Hi, she’s an orbweaver kind of spider. They usually have their head pointed toward the ground like yours does. No, there isn’t anything to worry about. She’ll stay with her web location unless she runs out of flying insects and moisture. Then she would drop to the ground to search. She won’t bite you unless you have her in contact with your skin and you make her feel trapped or squished. That situation should be easy to avoid.
