When you visit this website, certain data may be processed to ensure the secure operation, performance, and analysis of the site.

3. Hosting (Vercel)

This website is hosted by Vercel Inc. When accessing the website, technical access data may be processed (server log data), such as IP address, date and time of access, browser and operating system information, referrer URL, and requested pages.

The processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest) to provide a secure, stable, and efficient website.

4. Fonts (Google Fonts via Next.js)

This website uses Google Fonts through Next.js font optimization (next/font). The fonts are self-hosted and served directly from this website’s domain. This means no requests are sent to Google when you visit this site.

Next.js automatically self-hosts Google Fonts as static assets.

5. Vercel Web Analytics

This website uses Vercel Web Analytics to understand aggregated usage statistics (for example page views and referrers) and to improve the website.

Vercel Web Analytics is designed to be privacy-focused and does not use third-party cookies. The collected information is used to generate aggregated insights and is not intended to identify individual visitors.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest) in measuring reach and improving performance and usability.

6. Vercel Speed Insights

This website uses Vercel Speed Insights to measure real user performance metrics (Web Vitals) and improve the speed and stability of the website.

Speed Insights collects performance-related information such as the current route/URL, device and browser information, country/region, and Web Vitals (for example LCP, CLS, FCP). This data is used to improve performance and user experience and is not intended to identify individual visitors.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest) in optimizing performance and user experience.

7. Cookies

This website does not use cookies for advertising or cross-site tracking. No cookie consent banner is required for the current implementation.

8. Recipients and International Data Transfers

Data may be processed by Vercel Inc. as a service provider (hosting/analytics/performance). Vercel is based in the United States, so data may be transferred to a third country.

Where required, such transfers are generally based on appropriate safeguards (for example Standard Contractual Clauses) to ensure an adequate level of data protection.

9. Data Retention

Data is stored only as long as necessary to operate, secure, and improve this website.

10. Your Rights under the GDPR

Under the GDPR, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data (for example access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and the right to object).

However, this website does not use user accounts and does not store personal profiles. The analytics used are privacy-focused and provide aggregated information such as visited pages, referrer, and approximate country/region. This information is not intended to identify you personally.

If you still have questions or believe that personal data relating to you has been processed, you can contact me anytime at contact@marc-hoffmann.dev.
