Purpose of this website
This website is used to present my research, publications, scientific projects, teaching and outreach activities, and related professional information.

What personal data may be collected and why
When you visit this website, limited technical information required to deliver and protect the website may be processed automatically. This can include information such as the IP address, browser information, date and time of access, and requested pages or resources.
These data are processed only as necessary for the technical operation, security, maintenance, and protection of the website.
If you contact me by email or through another communication feature provided on the website, I process the information you choose to provide for the purpose of responding to your communication.
The legal basis for technically necessary processing is the legitimate interest in maintaining a functional and secure website. Information voluntarily provided through communication with me is processed for the purpose of handling that communication.requires privacy information to identify the purposes and legal basis for processing, as well as relevant recipients, retention periods, and user rights.
Comments
If comments are enabled, the information entered in the comment form may be collected together with technical information such as the visitor’s IP address and browser user-agent string for moderation, security, and spam detection.
If Gravatar or a similar profile service is enabled, an anonymised identifier derived from the email address may be sent to that service to determine whether a profile image is associated with it. An approved profile image may then appear publicly alongside the comment.
Comments and associated metadata may be retained for as long as the comment remains published or as otherwise necessary for moderation and administration.
User accounts
If public user registration is enabled, information provided when creating or maintaining an account may be stored for the operation and security of the account.
Registered users may be able to view, correct, or request deletion of their personal information, subject to information that must be retained for administrative, security, or legal purposes.
Media uploads
If visitor uploads are enabled, uploaded files may be publicly accessible.
Users should avoid uploading images containing embedded location information, such as EXIF GPS data, unless they intend that information to be publicly available.
Contact forms
If a contact form is available, information submitted through the form is used to respond to the communication and is not used for advertising or marketing.
Such information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to handle the communication or for legitimate administrative or legal purposes.

The website may use cookies that are technically necessary for its operation, security, user authentication, or preferences.

Technical information may be processed by service providers necessary for the operation and security of the website, such as the web-hosting provider.
Information may also be processed by third-party services explicitly used through optional website features described above.
