2. Overview of Data Processing

When you visit our website, certain data is automatically collected for technical reasons. We do not use cookies for tracking purposes and we do not collect personal data beyond what is technically necessary to deliver the website.

4. Vercel Analytics

We use Vercel Analytics, a privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics service provided by Vercel Inc. Vercel Analytics does not use cookies, does not collect personal data, and does not track individual users across websites. It provides aggregated, anonymous statistics about page views and performance. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in understanding website usage to improve the service).

5. Content Delivery (Sanity CDN)

Images and content on our website are delivered via the content delivery network (CDN) of Sanity AS, Storgata 8, 0155 Oslo, Norway. When you load a page containing images, your browser makes requests to Sanity’s CDN servers (cdn.sanity.io), which may log your IP address and request metadata. Sanity AS is based in Norway, which is part of the European Economic Area (EEA) and provides an adequate level of data protection under the GDPR. For more information, see https://www.sanity.io/legal/privacy.

6. YouTube Videos (Privacy-Enhanced Mode)

Our website embeds videos from YouTube using the privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com). This service is provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (for users in the EU/EEA).

In privacy-enhanced mode, YouTube does not set cookies on your device merely by loading a page with an embedded video. Data is only transmitted to YouTube when you actively click to play a video. At that point, YouTube may collect your IP address, information about your device, and other usage data. If you are logged in to your Google account, YouTube may associate this data with your account.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in presenting our artistic content in an engaging format). For more information about data processing by Google, see https://policies.google.com/privacy.
