2. Data collected when you visit this site

Server logs

When you visit this website, your browser automatically sends technical data to my hosting provider: IP address, timestamp, requested URL, HTTP status code, bytes transferred, referrer, browser and operating system. This data is technically necessary for operating the site securely and is deleted after a maximum of 30 days.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in the secure and stable operation of the website).

Theme preference

If you switch the color scheme (light/dark), your preference is stored in your browser's local storage (localStorage). This data never leaves your browser and is not transmitted. You can delete it at any time through your browser settings.

3. Cookies and tracking

This website does not use cookies. Anonymous page-view measurement is provided by Fathom Analytics — a privacy-friendly service that uses no cookies and creates no personal profiles (see section 4). No data is processed for advertising purposes.

4. Third-party services

Fonts and all static assets on this website are served from my own server.
