No cookies, no tracking

This website does not use cookies, analytics or tracking tools, and it does not load any content from third parties such as fonts, videos or social media plugins. Links to other websites, for example to publishers, are only followed when you click on them; from then on, the privacy policy of the respective website applies.

Hosting

This website is hosted on GitHub Pages, a service of GitHub, Inc., 88 Colin P. Kelly Jr. St., San Francisco, CA 94107, United States, and delivered via a content delivery network. When you visit the website, your browser automatically transmits technical data to the servers of GitHub, in particular your IP address, the date and time of access, the page requested, the referring website and information about your browser and operating system. According to GitHub, the IP address is logged and stored for security purposes.

This processing is necessary to deliver the website securely and reliably. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR; my legitimate interest lies in making this website available. I have no access to these log files and no influence on how long GitHub stores them.

Your data may be processed in the United States. GitHub is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, for which the European Commission has adopted an adequacy decision (Art. 45 GDPR). For details, please refer to the GitHub General Privacy Statement.

Contact by email

If you contact me by email, I process your email address, your message and any other data you provide in order to answer your request. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR and, where your request relates to a contract or its preparation, Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. I delete the data once it is no longer needed for this purpose, unless statutory retention obligations apply. My email address is provided by the Technical University of Munich, so emails are processed on its mail servers.

Your rights

With regard to your personal data, you have the right to

• obtain information about the data processed (Art. 15 GDPR),
• have incorrect data rectified (Art. 16 GDPR),
• have your data erased (Art. 17 GDPR),
• restrict the processing (Art. 18 GDPR),
• receive your data in a portable format (Art. 20 GDPR), and
• object at any time to processing based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR on grounds relating to your particular situation (Art. 21 GDPR).

To exercise these rights, a short email to the address above is sufficient. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR). The authority responsible for me is the Bavarian Data Protection Authority (Bayerisches Landesamt für Datenschutzaufsicht), Promenade 18, 91522 Ansbach, Germany.
