Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 2026
This website is a personal portfolio. I process as little personal data as possible: there are no cookies, no tracking, no analytics tools, no advertising, no forms, and no fonts or scripts loaded from external services. This notice is based on the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP).
1. Controller
Ferhat Baysal, Thurgau, Switzerland — email: [email protected]
2. Hosting and server log files
The website runs on a server operated by Hetzner Online GmbH in Germany (Falkenstein data centre). On every request, the web server stores technically necessary information in log files: IP address, date and time, requested address, referrer URL, browser identifier (user agent) and HTTP status code.
This is done solely to keep the website secure and stable (e.g. defending against attacks, troubleshooting). Log files are deleted automatically after 30 days at the latest and are not combined with any other data.
3. Cloudflare
For protection against attacks and fast delivery, traffic is routed through the network of Cloudflare, Inc. (USA). Cloudflare processes in particular your IP address and technical connection data. Cloudflare is certified under the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, which the Swiss Federal Council recognises as providing an adequate level of protection; Cloudflare's standard contractual clauses apply in addition. More information: cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.
4. Contact by email
If you email me, I process your details (e.g. name, email address, message content) only to answer your enquiry. My mailbox is operated by Zoho Corporation B.V. in data centres within the EU. The data is deleted once it is no longer needed for your enquiry, unless statutory retention obligations apply.
5. Local storage (service worker)
So that the site loads quickly and also works offline, your browser keeps files of this website (pages, images, fonts) in a local cache on your device. No personal data is sent to me in the process. You can clear this cache at any time in your browser settings.
6. Links to other websites
This website contains plain links, e.g. to Instagram, Google Play or project websites. No content from these providers is embedded; data is only transferred once you click a link. The linked websites are governed by their own privacy policies.
7. Your rights
You have the right to request information about the personal data I process about you, to have it corrected or deleted, and to object to its processing. Simply write to the email address above. You may also lodge a complaint with the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC, edoeb.admin.ch).
8. Changes
I may update this notice if the website or the legal situation changes. The version published here applies.
