The controller responsible for data processing on this website under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is:

Email: hello@whyyoustudio.com

I am not required to appoint a data protection officer.

2. The short version

JENLOG is a blog. You can read everything without an account, a signup, or a single tracking cookie. Some data is still processed technically when you visit. You’ll find all of it below.

3. Hosting

This website is built and hosted with Framer, provided by Framer B.V., Rozengracht 207B, 1016 LZ Amsterdam, the Netherlands. When you open a page, Framer processes on my behalf the data your browser needs to deliver it. I have a data processing agreement with Framer under Art. 28 GDPR.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. My legitimate interest is a secure, reliable, and fast website.

4. Server log files

Every visit automatically creates technical log data, including:

  • IP address

  • date and time of access

  • page or file requested

  • referring URL

  • browser type and version

  • operating system

  • amount of data transferred

This data is used only to run the website and protect it from misuse and attacks. It is not combined with other data sources. Framer stores it only as long as needed for these purposes.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. My legitimate interest is the secure and stable operation of this website.

5. Visitor statistics (Framer Analytics)

I use Framer’s built-in analytics to see how many people visit and which articles they read. According to Framer, Framer Analytics sets no cookies and stores no identifiers on your device. I only see aggregated figures, such as page views, referring sites, countries, browsers, and device types. I cannot identify you as an individual.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. My legitimate interest is understanding which articles are read so I can improve the blog.

6. Fonts

The fonts on this website are served from Framer’s own servers. No connection to Google or any other font provider is made when you load a page.

7. Contacting me by email

If you email me, I process your email address, your name if you include it, and the content of your message to respond to you. I delete this data once your inquiry is resolved, unless I am legally required to keep it.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your message concerns a potential collaboration or contract. Otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, based on my legitimate interest in responding to inquiries.

My email inbox is provided by Namecheap, Inc., 4600 East Washington Street, Suite 305, Phoenix, AZ 85034, USA. Namecheap processes your messages on my behalf under a data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR. The email servers are located in the USA. This transfer is based on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or the EU–US Data Privacy Framework.

8. Cookies and tracking

This website does not use marketing or tracking technologies such as Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, or TikTok Pixel. If I add services in the future that use non-essential cookies or similar technologies, I will update this policy and ask for your consent where required.

9. Links to other websites

Articles may link to external websites, such as my community on Skool, my studio’s website, or social media profiles. No data is passed to these websites until you click a link. After that, the privacy policy of the respective website applies.

10. Transfers outside the EU

Framer may use sub-processors outside the European Union, including in the USA. The current list is published in Framer’s Trust Center. Transfers to the USA are based on the European Commission’s adequacy decision for the EU–US Data Privacy Framework or on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, which are part of Framer’s data processing addendum.

11. Storage period

Unless a specific storage period is stated in this policy, I keep personal data only as long as needed for the purpose it was collected for. Legal retention obligations remain unaffected.

12. Further information

You are not legally or contractually required to provide personal data. However, this website cannot be displayed without the technical data described in section 4. If you contact me, I need your email address to reply. I do not use automated decision-making, including profiling, within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR.

13. Your rights

Under the GDPR, you have the right to:

  • access the personal data I hold about you (Art. 15 GDPR)

  • have inaccurate data corrected (Art. 16 GDPR)

  • have your data deleted (Art. 17 GDPR)

  • restrict processing (Art. 18 GDPR)

14. Your right to object (Art. 21 GDPR)

If I process your data based on legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR), you have the right to object at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation. I will then stop processing your data, unless I can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

15. Right to lodge a complaint

Under Art. 77 GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. The authority responsible for me is:

Berliner Beauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit

16. Changes to this policy

I update this policy whenever the services I use, the way I process data, or the legal requirements change. The current version published on this page always applies.
