3. Contact & Request Form
If you contact me via email or the request form, your provided data (email address, phone number if given, project description) will be stored for the purpose of processing your inquiry and for follow-up questions. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR (pre-contractual measures). Data will be deleted after six months unless a contractual relationship arises. I will not share this data without your consent.

The hosting provider automatically collects and stores information in server log files that your browser transmits:
- Browser type and version

This data is not combined with other data sources. I reserve the right to review this data retrospectively if specific indications of illegal use become known.
5. Instagram Feed
This website displays posts from my Instagram profile via the Instagram Graph API, operated by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland. When the Instagram feed is loaded, a connection to Meta's servers is established, which may transfer your IP address to Meta. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest in presenting current portfolio work). For more information, see Meta's privacy policy at https://privacycenter.instagram.com/policy.
6. Online Shop & Customer Accounts
When you create a customer account, I store your email address and a securely hashed password (no plain-text storage). Purchase history (product IDs, date, price paid) is stored to enable re-downloads. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR.

8. Analytics, Marketing & Tracking
Google Tag Manager: We use Google Tag Manager (provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) as the technical container for the services below. The Tag Manager itself does not collect personal data. Tags only load after you give consent for the relevant category. We use Google Consent Mode v2: without your consent, all storage categories (analytics_storage, ad_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization, functionality_storage, personalization_storage) are set to “denied”, so no cookies are stored and no personal data is transmitted to Google.
Google Analytics 4 (analytics category): With your consent, GA4 collects anonymized data about page views, session duration, scroll depth, and origin. IP addresses are anonymized. Data may be transferred to Google LLC servers in the US; Google LLC is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR (consent). Privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy
Google Ads & Conversion Tracking (marketing category): If you consent to the marketing category, tags for Google Ads are activated. They measure whether a visit came from one of our ads and whether subsequent actions (inquiry, purchase) occur. Personalised advertising and remarketing may also be enabled. Provider: Google Ireland Limited. You can revoke this consent at any time via the cookie banner (footer link “Cookies”).
Umami Analytics (analytics category): Self-hosted, privacy-friendly open-source web analytics on our own server (analytics.jk3da.com). Umami does not store cookies, collects no personal data, and transfers no data to third parties. Only anonymous usage statistics are recorded. Activation happens only with your consent to the analytics category.
Microsoft Clarity (analytics category): With your consent, Microsoft Clarity records anonymized session replays and generates click/scroll heatmaps to help us identify usability issues. Provider: Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited, One Microsoft Place, South County Business Park, Leopardstown, Dublin 18, Ireland. Data may be transferred to Microsoft Corporation servers in the US; Microsoft Corporation is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. Sensitive form inputs are automatically masked. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR (consent). Privacy policy: privacy.microsoft.com/privacystatement
Your consent: Your selection is stored locally in your browser (localStorage key cookie_consent_v2). Before consent, no tracking occurs — enforced via Consent Mode v2. You can change your selection any time via the link in the footer.
