2. General Information on Data Processing
We process personal data only to the extent necessary to provide this website, respond to enquiries and comply with legal obligations. The principal legal framework is the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) together with the applicable German data protection rules for digital services.
3. Website Access and Server Log Files
When you access our website, your browser automatically transmits technical information to the server. This may include your IP address, the date and time of access, the requested page or file, referrer URL, browser type, operating system and access provider.
This data is processed to ensure the secure and stable operation of the website, to analyse technical errors and to prevent misuse. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in maintaining a secure and functional website.
4. Contact by Email
If you contact us by email, we process the information you provide in order to respond to your enquiry and deal with any follow-up communication. Depending on the nature of your enquiry, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR for pre-contractual or contractual communication or Article 6(1)(f) GDPR for other enquiries. Statutory retention obligations remain unaffected.
5. Cookies and Consent Management
Our website uses technically necessary cookies and, where you give your consent, optional services. We use “Real Cookie Banner” to manage consent. The tool stores your choices so that we can document whether and for which services consent was granted or refused.
Where information is stored on or accessed from your device for services that are not strictly necessary, this takes place only with your consent in accordance with the applicable German rules on terminal-device access. Any subsequent processing of personal data is, in such cases, generally based on Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.
You can withdraw or change your consent at any time with effect for the future via the cookie settings.
6. Google Fonts
Where Google Fonts are not hosted locally but loaded from Google servers, they are loaded only after you have given consent through the consent-management system. In this context, your IP address may in particular be transmitted to Google.
The legal basis is your consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR together with the applicable German rules governing access to information on terminal devices. You may withdraw your consent at any time via the cookie settings.
7. Analytics and Tracking Services
Analytics or tracking services are used only if they are listed as active services in the cookie settings and you have consented to their use in advance. In such cases, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR together with the applicable German rules governing access to information on terminal devices.
The previous wording referring generally to Google Analytics on the basis of a “legitimate interest” has therefore been removed. If Google Analytics is currently used or added in future, the specific service, provider, retention period, recipients and any international data transfers should also be identified separately in the consent manager and in this Privacy Policy.
8. Recipients of Personal Data
We disclose personal data only where this is necessary for the performance of a contract, required by law, justified by a legitimate interest or based on your consent. Technical service providers may receive access to data as processors where this is necessary for the operation of the website.
9. International Data Transfers
For certain optional services, processing outside the European Union or European Economic Area cannot be ruled out. Where this occurs, personal data is transferred only in accordance with Articles 44 et seq. GDPR, in particular on the basis of an adequacy decision or appropriate safeguards.
10. Retention Periods
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the relevant purpose or as required by statutory retention obligations. Data is then deleted or anonymised.
11. Your Rights
Subject to the statutory requirements, you have in particular the right to:
- access under Article 15 GDPR,
- rectification under Article 16 GDPR,
- erasure under Article 17 GDPR,
- restriction of processing under Article 18 GDPR,
- data portability under Article 20 GDPR,
- object to processing under Article 21 GDPR, and
- withdraw consent at any time with effect for the future under Article 7(3) GDPR.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent data protection supervisory authority.
12. Data Security
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against loss, manipulation and unauthorised access. The website is transmitted using HTTPS encryption.
13. Updates to this Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy is current as of August 2026. We will update it where changes to our website, the services used or applicable legal requirements make this necessary.
