Privacy Policy

The German version is legally binding.

Last updated: November 1, 2026

1. Controller

The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is:
Luca Scheuvens, Buggestraße 21, 12163 Berlin, Germany
Email: mail@lucascheuvens.de
Privacy inquiries: datenschutz@lucascheuvens.de

2. Overview

This website is a static information site that I operate myself. It uses no advertising services, no social media plugins and no contact forms, and it does not load fonts or images from third-party servers. Google Analytics is only used for usage statistics if you consent in the cookie banner (see section 6). Videos are embedded via YouTube and are only loaded after you click on them (see section 5). Without your consent or click, no data is sent to these providers. The following explains which data is processed when you visit the site or contact me.

3. Hosting and server data

I operate the website myself on my own server in Germany. There is no external hosting provider.

When you visit the site, the server technically needs to process your IP address as well as the date, time and requested page in order to deliver the page to your browser. I do not store access logs containing this information. Only technical error messages from the server, which may contain your IP address (for example in case of failed connections), are logged temporarily and deleted after 7 days.

The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in the secure and error-free operation of the site). The data is not combined with other data sources.

4. Contact by email

If you email me, I process the data you send (such as your name, email address and the content of your message) to answer your request. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR if your request relates to a contract or pre-contractual measures, and otherwise Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in answering inquiries). I keep correspondence so that I can refer back to it later and prove arrangements. For business transactions, statutory retention periods also apply (for example under commercial and tax law). Inquiries that do not lead to a collaboration are kept only as long as it makes sense for possible follow-up questions.

I process my emails through STRATO GmbH, Otto-Ostrowski-Straße 7, 10249 Berlin, Germany, with which I have concluded a data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR.

5. External links and videos

This site links to external services such as crew united, Instagram, LinkedIn, IMDb and C-Quadrat Productions. These are plain links. No data is transmitted to these providers until you click one. After that, the privacy policy of the respective provider applies.

Videos are embedded via YouTube in enhanced privacy mode, a service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). The player is only loaded after you click “Load video”. Only then does your browser transmit data (in particular your IP address and browser and device information) to Google. Cookies or similar technologies may also be used. The data may be transferred to Google LLC in the USA, which is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. The legal basis is your consent by clicking (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, Section 25 (1) TDDDG). It applies only to the respective page view. More in Google's privacy policy.

6. Cookie banner and Google Analytics

On your first visit, a cookie banner asks for your consent to audience measurement. Acceptance and refusal are equally easy, and the site can be used fully either way. Your decision is stored for 12 months in your browser's local storage, which is technically necessary (Section 25 (2) no. 2 TDDDG). You can change or withdraw it at any time via “Cookie settings” in the footer, which deletes the Google Analytics cookies. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out until then.

With your consent, Google Analytics 4 (Google, see section 5) is used to analyze website usage. This sets cookies with a lifetime of up to 2 years and processes pseudonymous usage data, such as pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser information and a random identifier. IP addresses are not stored. Google signals and advertising features are disabled. The data is deleted after 2 months, though aggregated reports without personal reference may be kept longer.

A transfer to Google LLC in the USA is possible. Google LLC is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. A data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR is in place. The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, Section 25 (1) TDDDG).

7. Your rights

Under the GDPR, you have the right to:

• access your personal data (Art. 15),
• rectification of inaccurate data (Art. 16),
• erasure (Art. 17) and restriction of processing (Art. 18),
• data portability (Art. 20),
• object to processing based on legitimate interests (Art. 21),
• withdraw any consent given, with effect for the future (Art. 7 (3)).

To exercise your rights, an email to datenschutz@lucascheuvens.de is sufficient. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. The authority responsible for me is the Berlin Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (Berliner Beauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit), Alt-Moabit 59–61, 10555 Berlin, Germany.

8. Changes

This policy may be updated if the website or the legal situation changes. The current version on this page applies.
