You can use our contact form to send us messages. The data you provide (name, email address, subject, message) will be processed for the purpose of answering your inquiry.

The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR (initiation of contract) or Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in answering inquiries).

Emails are delivered via Resend (Resend, Inc., USA). Resend transmits the email to our inbox. Privacy notice: https://resend.com/legal/privacy-policy

We retain messages and your email address for as long as necessary to process your inquiry and any follow-up correspondence.

You can subscribe to our newsletter through the signup form. When you subscribe we process your email address and optionally your first and last name.

Subscription uses the double-opt-in procedure via our delivery service Resend. You will receive a confirmation email; only after clicking the link inside it will your email address be added to our recipient list.

This website embeds videos from the YouTube platform (provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland).

We use YouTube's enhanced privacy mode ("youtube-nocookie"). As a result, simply viewing a page with an embedded video sets no cookies and transmits no personal data to Google. Only when you actively start playing a video is data (notably your IP address) sent to YouTube/Google.

The legal basis for the embed is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in an attractive presentation of our content). When you start a video, this is based on your consent under Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

Google/YouTube privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

This website uses no tracking cookies and no analytics tools. We do not set cookies for marketing or analytics purposes.

The Sanity Studio (admin area at /studio) sets technically necessary session cookies via Sanity. These are only relevant for logged-in editors and not required for visitors using the website.

We use the web fonts "Playfair Display" and "Inter". These are served from our own server; no connection is made to external servers such as Google Fonts. No personal data is transmitted to third parties for fonts.

You have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Right of access (Art. 15 GDPR)
• Right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR)
• Right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR)
• Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
• Right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
• Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR)
• Right to withdraw consent at any time (Art. 7 (3) GDPR)

An informal email to petruiuga@me.com is sufficient to exercise these rights.

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR. Usually the authority of your place of residence or the place of processing is competent. In Baden-Württemberg, this is the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information.
