2. Data collected and purposes

a) Server logs

When you visit this website, the hosting provider Codeberg e.V. (Berlin, Germany) automatically stores data in server log files: IP address, date and time, requested page, referrer, user agent. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in secure operation). Retention: per Codeberg's policy. Codeberg's privacy notice: codeberg.org/Codeberg/org/PrivacyPolicy.

b) Contact form

If you use the contact form, the data you enter (name, email, message) is forwarded to my email address via Formspree, Inc. (USA). Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (handling your request) or Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent through submission). Transfer to the USA is safeguarded by EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) under Art. 46 GDPR. Formspree's privacy notice: formspree.io/legal/privacy-policy.

To protect the contact form from spam, the contact page loads Cloudflare Turnstile (Cloudflare, Inc., USA), which checks that the sender is a person and not a bot. For this, Cloudflare processes technical data such as your IP address and browser details. It does not identify, profile or track you. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in keeping the form free of spam). Cloudflare's Turnstile privacy notice: cloudflare.com/turnstile-privacy-policy.

c) Event registration (Tally)

If you register for a session, the data you enter (name, email, optional note) is stored by Tally (operated by Tally BV, Ghent, Belgium, EU) so I can organise that session and manage the participant list. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent through registration). Data is hosted in the EU and is deleted after the course series ends. Tally's privacy notice: tally.so/help/privacy-policy.

To protect the registration form from spam, it includes Google reCAPTCHA, which checks that the sender is a person and not a bot. For this, Google processes technical data such as your IP address and browser details. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in keeping the form free of spam). Google's privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy.
