2. Hosting
This website is hosted by Host Europe GmbH. A data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR is in place. When you visit the website, the server automatically processes technical data (IP address, date and time, page requested, browser, operating system, referrer) in server log files. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR; my legitimate interest is the secure and stable operation of the website.
3. Cookies, tracking and fonts
I do not use analytics or tracking tools and no advertising cookies. Fonts are loaded locally from this server; no data is transferred to Google or other font providers. A technically necessary cookie (“pll_language”) may be set to remember the language choice.
4. Publication list from ORCID
The list of my publications is retrieved from ORCID by this website’s server and cached. No visitor data is transmitted to ORCID.
5. Contact by email
If you send me an email, I process your details to handle the request. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR where a collaboration is concerned, otherwise Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The data is deleted once it is no longer needed and no retention obligations apply.
6. Links to social networks
Links to LinkedIn, Instagram and ORCID are plain links. Data is only transferred to the respective provider when you click a link; their privacy policies then apply.
7. Your rights
You have the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection (Art. 15 to 21 GDPR). You may also lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, for example the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of Baden-Württemberg.
