2. Hosting (Vercel)
This website is provided on Vercel's hosting infrastructure (web hosting and serverless functions). When you access the site, technically necessary access data (e.g. IP address, timestamp, requested page, browser identifier) may be processed in server logs where required to operate, secure, and maintain the website.
Provider: Vercel Inc. Further information: vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy.
3. Contact and resume request forms
You may submit messages or a resume request through forms on this website. The data you enter is processed (e.g. name, email address, message, and optionally company and role).
Purpose: handling your enquiry and, where applicable, responding. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR and/or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in being reachable).
Resumes are not publicly downloadable. Any resume is shared manually only after the request has been reviewed.
4. Email delivery (Resend)
Form submissions are delivered to me via the Resend email service so that enquiries can be answered. Resend processes the submitted form data as a processor/service provider for delivery.
Provider: Resend, Inc. Further information: resend.com/legal/privacy-policy.
5. Spam protection (Cloudflare Turnstile)
Cloudflare Turnstile is used to protect forms against automated abuse. A connection to Cloudflare servers may be established and technical data (e.g. IP address, browser information, token) may be processed to verify that the submission is human.
Provider: Cloudflare, Inc. Further information: cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.
6. Local storage
The website stores your language preference and dark mode setting in your browser's localStorage. This data remains on your device and is not transmitted to me.
7. Fonts
Fonts (Inter, JetBrains Mono) are loaded locally from this website. No external font CDNs are used.
8. Web analytics (Google Analytics 4)
In production, I use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how the website is used (e.g. page views, clicks on external profiles and project websites, and successful form submissions). GA4 is not loaded during local development.
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in measuring reach and improving the site). Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel, advertising, and newsletter services are not used. UTM parameters in URLs are captured by GA4 by default when used in campaign links.
Provider: Google Ireland Limited / Google LLC. Further information: policies.google.com/privacy.
9. Retention
Form data is processed and retained only as long as needed to handle your enquiry and to meet legal obligations. Hosting server logs are processed or deleted according to the provider's operational practices.
10. Your rights
Subject to applicable law, you have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and objection. To exercise your rights, please use the contact form or the email address above.
