This website can generally be used without providing personal data. If personal data (such as your name or email address) is collected on my website, it is always provided voluntarily. I do not share this data with third parties without your express consent.

I also use PostHog’s “Session Replay” feature. This allows usage sessions to be recorded to better understand errors or usability issues.

Purpose of processing

The data is used solely to:

If a cookie consent banner is introduced in the future, processing will be based on Article 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent).

Data processing in third countries

PostHog is a US company. However, as I use PostHog’s EU cloud, data is generally processed within the European Union. If data is transferred to the USA in exceptional cases, appropriate safeguards are used, in particular Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) in accordance with Article 46 GDPR.

Data processing on behalf of the controller

I have entered into a Data Processing Agreement with PostHog in accordance with Article 28 GDPR.
