Privacy Policy.

General information

The following information provides a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit this website. Personal data is any data that can be used to identify you personally. Detailed information about data protection is provided in the sections below.

Data collection on this website

Who is responsible for data collection?

Data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. The operator's contact details can be found under "Information about the controller" in this Privacy Policy.

How do we collect your data?

Some data is provided by you when you contact us by email or telephone. Other data is collected automatically by the hosting provider when you visit the website. This is primarily technical data such as browser information, operating system, requested page and time of access.

What do we use your data for?

Technical data is processed to provide the website reliably and securely. Information you send to us is processed in order to respond to your request. We do not use analytics, advertising tracking or profiling on this website.

What rights do you have?

You have the right to obtain information about the origin, recipients and purpose of your stored personal data free of charge. You may also request correction or deletion, withdraw consent with future effect, request restriction of processing in certain circumstances, and lodge a complaint with a competent supervisory authority.

IONOS

This website is hosted by IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Str. 57, 56410 Montabaur, Germany ("IONOS"). When you visit this website, IONOS processes technical access data and server log information, which may include IP address information. Further details are available in the IONOS Privacy Policy.

IONOS is used on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in the reliable, secure and technically correct delivery of this website.

Data processing agreement

A data processing agreement under Article 28 GDPR applies to the use of IONOS. It ensures that personal data processed on our behalf is handled only in accordance with our instructions and the requirements of the GDPR.

Data protection

We treat personal data confidentially and in accordance with applicable data protection law and this Privacy Policy. Please note that data transmission over the internet, including email communication, can have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection against access by third parties cannot be guaranteed.

Storage period

Unless a more specific storage period is stated in this Privacy Policy, personal data remains stored until the purpose for processing no longer applies. If you submit a legitimate deletion request or withdraw consent, the data will be deleted unless there are other legally permissible grounds for retaining it. In that case, deletion takes place once those grounds cease to apply.

Legal bases for processing

Depending on the circumstances, processing may be based on consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR, contractual or pre-contractual measures under Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, compliance with a legal obligation under Article 6(1)(c) GDPR, or our legitimate interests under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The applicable basis is explained in the relevant section of this Privacy Policy.

Recipients of personal data

Personal data is disclosed to external recipients only where this is necessary for processing, required by law, supported by a legitimate interest, or otherwise permitted by law. Where a processor acts on our behalf, processing is governed by a valid data processing agreement.

Withdrawal of consent

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time with future effect. The lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal remains unaffected.

Right to lodge a complaint

If you believe that the processing of your personal data infringes the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the EU member state of your habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement.

Data portability

You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or a contract in a commonly used, machine-readable format. Direct transfer to another controller will take place only where technically feasible.

Access, correction and deletion

Within the framework of applicable law, you have the right to obtain information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of processing. Where applicable, you also have the right to request correction or deletion.

Restriction of processing

You may request restriction of processing where:

• you contest the accuracy of the personal data while we verify it;
• processing is unlawful and you request restriction instead of deletion;
• we no longer require the data, but you need it for legal claims; or
• you have objected under Article 21(1) GDPR while the balancing of interests is pending.

SSL/TLS encryption

This website uses SSL/TLS encryption for security and to protect transmitted content. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the use of https:// and the security indicator in your browser.

Objection to unsolicited advertising

We object to the use of contact details published as part of legal notice requirements for unsolicited advertising or informational materials. We reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited promotional communication, including spam email.

Server log files

The hosting provider automatically collects and stores information in server log files that your browser transmits when accessing the website. This may include:

• browser type and browser version;
• operating system;
• referrer URL;
• hostname or IP address information;
• requested page; and
• time of the server request.

This data is not combined with other data sources by us. Processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in the technically correct, secure and reliable operation of the website.

Theme preference stored in your browser

If you use the light/dark theme switch, your selected theme is stored locally in your browser using localStorage. The stored value is limited to the preference light or dark. It is not transmitted to us, is not used for tracking, and can be removed by clearing this website's stored browser data.

This local storage is used solely to remember a setting expressly requested by you and provide the corresponding website appearance.

Cookies, analytics and external fonts

This website does not use analytics or advertising tracking. It does not set cookies. Website fonts are hosted locally and are not loaded from Google Fonts or another external font provider.

Contact by email or telephone

If you contact us by email or telephone, your request and the personal data contained in it are processed in order to respond. We do not disclose this information without a legal basis.

Processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR where the request relates to a contract or pre-contractual measures. In other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in responding effectively to enquiries under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, or on consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR where consent has been requested.

Contact data remains stored until you request deletion, withdraw consent where applicable, or the purpose for storage no longer applies. Mandatory statutory retention requirements remain unaffected.
