This website is hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS), including AWS S3 and Amazon CloudFront. When you visit this site, AWS may automatically collect and store server log data including:

• Your IP address (anonymised after transmission)
• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• Referring URL
• Date and time of access

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest) to ensure the technical operation and security of the website. Log data is retained for a maximum of 30 days.

AWS is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. For more information, see the AWS Privacy Notice.

This website does not use cookies, analytics tools, tracking pixels, or any form of user profiling. No accounts are created, no personal information is collected, and no user data is stored by this website.

If you interact with an embedded third-party service (see Section 4), that service's own privacy policy applies.

Calendly

The Contact page links to a scheduling page provided by Calendly LLC (San Francisco, USA). If you choose to book a meeting, Calendly will collect your name and email address to confirm the appointment. This is processed by Calendly under their own Privacy Policy. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual measures at your request).

LinkedIn

This site contains links to LinkedIn. Clicking these links takes you to LinkedIn's platform, which is governed by LinkedIn's Privacy Policy. No LinkedIn data is collected by this website.

Because this website does not collect or store personal data beyond server logs (see Section 2), most GDPR data subject rights do not apply in practice. If you have any privacy-related questions, please contact me via the Contact Page.

You may also contact the supervisory authority for Berlin: Berliner Beauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit.

This privacy policy may be updated to reflect changes in legal requirements. The current version is always available at aaronwest.de/privacy-policy.html.
