Privacy at a glance

The following information provides a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit this website. Personal data is any data that can be used to personally identify you. Detailed information on data protection can be found in the privacy policy listed below this text.

Data collection on this website

I personally do not collect or store any personal data or information.

However, this site is hosted on third-party servers, and third-party content from external websites is integrated. This means that these third parties may store your IP address. Please note, however, that your IP address must be known in order to display a website. I have no influence over this. Should I become aware of any such data processing, I will document it here.

Umami Tracking

This website operates in compliance with the GDPR and does not collect any personal data. It employs a privacy-friendly analytics system named Umami to gain insights into how visitors use the site. The only information collected is the basic data provided by the browser or device used to access this website. None of the collected information can be used to personally identify any individual or device accessing the site. This information is not shared with any third party for any reason.

Umami does not set a cookie or store anything in the browser. It also respects ad blockers.

Additionally, anonymized click events on social media links (e.g. Mastodon, Instagram, GitHub) are recorded to see which links are being used. No personal data is transmitted in the process.

External Hosting

This website is hosted by an external service provider (hoster). The personal data collected on this website is stored on the hoster’s servers. This may include IP addresses, meta and communication data, website access, and other data generated via a website.

GitHub Pages

Spotify

Functions of the music service Spotify are integrated on this website. The provider is Spotify AB, Birger Jarlsgatan 61, 113 56 Stockholm, Sweden.

The Spotify widget is only loaded after your explicit consent. When you visit the page, a placeholder image is displayed first. Only when you click “Accept” in the dialog that appears will a connection to Spotify’s servers be established and the widget loaded. A cookie (spotifyWidget) is set to store your consent (see above).

Once the widget is loaded, Spotify receives the information that you have visited this website with your IP address. If you click the Spotify button while you are logged in to your Spotify account, Spotify may associate your visit to this website with your user account.

Processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR (consent). Consent can be revoked at any time by deleting the spotifyWidget cookie in your browser.

General Information and Mandatory Information

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their place of work, or the place of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

SSL or TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line. When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit cannot be read by third parties.
