Privacy Policy

Last updated · July 3, 2026

1 · Responsible party

This website is a personal, non-commercial portfolio operated by Julius Pfundstein. For any privacy-related questions or requests, contact pigeon-effect@outlook.com.

2 · What this site collects

There are no user accounts, no newsletters, no comment systems, and no contact forms on this site. The site itself sets no tracking cookies. Processing of personal data is limited to what is described below.

3 · Server logs & hosting

When you visit any page, the hosting infrastructure automatically processes technical data in server logs: your IP address, the date and time of the request, the requested URL, the transferred data volume, browser type and version, operating system, and the referring page. This data is processed to deliver the site, ensure its stability, and defend against abuse (legitimate interest, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Log data is not merged with other data sources.

4 · Third-party content (CDNs)

Pages on this site load fonts and open-source libraries from third-party content delivery networks: Google Fonts (Google), jsDelivr, unpkg and cdnjs (Cloudflare), and d3js.org. When your browser fetches these resources, your IP address and technical request data are necessarily transmitted to the respective provider, who may log the request under their own privacy policy.

5 · Google services

Some of the services embedded in this site are provided by Google (Google Ireland Limited / Google LLC), including the fonts served from Google's servers. Please be aware that Google's intelligence and analytics services track and process user data — including your IP address, device and browser information, and how you interact with pages that embed them — and that Google may use this data for its own purposes, such as analytics, profiling, and service improvement, as described in the Google Privacy Policy. Where Google processes data outside the EU/EEA, Google states that it relies on recognized transfer mechanisms such as the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and standard contractual clauses.

6 · Local storage

The site remembers your light/dark theme preference in your browser's local storage. This value never leaves your device, contains no personal data, and can be removed at any time through your browser settings.

7 · Contact by email

If you contact me by email, your address and the contents of your message are processed solely to handle the inquiry (Art. 6(1)(b) and (f) GDPR) and are deleted once they are no longer required.

8 · Your rights

Under the GDPR you have the right to access the personal data stored about you (Art. 15), to rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20), and to object to processing based on legitimate interest (Art. 21). You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77).

9 · Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated as the site evolves — for example, when the site moves to a new hosting provider or new features are added. The current version is always available on this page.
