Types of data processed and methods

This website is a static portfolio and does not feature user registration, login areas, or integrated contact forms. No personal data is collected or stored directly through the infrastructure of this website.

The only data processed consists of:

• Browsing data: Technical logs automatically generated by the server infrastructure (IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, pages visited, date/time of access, referrer URL).
• Anonymized analytics data: Aggregated, non-identifiable usage statistics collected through Google Analytics (see the Cookies section).
• Voluntary contact data: If you choose to send an email to our listed address, your email address, name (if provided), and the content of your message will be processed exclusively within our external email client.

Purposes and legal basis

• Website operation and security: Technical server logs are processed to deliver the website pages safely, prevent server abuse, and protect the service. Legal basis: legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
• Statistics and audience measurement: Google Analytics is used exclusively in an anonymized, aggregated form to understand general traffic trends without identifying individual users. Legal basis: legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
• Handling enquiries: Processing emails you voluntarily send us to evaluate potential collaborations, projects, or quotes. Legal basis: performance of pre-contractual steps taken at your request (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).
• Affiliate links: Outbound product links (e.g., Amazon) are included for transparency and professional recommendations. No tracking cookies are injected by this website before you click them. Legal basis: legitimate interest.

Recipients and processors

To maintain the website and basic operations, data may be accessed by trusted third-party services:

• Web hosting provider: For server infrastructure and technical security logs.
• Google Ireland Limited / Google LLC: Google Analytics (measurement ID G-VR78D0WP8R), configured with strict IP anonymization and data-sharing restrictions.
• Cloudinary: Used purely for optimized delivery of images and media assets.
• Retailers and partners: Third-party stores (such as Amazon) only process your data under their own independent policies if and when you choose to click an outbound link.

Data transfers outside the European Economic Area (e.g., to the USA for Google Analytics or Cloudinary) rely on adequacy decisions, the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, or standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission.
