Protecting your personal data matters to me. This website is deliberately lean: it sets no cookies, uses no analytics or tracking services, and holds no user accounts. Below you will find the information required under Articles 13 and 14 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) about the data that is nevertheless processed.
This is a courtesy translation of the German Datenschutzerklärung. In the event of any discrepancy, the German version prevails.
The controller responsible for data processing on this website within the meaning of the GDPR is:
Erik Stoffelshaus
c/o spirit Kommunikation meyer knappenberger kluwe GbR
Streicher Straße 41
73614 Schorndorf
Germany
No data protection officer has been appointed, as the conditions of Art. 37 GDPR and § 38 BDSG are not met.
This website is hosted by Netlify. The provider is Netlify, Inc., 512 2nd Street, Suite 200, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. When you access the website, Netlify automatically collects information transmitted by your browser and stores it in what are known as server log files. These are:
This data is required for the technical delivery and security of the website. It is not merged with other data sources and is not linked to you as an individual.
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in providing the website in a technically sound and secure manner).
Retention period: Log files are deleted automatically after seven days at the latest, unless they are needed to investigate a specific security incident.
Transfer to the USA: Netlify is a US company, so processing of your data in the USA cannot be ruled out. Netlify, Inc. is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, for which the European Commission issued an adequacy decision on 10 July 2023 pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR. In addition, Netlify relies on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (Implementing Decision 2021/914) pursuant to Art. 46(2)(c) GDPR.
Processing agreement: The data processing addendum under Art. 28 GDPR forms an integral part of Netlify's terms of service and therefore applies automatically to all customers. It can be retrieved at netlify.com/gdpr-ccpa.

For security reasons this website uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the address bar of your browser beginning with "https://" and by the padlock symbol. When encryption is active, the data you transmit to this website cannot be read by third parties.
This website uses the typefaces "Outfit" and "DM Mono". These are stored locally on this website's own server and are loaded exclusively from there.
As a result, no connection is made to Google's servers or to any other third party when you visit this website. No data — in particular not your IP address — is transmitted to Google. Google Fonts is not embedded as an external service on this website.
The typefaces are licensed under the SIL Open Font License 1.1 and may be freely used and distributed.
If you contact me by email or telephone, the details you provide — including your contact data — will be stored in order to process your enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. Communication is handled through spirit Kommunikation as communications partner.
This website does not offer a contact form. The email address shown on the site is a plain "mailto" link; clicking it opens your own email program, and no data is collected by this website.
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where your enquiry relates to the initiation or performance of a contract, otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in responding to enquiries).
Retention period: Your data will be deleted once your enquiry has been dealt with conclusively, provided no statutory retention obligations apply.
This website sets no cookies. No web analytics services, reach measurement, retargeting or advertising networks are used. There is no profiling and no automated decision-making within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR.
For this reason, no cookie banner is required.
This website contains links to external services, including LinkedIn, Instagram, Amazon and the website of spirit Kommunikation. These are plain hyperlinks only — no social media plugins, "like" buttons or embedded content from these providers are integrated. Data is therefore only transmitted to these providers once you actively click such a link.
After clicking, the privacy policy of the respective provider applies. I have no influence over their content or their data processing.
You have the following rights in relation to your personal data:
An informal message to the contact address above is sufficient to exercise your rights.
Where processing of your data is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, you have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to such processing. The applicable legal basis is stated in the sections above.
Without prejudice to any other legal remedy, you have the right under Art. 77 GDPR to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement.
