Privacy Policy

Protecting your personal data matters to us. In accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the following explains which data we process and for what purpose.

1. Controller

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

Maximilian Meyer

Max Meyer Web Development

Otfried-Müller-Weg 7, 37075 Göttingen, Germany

Email: max.meyer.webdesign@gmail.com

2. General Information

Personal data is any data that can be used to identify you personally. We process personal data solely within the framework of the GDPR and the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). This website can generally be used without providing personal data; where personal data is collected on our pages, this is always done on one of the legal bases set out below.

3. Hosting

This website is hosted by Vercel Inc., 340 S Lemon Ave #4133, Walnut, CA 91789, USA. When you access the website, Vercel automatically records technical access data transmitted by your browser (see “Server Log Files”). The legal basis is our legitimate interest in the secure and efficient provision of our online offering pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

This may involve a transfer of data to the USA. Vercel Inc. has committed to appropriate safeguards for such data transfers. Further information can be found in Vercel's privacy policy at https://vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy.

4. Server Log Files

The hosting provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser transmits automatically. These are: browser type and version, operating system used, referrer URL, hostname of the accessing device, time of the server request, and the IP address.

This data is not merged with other data sources. It is collected on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and the security of our website.

5. Contact Form and Contact by Email

When you contact us via the contact form or by email, we process the data you provide — name, email address, subject, and your message — in order to handle your enquiry and for any follow-up questions. Data sent via the form is transmitted to us by email and stored in our mailbox.

Processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR where your enquiry relates to the performance of a contract or the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling the enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).

The data remains with us until you ask us to delete it, withdraw your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing it no longer applies. Mandatory statutory provisions — in particular retention periods — remain unaffected.

6. Web Analytics (Vercel Web Analytics)

This website uses Vercel Web Analytics, a service provided by Vercel Inc. Vercel Analytics collects anonymised usage data (e.g. pages visited, approximate origin, device type) without using cookies and without storing personal identifiers. No data enabling the identification of individual visitors is collected.

Processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in statistically analysing the use of our website in order to improve our offering.

7. SSL/TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser's address line changes from “http://” to “https://”.

8. Your Rights

Within the scope of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of processing (Art. 15 GDPR), as well as, where applicable, a right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR), erasure (Art. 17 GDPR), restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR), and data portability (Art. 20 GDPR).

Where processing is based on legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, you have the right to object to such processing at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation (Art. 21 GDPR). To exercise your rights, an informal message to the address given above is sufficient.

9. Right to Lodge a Complaint with a Supervisory Authority

In the event of breaches of the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of your habitual residence, your place of work, or the place of the alleged breach. The authority responsible for us is the State Commissioner for Data Protection of Lower Saxony (Landesbeauftragte für den Datenschutz Niedersachsen).

10. Currency and Amendment of This Privacy Policy

This privacy policy is currently valid. As our website develops or due to changed legal or regulatory requirements, it may become necessary to amend this privacy policy.
