How do we record your data?
Because we do not provide a contact form or equivalent tools, we do not collect personal data submitted by you. Any data recorded when you visit the website is strictly standard technical information recorded automatically by our hosting provider (e.g., web browser, operating system, or time the site was accessed) or through Vercel Analytics, which operates without storing cookies and without collecting personally identifiable information.
3. Hosting
We are hosting the content of our website with the following provider:
External Hosting (Vercel)
This website is hosted externally by Vercel Inc. Standard technical data (such as IP addresses, web page access, and browser data) may be processed by the host's servers to ensure the secure and reliable delivery of this website. External hosting is used for the purpose of fulfilling the contract with our potential and existing customers (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) and in the interest of a secure, fast, and efficient provision of our online services by a professional provider (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
4. Analysis Tools - Vercel Analytics
We use the "Vercel Analytics" service from Vercel Inc., 440 N Barranca Ave #4133 Covina, CA 91723, USA, to analyze and evaluate the performance of our website.
Type of data processing and waiver of cookies
Vercel Analytics is designed to be privacy-friendly and does not use cookies or similar technologies that store or read information on your device. When you visit our website, only technical information such as browser type, operating system, and pages visited is recorded to improve the user-friendliness of our platform. No personal data is collected.
Your IP address is only processed briefly to generate an anonymized hash value, which automatically expires daily. The IP address itself is not stored. It is not possible for us to personally identify you or create cross-website tracking profiles.
Legal basis
Since no tracking cookies are used and the data processing is highly anonymized, Vercel Analytics is used without consent on the basis of our legitimate interest in a statistical evaluation of user behavior to optimize our web presence (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR).
Data processing agreement (DPA) and data transfer
We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) with Vercel in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. This ensures that Vercel processes the data strictly according to our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR. Since Vercel is a US company, data processing in the USA cannot be excluded. Vercel Inc. is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). In addition, data transfer is secured by the conclusion of standard contractual clauses (SCC) of the EU Commission to ensure an adequate level of data protection.
5. Plugins and Tools
YouTube Embedded Videos
We embed YouTube videos on our website to showcase projects. The operator of the pages is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
When you play a YouTube video on our site, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. This tells the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to explicitly assign your browsing behavior to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account before playing a video.

Our website contains links to external platforms and social networks (such as GitHub, LinkedIn, Instagram, etc.). We explicitly state that we have no influence over whether their operators comply with data protection regulations. When you click on such a link, you leave our site, and the privacy policies of the respective external operators apply.
