Privacy Policy

How we handle personal data when you visit this website.

1. Who is responsible

The controller for this website is the provider named in our Legal Notice. For any privacy question, write to gordiiashx2.studio@gmail.com.

2. What this website does

This is a portfolio website. It has no user accounts, no contact form and no online shop. We do not sell personal data.

3. Hosting and server log files

The website is hosted by Netlify, Inc. (USA). Whenever a page is opened, the hosting server automatically processes technical data: your IP address, date and time of the request, the file requested, the amount of data sent, the status code, your browser and operating system, and the page you came from. This is necessary to deliver the website and keep it secure. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (our legitimate interest in a secure and efficient website). The log files are kept by the hosting provider only for a limited time. Data may be processed in the USA; this relies on safeguards such as the EU standard contractual clauses or the EU–US Data Privacy Framework, as set out in the data processing agreement with the provider.

4. Preview videos (ImageKit)

The preview videos in the “Selected Work” section are delivered by ImageKit (ImageKit.io). When the videos load, your browser connects to ImageKit’s servers, and your IP address and technical request data are transmitted so the files can be delivered. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (our legitimate interest in showing our work). Data may be processed outside the EU; this relies on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.

5. Fonts

The fonts used on this website are stored on our own server. Your browser does not connect to Google Fonts or any other font service.

6. Contact by email, phone or message

If you contact us by email, phone or message, we process the contact details and information you send us, for example your name, email address, phone number, company and the content of your request. We use this information only to answer your request, to prepare an offer and, if a project follows, to carry it out. We do not collect your data through forms, funnels or tracking on this website: we only receive what you choose to send us.

Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR if your request relates to a contract or a planned project, otherwise Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (our legitimate interest in answering enquiries). We delete your data once your request is dealt with and no contract follows, unless statutory retention periods, for example under commercial and tax law, require us to keep it longer. We only pass your data on to service providers that help us run our business, such as our email provider, or if the law requires it. Our mailbox is provided by Google (Gmail), which processes the emails on our behalf.

7. Links to other websites

This website links to Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, Vimeo and Google Drive. These links are plain links, not embedded content. No data is passed on to these services until you click a link. After that, the privacy policy of the respective service applies.

8. Cookies, local storage and your consent

Cookies or similar technologies for statistics or marketing are only used if you agree to them in the cookie banner. Without your consent they are not set. Your choice is saved in your browser’s local storage (entry “gh_consent_v1”) for 12 months, after which we ask again. Legal basis: § 25 (1) TDDDG and Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time with “Cookie Settings” in the footer. Details are in our Cookie Policy.

9. Google Analytics (only after activation and your consent)

If we activate Google Analytics on this website, it runs only if you consent. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. It processes pseudonymous identifiers, the pages you visit, approximate location and device information, to show us how the website is used. Data may be transferred to the USA. Legal basis: your consent, Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG.

10. Meta Pixel (only with your consent)

This website uses the Meta Pixel, but it runs only if you consent in the cookie banner. The provider is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, Merrion Road, Dublin 4, D04 X2K5, Ireland. It helps us measure the effect of our advertising. For the collection and transmission of this data to Meta, we may be jointly responsible with Meta under Art. 26 GDPR. Data may be transferred to the USA. Legal basis: your consent, Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG.

11. Your rights

You have the right to access (Art. 15), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20) and to object (Art. 21 GDPR). Where we process data based on your consent, you can withdraw it at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your rights, write to gordiiashx2.studio@gmail.com.

12. Right to complain

You can complain to a data protection authority. For Berlin, this is the Berlin Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (datenschutz-berlin.de).
