Privacy Policy

1. Controller

The person responsible for the processing of personal data in connection with this website is:

H. Konstantin Jänicke
Email: privacy@konstantinjaenicke.com

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or about the processing of your personal data, you can contact me at the email address above.

2. Personal data processed when visiting this website

This website does not provide user accounts, registration forms, contact forms, newsletters, comment sections, or other features through which visitors are intentionally asked to submit personal data.

Nevertheless, visiting a website can involve the processing of technical information necessary to deliver, secure, and maintain the website. Depending on the hosting and technical infrastructure in use, this may include information such as:

• IP address;
• date and time of a request;
• requested page or resource;
• browser and device information;
• technical information relating to the connection; and
• security and diagnostic information.

The exact categories of technical information processed, as well as applicable retention periods, may depend on the infrastructure and services used to operate the website.

3. Contact by email

If you contact me using the email address provided on this website, I will process the personal data that you choose to provide, which may include your name, email address, and the content of your message.

This information is used solely for the purpose of responding to your correspondence and handling any related communication.

Please do not send sensitive personal information through email unless it is necessary for your communication.

4. Purposes and legal basis

Personal data may be processed for the following purposes:

• providing and maintaining the website;
• ensuring the security, stability, and proper functioning of the website;
• detecting and preventing misuse, attacks, or other security incidents;
• responding to correspondence sent to me; and
• complying with legal obligations where applicable.

Where required under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), processing is based on an applicable legal basis, including my legitimate interest in operating and maintaining a secure and functional personal website and, where applicable, responding to correspondence or complying with legal obligations.

5. Cookies and tracking technologies

This website does not intentionally use advertising cookies, tracking cookies, or similar technologies for behavioural advertising.

The website does not intentionally use third-party analytics or marketing tracking.

Where technically necessary cookies or similar technologies are used by the hosting or infrastructure required to provide or secure the website, they are used only for the relevant technical purpose.

If the website's use of cookies or similar technologies changes in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated accordingly.

6. Hosting and technical infrastructure

This website is hosted using infrastructure provided by Vercel.

In providing its hosting, deployment, security, and content-delivery infrastructure, Vercel may process technical information relating to visitors and requests made to websites deployed on its platform.

Vercel's role may differ depending on the type of data and processing involved. Vercel states that it acts as a data controller for certain information it collects in connection with its own services and as a data processor for Customer Data processed on behalf of its customers.

Vercel may process or transfer information in jurisdictions outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Where applicable, Vercel states that it uses appropriate safeguards and legal mechanisms for international transfers, including mechanisms recognized under applicable data-protection law.

Vercel's current Privacy Notice provides further information about its processing practices.

7. Recipients and third parties

Personal data is not sold or rented to third parties.

Personal data may be processed by service providers involved in hosting, security, infrastructure, email communication, or other technical functions where this is necessary to operate the website or respond to correspondence.

Such processing is limited to what is necessary for the relevant purpose and is subject to applicable data-protection requirements.

8. International transfers

Because the website uses third-party technical infrastructure, including Vercel, personal data may potentially be processed outside the European Economic Area.

Where the GDPR applies and a transfer to a country outside the EEA requires additional safeguards, appropriate safeguards and transfer mechanisms required by applicable data-protection law will be relied upon.

Vercel describes its international transfer mechanisms in its current Privacy Notice and, where applicable, its Data Processing Addendum.

9. Data retention

Personal data is not retained for longer than is reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected or as required by law.

For email correspondence, personal data contained in messages will generally be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to the correspondence, maintain the relevant communication, protect legal interests, or comply with legal obligations.

Technical data may be retained by hosting and infrastructure providers according to their applicable technical, security, operational, and legal requirements.

The retention periods of third-party infrastructure providers may therefore differ from the retention period of information directly retained by me.

10. Your rights under the GDPR

Depending on the circumstances, you may have the following rights under the GDPR:

• Right of access — to request information about whether your personal data is being processed and, where applicable, to obtain a copy of that data.
• Right to rectification — to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
• Right to erasure — to request deletion of your personal data where the legal requirements for deletion are met.
• Right to restriction — to request restriction of processing in circumstances provided for by the GDPR.
• Right to object — to object to certain processing where the legal requirements for such an objection are met.
• Right to data portability — where applicable, to receive personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.

To exercise a relevant right, contact:

privacy@konstantinjaenicke.com

I may need to take reasonable steps to verify your identity before responding to a request.

11. Right to lodge a complaint

If you believe that your personal data has been processed unlawfully or that your data-protection rights have not been respected, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent data-protection supervisory authority.

If you are in the Netherlands, the competent supervisory authority is the:

Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens
Dutch Data Protection Authority

You may contact the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens directly through its official website.

12. Changes to this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated if the website, its technical infrastructure, the types of personal data processed, or applicable legal requirements change.

The date at the beginning of this document indicates when it was last updated.
