2. General
This privacy policy explains what personal data we process when you visit adrianphotography.de, for what purposes, and what rights you have. Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual.
3. Hosting and visiting the website
When you access this website, the hosting provider automatically processes information that your browser transmits (e.g. IP address, date and time of the request, amount of data transferred, browser type and version). This processing is necessary to deliver the website, ensure stability and security, and analyse errors, and is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interests in a secure and functional website).
Where a data processing agreement has been concluded with the hosting provider, processing takes place within that framework.
4. Contact by email
If you contact us by email, we process the information you provide (e.g. email address and message content) to handle your request. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (contractual or pre-contractual measures) or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in responding to enquiries).
Data will be deleted once your request has been fully handled, unless statutory retention obligations require otherwise.
5. Cookies and consent
We use cookies and similar technologies where technically necessary or where you have given consent. Your cookie preferences may be stored in the browser (e.g. localStorage) so that your choice can be respected on future visits.
For non-essential cookies and for the services listed below (Google Analytics, Google Ads), we obtain your consent via the cookie banner. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR in conjunction with Section 25 of the German Telecommunications Telemedia Data Protection Act (TTDSG). You may withdraw consent at any time with future effect by clearing stored site data in your browser and revisiting the site, or by contacting us.
6. Google Analytics 4
This website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies and processes information about how you use this website (e.g. pages viewed, duration, interactions, technical data such as a truncated IP address, and device and browser information).
Google Analytics is only activated if you consent via the cookie banner. The legal basis is your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25 TTDSG.
In Google Analytics, the retention period for user and event data is set to 14 months. After that period, the relevant data is deleted or anonymised at Google as provided for by the service.

7. Google Ads (conversion measurement)
If you have given consent, Google Ads may be used to measure advertising effectiveness and conversions. Cookies may be set and usage data processed. The provider is also Google (see section 6). The legal basis is your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25 TTDSG.
8. Google Fonts
To display fonts consistently, Google Fonts may be loaded when you visit the site. Your IP address may be transmitted to Google’s servers. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in a technically coherent and visually consistent website).
