2. General Information on Data Processing

We process personal data only insofar as necessary to provide our website, process inquiries, fulfill legal obligations, or obtain consent.

The processing of personal data occurs, in particular, on the basis of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), in particular Art. 6 GDPR. Depending on the processing, the legal bases include consent, the performance of a contract or the implementation of pre-contractual measures, compliance with legal obligations, and the pursuit of legitimate interests.

3. Provision of the Website and Server Log Files

When you visit our website, the hosting provider we use automatically processes information that your browser transmits to the server. This may include, in particular:

  • IP address of the requesting device

  • Date and time of access

  • Page or file accessed

  • Amount of data transferred

  • Referrer URL (the previously visited page)

  • Browser used and browser version

  • Operating system used

  • Status messages and error codes

This data is processed to technically provide the website, ensure system security and stability, analyze errors, and prevent misuse.

The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the secure, stable, and efficient provision of our website.

The server log files are stored only for as long as necessary for the stated purposes and are subsequently deleted or anonymized, unless longer storage is required for security reasons or to clarify cases of misuse.

Our hosting provider processes data on our behalf. Where necessary, we have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.

4. Contacting Us by Email

If you contact us by email, we process the personal data you provide. This includes, in particular, your email address, your name if provided, the content of your message, and any other information you voluntarily share with us.

We use this data exclusively to process your inquiry and to communicate with you.

Depending on the content of the inquiry, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, provided it concerns pre-contractual measures or an existing contractual relationship, or on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the appropriate handling of incoming inquiries and communication with interested parties, partners, and other contacts.

We store personal data only as long as is necessary for the respective processing purposes. The specific storage duration depends in particular on the type of data, the purpose of the processing, the existence of a business or communication relationship, legal retention obligations, and any legitimate interests in further storage.

Please note that email communication may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against third-party access during email transmission is not possible.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website may use cookies or similar technologies. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that contain information.

We distinguish between technically necessary cookies and optional cookies.

Technically necessary cookies are required to provide the website's fundamental functions. For example, they may be necessary for technical presentation, security, or the storage of privacy settings. Processing takes place on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the secure and functional provision of our website.

We only use optional cookies, especially for analysis or marketing purposes, if you have given your prior consent. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

If we use a consent management tool, it stores and verifies your privacy settings. In this context, your selection, the time of consent or rejection, technical browser information, and a pseudonymous identifier may be processed.

You can change your cookie settings at any time or withdraw any consent granted with effect for the future. The lawfulness of processing before withdrawal remains unaffected.

6. Web Analysis with Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Analytics enables us to analyze website usage to improve our online offering and better understand which content is relevant to visitors.

Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to analyze your use of our website. This may involve processing information about pages visited, time spent on each page, interactions, technical information about the browser and device, and shortened or pseudonymized IP addresses.

The use of Google Analytics occurs exclusively on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Google Analytics is only activated after you have given consent via our consent banner. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future.

When using Google Analytics, the transfer of personal data to Google companies or service providers in third countries, particularly the USA, cannot be ruled out. Where data is transferred to third countries, it is done on the basis of the data protection safeguards in place for this purpose.

Further information on data processing by Google can be found in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

7. Links to Social Media Profiles

Our website contains links to our profiles on social networks, particularly LinkedIn.

When you click on such a link, you leave our website and are redirected to the provider's platform. Only from this point onwards does the respective provider process personal data on its own responsibility. We have no influence over the type and scope of data processing by the respective platform.

Please inform yourself about data processing directly in the privacy policy of the respective provider.

If we embed content from LinkedIn or other social networks directly into our website in the future, data may be transmitted to the provider as soon as you access the respective page. If necessary, we would only load such embedded content after obtaining your prior consent.

8. No Automated Decision-Making

We do not use your personal data for automated decision-making, including profiling, within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR.

9. Recipients of Personal Data

Personal data is only passed on to third parties if this is necessary to provide the website, process your inquiry, fulfill legal obligations, or protect legitimate interests, or if you have consented.

Recipients may include, in particular:

  • Providers of consent management or analysis services, if used

  • Legal or tax advisors, as necessary in individual cases

  • Authorities, if a legal obligation exists

Where service providers process personal data on our behalf, we conclude data processing agreements with them in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR, where necessary.

10. Storage Duration

We store personal data only as long as is necessary for the respective purposes.

We store data from email inquiries for as long as necessary to process the inquiry, for further communication, or to document the matter. Insofar as a business relationship, project initiation, or other relevant communication arises from the inquiry, the data may be stored for the duration of this relationship or for the documentation purposes required for it. Legal retention obligations and further storage for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims remain unaffected.

Server log files are only stored for as long as necessary to ensure technical operation, system security, and error analysis.

Insofar as legal retention obligations exist, we store the relevant data for the duration of those obligations.
