5. Intellectual Property Rights

Unless otherwise stated, the Company owns the intellectual property rights for all material on the website, including text, project descriptions, and images/screenshots of work.

5.1. Limited License — You may view and print pages for your personal, non-commercial use only.

5.2. Prohibitions — You must not republish, sell, or duplicate any content from this site without explicit written consent from the Company.

5.3. External Links — Our website may contain links to third-party websites (e.g., GitHub, LinkedIn, client projects). These links are provided for your convenience and portfolio demonstration only. We have no control over the content or practices of these third-party sites and accept no responsibility for them.

5.4. Portfolio Projects — Projects showcased in the portfolio remain the property of the respective clients or the author, and are displayed here solely for the purpose of demonstrating technical competencies.

6. Third-Party Services (Analytics, Security & Data)

We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous traffic data and analyze website usage. Analytics cookies are activated only after you provide explicit consent via the cookie consent banner displayed on your first visit. Without your consent, no analytics data is collected.

We use Google reCAPTCHA v3 to protect the contact form from automated spam submissions. reCAPTCHA v3 operates invisibly in the background — it analyzes user behavior (such as mouse movements, scrolling, and keypress patterns) and assigns a risk score without displaying any checkbox or visual challenge. This processing is based on our legitimate interest in preventing abuse (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) and does not require prior consent. When the contact form is loaded, reCAPTCHA may set a _GRECAPTCHA cookie and transmit technical data to Google for risk assessment. An attribution notice is displayed on the contact form, linking to Google's Privacy Policy and Google's Terms of Service.

We use Resend as our transactional email service to deliver contact form notifications. Received messages are stored in the website's secure database to enable their management. The data is accessible exclusively to the site administrator, is used strictly for the purpose of resolving your inquiries, and is retained for the duration necessary for their processing.

Through the contact form, personal data (name and email address) is collected solely for the purpose of responding to your inquiries, in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
