When you visit this website, the web server technically processes information necessary to deliver the page, which may include your IP address, date and time of access, the page requested, the amount of data transferred, your browser and operating system, the referrer URL, and the status of the request.
This processing is necessary to ensure the secure and stable operation of the website and to detect technical errors or misuse, based on our legitimate interest in a functioning web presence.
For statistical analysis and to improve this website, we use the open-source web analytics software Matomo, which is self-hosted. Data collected through Matomo is therefore not transferred to Matomo or any other external analytics provider.
Matomo is used on this website without tracking cookies, and visitor IP addresses are anonymized. A direct identification of individual visitors is therefore not possible for us.
This processing serves to statistically evaluate the use of our website and improve our offering, based on our legitimate interest in the analysis and optimization of our web presence.
The content of this website (texts, images, and downloadable files) is managed via Sanity, a third-party content management platform. Files you download from this website (e.g. course materials, working papers, publications, CV) are delivered from Sanity's content delivery network.
Depending on the applicable law, you generally have the right to request information about, correction of, or deletion of your personal data, as well as the right to restrict or object to processing and to data portability.
If you believe that the processing of your personal data violates data protection law, you may lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority — in Switzerland, the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC); in Austria and Germany, the respective national or state data protection authority.
If you have questions about data protection or wish to exercise your rights, please contact us using the details above.
