YouTube Video Integration

This website embeds videos hosted by YouTube (a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland).

To protect your privacy, embedded YouTube videos are integrated using YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode ("nocookie" domain) where available, or loaded only after interaction/consent. When you visit a page with an embedded YouTube video, a connection to YouTube's servers is established, informing YouTube which of my pages you have visited. YouTube also processes your IP address.

The legal basis for embedding YouTube videos is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR (via the website's cookie/consent banner) or my legitimate interest in presenting portfolio videos effectively pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Data transfers to Google LLC in the USA are governed by the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.
