2. Access Data and Hosting
When this website is accessed, the hosting provider may process technical access data, in particular the IP address, date and time of access, requested content, amount of data transferred, browser type, and operating system. This processing is carried out to provide, maintain, and secure the website.
3. Contact Requests
If you contact me by email or via a contact form, the data you submit will be processed in order to handle your request. Processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) GDPR if your request is related to the conclusion or performance of a contract, or on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR due to the legitimate interest in handling inquiries.
4. Project File Uploads and Storage
If you use the project upload workflow, the personal data you provide there, including contact details, project information, and uploaded files, will be processed for project intake, communication, and contract performance. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR where the upload relates to pre-contractual steps or the performance of a contract, and Article 6(1)(f) GDPR for the legitimate interest in providing a secure file transfer workflow.
Uploaded project files are currently stored on the server file system in a protected upload directory. According to the current deployment configuration, no S3-compatible object storage is actively configured at this time. If the storage architecture changes in the future, this privacy policy will be updated accordingly.
If files are sent out through the delivery workflow, the recipient email address, delivery metadata, and the first confirmed download event may also be processed in order to provide the download link, document successful delivery, and send a notification to the site operator.
