Provision of the website

When this website is accessed, technically necessary access data is processed. This may include the IP address, date and time of access, page requested, referrer, browser and operating-system information, and the amount of data transferred.

The processing serves to provide the website securely, reliably and without errors. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The legitimate interest lies in the secure and reliable operation of this website.

Recipients may include commissioned hosting and infrastructure providers that process data as part of the technical provision of the website. Where processing takes place outside the European Economic Area, it is carried out only in accordance with Articles 44 et seq. GDPR. The data is deleted when it is no longer required for these purposes, unless legal or security-related reasons require longer retention.

Cookies, analytics and embedded content

This website does not use its own analytics or marketing services, contact forms, newsletters or social-media plugins. It does not automatically embed content from external providers. Technically necessary functions of the hosting and infrastructure providers remain unaffected.

Contact by email

If you contact me by email, I process the information you provide to handle and respond to your request. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR and, for pre-contractual enquiries, Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. The information is deleted once the enquiry has been fully handled, unless statutory retention requirements apply.

External links

This website contains links to external websites, including LinkedIn, specialist publications, companies and public institutions. A connection to the respective provider is established only when you follow such a link. The respective provider is responsible for any subsequent processing of personal data.

Your rights

Subject to the statutory requirements, you have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, objection and, where applicable, data portability. You may object to processing based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR for reasons arising from your particular situation.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data-protection supervisory authority. The competent authority includes the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of North Rhine-Westphalia.
