The use of our website is generally possible without providing personal data. Insofar as personal data is collected on our pages, this is always done on a voluntary basis. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent. We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet can have security vulnerabilities. A complete protection against access by third parties is not possible.

The provider of this website automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are: browser type and browser version, operating system used, referrer URL, hostname of the accessing computer, time of the server request, and IP address. This data is not merged with other data sources. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest in the secure operation of the website). The data is automatically deleted after 7 days.

4. Contact

If you send us enquiries by e-mail or via the contact form, your details, including the contact data you have provided, will be stored for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures) and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest in responding to your enquiry).

Personal data is stored only for as long as is necessary for the respective processing purpose or statutory retention periods apply.

Server log files are automatically deleted after 7 days. There is no merging with other data sources.
