2. Nature and Purpose of the Website
grigoryan.info is a personal portfolio website. Its primary purpose is to present my professional and academic background, qualifications, certifications, projects, events, and areas of professional activity.
The website does not provide user accounts, payment functions, newsletters, or commenting features.
3. Hosting and Server Log Files
This website and its associated email services are operated using a hosting service provider. The hosting service provider processes personal data on my behalf in accordance with Article 28 GDPR.
When you access the website, the following technical data may be processed in server log files:
- the IP address of the accessing device;
- the date and time of access;
- the page or file requested;
- the amount of data transferred and the HTTP status code;
- the previously visited page or referrer URL;
- the browser and browser version used; and
- the operating system of the accessing device.
This processing is necessary to provide the website securely and without technical errors, to detect and prevent attacks, and to analyze technical problems.
The legal basis for this processing is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. My legitimate interest lies in maintaining the secure, reliable, and functional operation of this website.
The data is deleted when it is no longer required for these purposes. It may be retained for a longer period where necessary to investigate a security incident, prevent attacks, or comply with statutory retention obligations.
4. Technically Necessary Session Cookie
The Joomla content management system used by this website sets a technically necessary session cookie. The cookie contains a randomly generated session identifier and supports the secure and technically correct operation of the website.
The cookie is not used for analytics, advertising, or the creation of user profiles and is generally deleted when the browser session ends.
The cookie is stored on the basis of Section 25(2)(2) of the German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG). Where personal data is processed in connection with the cookie, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
5. Locally Hosted Fonts and Icons
The fonts and Font Awesome icons used on this website are provided locally through the website’s own web server. Visiting this website therefore does not establish a connection to Google Fonts or other external font service providers.
6. Contact by Email
If you contact me by email, the information you provide will be processed. This may include your email address, your name, the content of your message, and any other information you provide voluntarily.
The data is processed for the purpose of handling and responding to your inquiry on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. If your inquiry concerns the initiation or performance of a contractual relationship, Article 6(1)(b) GDPR also applies.
The information you provide will be deleted once your inquiry has been fully resolved, unless statutory retention obligations or legitimate interests require it to be retained for a longer period.
7. External Links and Social Media Profiles
This website contains ordinary links to external websites and social media profiles, including LinkedIn, X, YouTube, and GitHub. These links are not embedded social media plugins or embedded third-party content.
Simply visiting this website does not establish an automatic connection to the respective platforms through these links. Only when you click an external link do you leave this website. The external provider may then process data, particularly your IP address. The respective provider is responsible for this processing.
8. No Analytics, Advertising, or Tracking Services
This website currently does not use analytics tools, advertising tracking, affiliate tracking, marketing cookies, newsletter systems, or embedded content from external platforms.
9. Encrypted Transmission
This website uses SSL or TLS encryption. This protects data transmitted between your browser and the web server against unauthorized access by third parties.
10. Recipients of Personal Data
Personal data may be disclosed to hosting and email service providers engaged by me where this is necessary for the technical operation of the website or the processing of messages. These service providers process data on my behalf.
Personal data will be disclosed to public authorities or other public bodies only where there is a legal obligation to do so.
11. Transfers to Third Countries
The operation of this website currently does not involve the transfer of personal data to countries outside the European Union or the European Economic Area.
If you voluntarily follow an external link to a platform outside the European Union, the privacy policy of the respective provider applies.
12. Your Data Protection Rights
Subject to the applicable legal requirements, you have the right to:
- obtain access to your personal data under Article 15 GDPR;
- request the rectification of inaccurate data under Article 16 GDPR;
- request the erasure of your data under Article 17 GDPR;
- request the restriction of processing under Article 18 GDPR;
- exercise your right to data portability under Article 20 GDPR; and
- object to the processing of your data under Article 21 GDPR.
You may exercise these rights by contacting me at the email address provided above.
13. Right to Lodge a Complaint
Under Article 77 GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. In particular, you may contact the supervisory authority responsible for your habitual residence, your place of work, or the place of the alleged data protection infringement.
14. Automated Decision-Making
No automated decision-making, including profiling, takes place.
15. Updates to This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy will be updated if the technical features of the website or the applicable legal requirements change.
