Data provided by you: Your data is collected when you communicate it to us. This includes, for example, data that you enter into a contact form or send directly via email.

This is primarily technical data (e.g., internet browser, operating system, or time of the page visit). This data is recorded automatically as soon as you enter this website.

What do we use your data for? Part of the data is collected to ensure that the website is provided without technical errors. Other data (such as Google Analytics, subject to your consent) is used to analyze your user behavior to optimize the digital portfolio presentation. As this is a non-commercial professional portfolio, we do not share, sell, or rent your personal data to unauthorized third parties.

Storage Duration Unless a specific storage period has been specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies (e.g., after answering your email inquiry). If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., statutory tax or commercial retention periods).

5. Analytics Tools and Advertising
