Privacy Policy

Last updated: 4 September 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how I collect, use, and share information when you visit www.ramdeep.de (the “Site”). I operate this Site as an individual. If anything here is unclear, please contact me.

Who I am

Controller: Ramdeep Singh
Email: ramdeep195@gmail.com

What information I collect

• Information you provide: When you use a contact form or email me (name, email address, message content, and any other information you decide to include).
• Cookies: Small files stored on your device. I use necessary cookies to run the Site and—if you consent—analytics and personalisation/advertising cookies. See “Cookies & similar technologies”.
• Usage data: IP address (shortened/anonymised where possible), browser type, device information, pages viewed, and timestamps. This is typically collected via logs and analytics, and helps me maintain and improve the Site.
• Embedded content: Pages may include third-party content (e.g., fonts, videos). These services may collect data as described in their own policies.

Why I use your information (purposes & legal bases)

• Operate the Site (necessary cookies, security, fraud prevention): Legitimate interests.
• Respond to enquiries you send via the contact form or email: Legitimate interests (to run my portfolio and communicate) or Steps prior to a contract when relevant.
• Improve the Site via analytics: Consent (only if you opt in).
• Personalised content or ads: Consent (only if you opt in).
• Legal compliance (e.g., record-keeping, responding to lawful requests): Legal obligation.

Cookies & similar technologies

I use:

• Strictly necessary cookies – required for basic site functionality (always active).
• Analytics cookies – help me understand site traffic and performance (only with your consent).
• Personalisation/advertising cookies – tailor content or ads (only with your consent).

You can change or withdraw your consent anytime via the cookie banner or settings: Manage cookie preferences. You can also control cookies through your browser settings.

Analytics and service providers

I may share limited data with trusted providers who help me operate the Site (for example, web hosting, analytics, customer communication). These providers can only process your data on my instructions and must protect it.

• Hosting: Vercel – stores the Site and log files.
• Analytics: e.g., Google Analytics – measures traffic and usage (set to respect your consent choices).
• Embedded third parties: e.g., YouTube/Vimeo (videos), Google Fonts/Adobe Fonts (fonts). These services may collect usage data; their processing is governed by their own privacy policies.

International transfers

Some providers may be located outside your country. When transferring personal data from the EEA/UK to countries without an adequacy decision, I rely on appropriate safeguards such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses and additional measures as needed.

How long I keep your data

• Contact enquiries: up to 24 months (or sooner if you ask me to delete, unless I must keep a record for legal reasons).
• Analytics data: retained in aggregate or anonymised form where possible; otherwise for a period set in my analytics tool (typically 14–26 months).
• Cookies: persist according to their individual lifetimes (session or persistent). See your browser for exact expiry dates.

Your rights

You have the right to request access, rectification, erasure, restriction, and portability of your personal data, and to object to processing based on legitimate interests. Where I rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.

Security

I use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

Third-party links

The Site may link to other websites. I am not responsible for their content or privacy practices. Please review their policies.

Changes to this policy

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top indicates the latest revision. Material changes will be highlighted on this page and/or via the cookie banner.
