When you submit the contact form on this website, I collect your name, email address, and the message content you provide. This data is used solely to respond to your inquiry. I do not use it for marketing purposes or share it with third parties.
Website analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to understand how visitors interact with the site (e.g. pages visited, time spent, and general geographic location).
To protect your privacy:
IP Anonymisation: Google Analytics 4 automatically anonymises IP addresses, meaning your full IP address is never stored or processed by Google.
Data Restrictions: I have disabled Google Signals and advertising features to ensure that your data is used strictly for performance analysis, not for targeted advertising or cross-site tracking.
Consent-Based: Tracking will only activate if you provide explicit consent via the cookie banner on this website.
Legal basis for processing
Your data is processed on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 revDSG / GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)) when you voluntarily submit the contact form or when you opt into analytics cookies via the cookie banner.
How long I keep your data
Contact form submissions are kept for as long as necessary to handle your inquiry and any subsequent business relationship, and are deleted thereafter.
Google Analytics data is retained for a standard period of 14 months (Google's standard retention period for user-level data) before being automatically deleted.
Third-party services
This website is built and hosted on Tilda (tilda.cc). Tilda may process technical data such as IP addresses and browser information as part of hosting the website. For more information, see Tilda’s Privacy Policy.
As noted above, web analytics data is processed by Google LLC. This data may be transferred to and stored on servers in the United States. Google complies with international data transfer frameworks regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information.
