How I handle your data.

This site is run by Stefan Ojanen, based in Berlin, Germany. If you have a question about your data, or want it changed or deleted, email sojanen@gmail.com and I will handle it myself.

Only what you type into the contact form: your name, your email address, the event or organisation you are writing about, and, if you add them, a date, a place and a message.

If you arrived from a campaign, the link you clicked carries tags in the address bar naming that campaign. Those tags are stored alongside your enquiry, so I know which piece of work brought you here. They describe the advert, not you, and they are only recorded if you submit a form.

Reading the site is covered under Cookies and measurement below. No advertising cookie is set unless you accept one.

To reply to you, and to understand what you are asking before I do. That is the whole basis for keeping it.

I do not add you to a mailing list or send you marketing email. An earlier version of this site offered an optional email series to people who ticked a box for it; that series has ended, and no more of those emails will be sent.

Page views are counted through Vercel Web Analytics. It sets no cookie, stores no identifier and does not follow you between sites, so it runs without asking. It tells me a page was viewed, not who viewed it.

What needs your permission is Google Analytics and the LinkedIn Insight Tag. Both set their own cookies and let me see which pages and campaigns lead to enquiries. They load only if you press Accept. Decline, or ignore the banner, and neither is added to the page at all rather than added and switched off.

Your answer is kept in your own browser, not on my server. You can change it at any time with the Cookie settings link at the bottom of the site, and clearing your browser data resets it.

Form submissions are stored in a Supabase database hosted in the EU. The email that tells me a message has arrived goes through Resend, and so does the confirmation link if you ask me to delete your details.

I do not sell your details, share them with advertisers, or pass them to anyone else.

Enquiries are kept while the conversation is live and for a reasonable period after, so I have a record of what was discussed. If you ask me to delete your details, I will delete them.

A record of a deletion request is kept after the deletion itself, showing that it was made and actioned. It holds the address the request was for and nothing else, because without it I could not show a request had been honoured.

You can ask what I hold about you, ask for it to be corrected or deleted, or object to how it is used. You can also complain to your national data protection authority if you think I have handled something badly.

Deletion you can do yourself, without waiting for me: enter your address below, click the link I send you, and everything held for it is removed. The confirmation step exists so that nobody can delete someone else's details by typing their address in.

For anything else, email sojanen@gmail.com and I will handle it myself.
