Questions about this policy or your data can be directed to the contact form.
This is a personal portfolio website. It does not run analytics software, advertising trackers, social media pixels, or any external font services. The following is a complete overview of data processing that does take place.
| Source | Data involved | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Contact form | Name, email address, LinkedIn profile (optional), reason for contact, message | Responding to your enquiry |
| Browser storage | Cookie preference | Site functionality |
| Hosting server | IP address, browser type, pages visited (server logs) | Security & site performance |
The contact page includes a form that collects your name, email address, optionally your LinkedIn profile URL, your reason for contact, and a message. Submitting the form sends this data directly to Frank van de Koppel via server-side mail handling, powered by Kirby CMS running on TransIP servers in the Netherlands.
Your data is used solely to respond to your enquiry and is not shared with third parties, added to any mailing list, or used for any other purpose. The legal basis is your explicit consent, given via the checkbox on the form (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR).
You can request deletion of any message data at any time via the contact form.
This site does not set tracking or advertising cookies. It uses localStorage – browser-based storage that does not transmit data to any server – for the following functional purpose only:
| Key | Type | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
| cookie_accepted | localStorage | Remembers that you have dismissed the cookie notice | Until browser storage is cleared |
This value is not shared with any third party. You can clear it at any time through your browser settings.

The site is built on Kirby CMS, developed by Bastian Allgeier GmbH, based in Mannheim, Germany. Kirby is a flat-file system – it stores no visitor data in a database. Contact form submissions are handled server-side and delivered directly by email; no submission data is retained in the CMS.
