Privacy Policy
This privacy policy is provided in English for convenience. The legally binding version is the German “Datenschutzerklärung”.
1. Controller
The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is:
Yousif Paulus Graf-Adolf-Str. 2 51065 Köln Germany Email: inquiries@yousifpaulus.dev
2. Hosting
This website is hosted on servers operated by Hetzner Online GmbH (Industriestr. 25, 91710 Gunzenhausen, Germany) in a data centre within the European Union. Processing serves the secure and stable provision of the website on the basis of my legitimate interest (Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR).
Technically necessary server log data is generated when the site is accessed. My own application logs do not store IP addresses. A data processing agreement (Art. 28 GDPR) is in place with the hosting provider.
3. Contact form
When you send me a request via the contact form, I process the data you provide: name, email address, optionally your company, the selected budget range, and your message.
I process this data solely to respond to your request and to initiate a possible project. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual measures) and Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR (my legitimate interest in responding to enquiries).
To deliver the form message to my inbox I use the service Resend (Resend, Inc., USA) as a processor. This may involve a transfer to the USA, safeguarded by appropriate measures (EU standard contractual clauses).
I store your enquiry until it has been fully dealt with and then delete it, unless statutory retention obligations require otherwise.
4. No cookies, no tracking
This website uses no cookies, no analytics tool, and no third-party tracking or advertising services. No profiling takes place.
Fonts are served locally from the server (self-hosted) and not fetched from an external service (e.g. Google Fonts). Visiting the site therefore transmits no personal data to third parties for rendering.
5. Your rights
Under the GDPR you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
- Access to the data processed (Art. 15 GDPR)
- Rectification of inaccurate data (Art. 16 GDPR)
- Erasure (Art. 17 GDPR)
- Restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
- Data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
- Objection to processing (Art. 21 GDPR)
To exercise these rights, an informal message to inquiries@yousifpaulus.dev is sufficient.
6. Right to lodge a complaint
You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. The authority responsible for me is the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of North Rhine-Westphalia (LDI NRW), Kavalleriestr. 2–4, 40213 Düsseldorf.
7. SSL/TLS encryption
For security reasons this website uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the “https://” in your browser’s address bar.
