The following information provides a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit this website. Personal data is all data with which you can be personally identified. Detailed information on the subject of data protection can be found in this privacy policy below.
Data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. You can find their contact details in the section "Note on the responsible party" in this privacy policy.
Your data is collected on the one hand by you providing it to me. This can be, for example, data that you enter in a contact form.
Other data is collected automatically or after your consent when you visit the website by my IT systems. These are mainly technical data (e.g., internet browser, operating system or time of page access). The collection of this data takes place automatically as soon as you enter this website.
Some of the data is collected to ensure error-free provision of the website. Other data can be used to analyze your user behavior.
I host this website with Vercel Inc., 340 S Lemon Ave #4133, Walnut, CA 91789, USA. Vercel processes data as part of providing the hosting service. For more information, see Vercel's privacy policy: https://vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy
Where data is processed in the USA, I rely on appropriate safeguards under Art. 46 GDPR (e.g., EU Standard Contractual Clauses offered by the providers) in addition to technical and organizational measures.
This website uses an optional AI chatbot based on Google Gemini via the Gemini API. When you send a message, it is transmitted to Google for response generation. According to Google's API terms, prompts sent through the API are not used to improve Google's models.
This website uses artificial intelligence to provide assistance. You are interacting with an AI system, not a human. This disclosure is required under the EU AI Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689).
Your messages are processed by AI systems for response generation. No personal data is permanently stored or used for AI training purposes beyond the current session.
AI responses are for informational purposes only and should not be considered as professional advice. The AI system may occasionally provide inaccurate or incomplete information.
You have the right to know when you are interacting with AI systems, understand how your data is processed, and request information about AI decision-making processes.
Processing is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR (Legitimate interest in providing the service).
Chat data is only stored temporarily for the duration of the session. IP data for rate limiting is stored for a maximum of 24 hours.
For more information on data processing by Google, see Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
If you request access to the resume (CV), I process the data you provide to verify your request, send access codes by email after manual approval, and enable a secure PDF download.
Controlled release of the resume to protect private contact details (e.g., phone number, address); prevention of abuse.
Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest in controlled sharing of application documents) and, where applicable, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR (steps prior to entering into a contract at your request).
Request data and access metadata are stored until the access code expires (24 hours after approval) or until manual deletion. Rate-limit data is retained for up to 24 hours.
Processing may involve the USA (Vercel, Resend, Upstash). I use provider safeguards under Art. 46 GDPR (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses) where applicable.
I use Vercel Web Analytics to measure aggregated page views and performance. This helps me understand how the website is used. Vercel states that Web Analytics does not use cookies for tracking and does not collect personal identifiers for profiling.
Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest in a privacy-friendly, aggregated understanding of website usage).
You can block analytics by using browser tracking protection, ad blockers, or by disabling JavaScript. You can also contact me to object to this processing under Art. 21 GDPR.
