Data Protection Officer

A Data Protection Officer is currently not required for our business. For data protection requests, please contact us directly using the email address provided in the Impressum.

What data do we collect?

Contact form: Data you enter (name, email, message) is processed and transmitted to us for the purpose of handling your enquiry.

Server logs: The site is hosted on GitHub Pages (GitHub, Inc.). When you visit the site, access data (e.g. IP address, browser, time) may be collected by the host. These data are necessary for the operation of the site. This website does not set any cookies.

Legal basis (Art. 6 GDPR)

Processing of the contact form is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Transmission via the contact form only takes place on the basis of your explicit consent. Processing of server logs is based on legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or contract performance. You may withdraw your consent at any time.

Retention period

Enquiries and the associated correspondence are deleted or otherwise anonymised after processing is complete, unless legal retention obligations apply. Formspree processes and retains personal data only as long as required for the purposes described in this privacy policy (e.g. to provide the form service and comply with legal obligations). In addition, log files may be processed for security and maintenance purposes. The exact duration may vary depending on the type of data; server/system logs are managed according to the requirements of the respective provider.

Your rights

You have the right to access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20), and to object (Art. 21). You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR).

To exercise these rights, please contact us at the email address given in the Impressum. We will process your request without undue delay, generally within one month (Art. 12(3) GDPR). Because this site is hosted statically via GitHub Pages, we do not store visitor data on the server; the data concerned are mainly contact form submissions (see processor Formspree) and any correspondence we keep.

Disclosure and processors

Data are not disclosed to anyone other than the processors listed below.

Processor: Contact form

The contact form is operated by Formspree (Formspree.io, USA). Your entries are transmitted to Formspree’s servers. A data processing agreement is in place. Where data are transferred to the USA, transfer is based on the EU Commission’s standard contractual clauses. Further information: https://formspree.io/legal/privacy-policy.

Email (receipt): Google/Gmail

The information you submit via the contact form (including for handling your enquiry) is processed via the email address provided through Google/Gmail. We use this mailbox exclusively for communication related to your enquiry. After processing is complete, we delete emails unless legal retention obligations or technical reasons (e.g. security/backup processes) apply. Details regarding processing and retention follow Google’s privacy terms.

Processor: Hosting

The site is delivered via GitHub Pages (GitHub, Inc., USA; server location may be in the USA). When pages are requested, GitHub may process access data (e.g. IP, timestamp). GitHub processes data in the course of serving the pages. Privacy: https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/privacy-policies/github-privacy-statement.

Social media presence: LinkedIn

We maintain a company presence on LinkedIn (LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company / LinkedIn Corporation, USA). When you visit our LinkedIn page or interact with our content, LinkedIn may process personal data (e.g. usage data, device information). Processing is governed by LinkedIn’s privacy policy. For transfers to the USA, LinkedIn uses, among other mechanisms, the EU Commission’s standard contractual clauses. Privacy: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy.

Cookies and local storage

This site does not set any non-essential cookies. No analytics or marketing cookies are used. A cookie notice stores your acknowledgment (“Got it”) only locally in your browser (localStorage) so the notice is not shown again. This storage is not used for tracking.

Withdrawal of consent

You may withdraw consent you have given (e.g. for contact) at any time with effect for the future. Contact us at the email address given in the Impressum.

No medical devices, no diagnosis

None of the solutions described on this site are designed or approved as medical devices under the EU MDR. They are not intended to diagnose, treat, or monitor diseases or health conditions and do not replace medical or psychological advice.

Fonts and analytics

This site uses system fonts only (no Google Fonts). No analytics or tracking tools are used.
