2. Overview
This is a static personal portfolio. It sets no advertising or analytics cookies and uses no tracking. The only personal data processed is what your browser and my hosting provider technically need in order to deliver the pages, plus anything you choose to send me if you get in touch.
3. Hosting and server log files
The site is hosted by Hostinger (Hostinger International Ltd.). When you visit, the server automatically records standard access data in log files: your IP address, date and time of the request, the page requested, the referrer, and your browser and operating system. This is processed to deliver the site reliably and to keep it secure, on the basis of my legitimate interest under Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR. These logs are kept only for a short period and then deleted.
4. Getting in touch
There is no contact form on this site. If you contact me by email, phone, WhatsApp or through a social profile, the data you provide (for example your name, contact details and message) is processed solely to handle your enquiry, on the basis of Art. 6 (1)(b) and (f) GDPR. I keep it only for as long as needed to answer you and do not pass it on to third parties.
5. Fonts
The fonts used (Fraunces and Inter, both under the SIL Open Font License) are hosted on my own server and loaded from there. No connection to Google Fonts or any third-party font CDN is made, so no data is transmitted to a font provider.
6. External links
The contact section links to external platforms (LinkedIn, Behance, Instagram, WhatsApp). Once you follow such a link this privacy policy no longer applies; please refer to the privacy policy of the respective provider. Please note that WhatsApp (Meta) may process data on servers outside the EU.
7. Local storage
To remember small preferences (whether the intro animation has already played, your sound settings, and whether private projects have been unlocked) the site uses your browser's local and session storage. This information stays on your device, is strictly necessary for those features, sets no cookies and is not used to track you.
8. Your rights
Under the GDPR you have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and to object to processing. You can reach me at any time using the details above. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority.
This policy is kept deliberately short because the site collects almost no data.
