17. Project Questionnaire

For project inquiries I provide an online questionnaire, accessible via an individual, non-public access link. The data processed includes the answers given in the questionnaire (e.g. name, email address, details about the project) as well as voluntarily uploaded files. Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (pre-contractual measures).

The current progress is stored server-side under a random identifier so the questionnaire can be resumed later or the link shared within a team. Anyone with the link can view and change the answers; the link should therefore not be passed on to third parties. Drafts are deleted automatically after 7 days without access.

On submission, the answers are processed on my self-hosted automation platform (n8n) and delivered by email to me and to the email address provided. To summarize and structure the answers I use the AI service Claude by Anthropic PBC, 500 Howard St, San Francisco, CA 94105, USA; for this purpose the answers (excluding uploaded files) are transmitted to Anthropic.
