We take the protection of your personal data seriously. Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This privacy notice explains what data we collect when you visit this website, for what purposes, and on what legal basis processing takes place.
Processing is carried out in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable national data protection laws.
This website is hosted by Nestify. When you access the site, the hosting provider processes personal data that is technically necessary to deliver the website and to ensure stable, secure operation.
In particular, the following categories of data may be processed:
Processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interests), as we have a legitimate interest in the secure, stable, and efficient provision of our online services.
The hosting provider automatically collects and stores information in server log files that your browser transmits to us or our host. This data is technically required to deliver the site correctly, detect abuse, and maintain system security.
These data are not merged with other data sources without a separate legal basis. Processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
If you contact us by email or via a contact form, we process the information you provide to handle your request and any follow-up questions. This may include your name, email address, phone number, and the content of your message.
Where your request relates to entering into or performing a contract, processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. In other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in responding effectively to enquiries addressed to us (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).
You may contact us via WhatsApp. Use of this channel is voluntary. You can always reach us by email, phone, or our forms instead.
If you contact us through WhatsApp or consent to contact via WhatsApp, we process the data you provide—such as your phone number, name, message content, and any further information you send—to handle your request and communicate with you. The legal basis is your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) where applicable, or Article 6(1)(b) or (f) GDPR as relevant.
Please note that WhatsApp may process personal data when you use the service, including potentially outside the European Union or European Economic Area. We have limited influence over WhatsApp’s processing. Further information is available in WhatsApp’s privacy policy.
Please avoid sending highly sensitive information via WhatsApp where you can use another channel. For data-sensitive matters we recommend email or another appropriate method.
Our website links to our profiles on external social networks (e.g. LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram). These are plain external links.
When you click a link, you leave our site and are redirected to the respective provider. Personal data is processed there by the platform operator, not by us. We have no control over that processing.
Social network operators may collect and use personal data (e.g. IP address, identifiers, usage behaviour) for their own purposes such as profiling, advertising, or market research, including potentially outside the EU/EEA.
For details on purpose and scope of processing, your rights, and privacy settings, please refer to each provider’s privacy notice.
This website uses cookies and similar technologies where applicable. Strictly necessary cookies may be used to ensure basic site functionality. Where consent is required for specific services, processing occurs only after you give explicit consent via our consent banner.
You may withdraw or adjust your consent at any time with effect for the future. The legal basis for strictly necessary cookies is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR; for cookies and services requiring consent, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.
We host the Google Fonts used on this site locally on our server, so fonts are not loaded from Google’s servers solely for typography.
This website may use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google. Where enabled, it helps us understand how visitors use the site and processes usage data such as page views, session duration, device or browser information, and on-site interactions.
Google Analytics typically uses cookies or similar technologies that can recognise users. Processing takes place only on the basis of your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you can give via our consent banner.
Information collected may be transmitted to and processed on Google servers, including in third countries such as the United States. Data protection standards there may not match EU levels.
Where available and activated, we use privacy-oriented settings such as IP anonymisation and reduced data retention. The exact configuration of our analytics implementation applies.
You can withdraw consent at any time with future effect via our consent tool settings.
For security and to protect confidential content in transit, this site uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the browser address bar beginning with “https://” and the lock icon in the browser chrome.
Where we obtain consent to process personal data, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. Processing necessary for performing a contract or pre-contractual steps is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. Processing required to comply with a legal obligation is based on Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. Where we rely on legitimate interests, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the respective purposes or where statutory retention obligations apply. When the purpose no longer applies or a retention period ends, we routinely delete or restrict processing of the data concerned.
Under applicable law you have the right to:
To exercise these rights, contact us using the details above.
You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you consider that processing of your personal data infringes applicable data protection law (Article 77 GDPR).
We may update this privacy notice to reflect legal requirements or changes to our website and services. The version published at the time of your visit applies.
This website does not currently offer registration, user accounts, or password-protected areas. We therefore do not process personal data for account creation or login management.
