Privacy Policy

The protection of your personal data is important to me. Below, I explain which personal data is processed when you visit this website and for what purposes.

1. Controller

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

Dr. Steven Vettermann
Paulinenstraße 15
20359 Hamburg
Germany

Email: info@stevenvettermann.com
Phone: +49 151 21333769

2. General information on data processing

When you visit this website, personal data is processed only to the extent necessary to provide and securely operate the website, for the statistical analysis of website access, or where you voluntarily provide data, for example when contacting me by email.

No analysis of individual user behavior for advertising or marketing purposes takes place. No external tracking or analytics services are used.

3. Hosting, server log files, and access statistics

This website is hosted by ALL-INKL.COM – Neue Medien Münnich, Hauptstraße 68, 02742 Friedersdorf, Germany.

When you access this website, the hosting provider processes technically necessary access data. This may include, in particular:

  • IP address
  • Date and time of access
  • Page or file accessed
  • Referrer URL
  • Browser used
  • Operating system used

IP addresses are stored in shortened form in the server log files. Parts of the IP address are removed, making direct attribution to a specific internet connection more difficult.

The server log files are deleted after 7 days.

The processing is carried out for the purpose of technically providing the website and ensuring its stability and security. The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The legitimate interest lies in the secure and functional operation of this website.

Statistical analysis of website access

Based on the server access data, the hosting provider generates server-side access statistics. These are used to evaluate the use of this website in aggregated form, in particular the number of accesses and visits as well as how frequently individual pages are accessed.

No additional cookies are set for this purpose, and no external analytics services are integrated. The analysis is based on shortened IP addresses and the access data generated when pages are requested.

The statistical analysis is used solely to understand the use of and demand for the content provided on this website and to develop the information offered accordingly.

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The legitimate interest lies in the statistical analysis and needs-based development of this website.

4. SSL/TLS encryption

For security reasons, this website uses SSL/TLS encryption. This protects data transmitted between your browser and this website from access by third parties.

5. Contact by email

If you contact me by email, the personal data you provide, in particular your name, email address, and the content of your message, will be processed in order to handle your inquiry and communicate with you.

Where the contact is made for the purpose of initiating or performing a contractual relationship, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. In other cases, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The legitimate interest lies in processing and responding to inquiries.

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to process your inquiry, unless statutory retention obligations require otherwise.

6. Cookies, analytics, and tracking

This website does not use cookies that require consent.

No external analytics, tracking, or marketing services are used. In particular, visitors are not tracked across websites, and no user profiles are created for advertising or marketing purposes.

Website access is analyzed statistically only on the server side by the hosting provider, as described in Section 3.

Where technically necessary cookies are used, they are used solely to the extent required for the operation and provision of the website.

7. Fonts

The fonts used on this website are provided locally from this website’s server. No connection to external font providers, in particular Google Fonts, is established when the fonts are loaded.

8. External links

This website may contain links to external websites and platforms, such as LinkedIn or other online services.

These are ordinary external links and not embedded content or social media plugins. A connection to the respective provider is established only when you follow such a link. From that point onward, the privacy policy of the respective provider applies.
