This website is hosted using Adobe Portfolio, part of Adobe Creative Cloud, provided by:

Adobe Inc. 345 Park Avenue, San Jose, CA 95110, USA

Under Adobe's data processing terms, data processing for customers in the European Area (EU/EEA, Switzerland, and the UK) is consolidated via Adobe Systems Software Ireland Limited, which acts as the initial recipient and data exporter of Personal Data ("Adobe Ireland").

When you visit this website, information is automatically transmitted to and processed on Adobe's servers (so-called server log files), including:

This processing is based on my legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of this website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR), and/or to fulfil the hosting agreement (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).

I have entered into Adobe's standard Data Processing Addendum (DPA) with Adobe, under which Adobe acts as data processor and I remain the data controller for personal data processed in connection with this website.

Adobe Ireland engages further sub-processors, including other Adobe entities, to help provide the Cloud Services. A current list of sub-processors and their locations is published by Adobe at: https://www.adobe.com/go/processing

Adobe Ireland, as data exporter, engages sub-processors located outside the European Area (including in the United States). For these transfers, Adobe Ireland relies on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) as an additional safeguard to ensure an adequate level of data protection pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR, along with supplementary technical and organizational security measures.
