3. Data Collection on this Website
Contact Form
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.
Cookies
Our website uses so-called "cookies". Cookies are small text files and do not cause any damage to your device. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Permanent cookies stored on your device remain stored on your device until you delete them or an automatic deletion is performed by your web browser.
Server Log Files
The provider of the pages 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.
4. Purposes of Processing
We process your personal data for the following purposes:
- Processing your contact inquiries
- Communication with you
- Providing and improving our website
5. Recipients of the Data
We use a hosting provider located within the European Union to operate this website. A data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR has been concluded with this provider. We only disclose personal data to other recipients if this is necessary for contract performance, legally required or based on your consent. We do not sell your personal data.
6. Transfer to Third Countries
We do not transfer personal data to countries outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. Our web fonts are hosted locally; no connection is established to third-party providers such as Google Fonts. Should such a transfer become necessary in the future, we will inform you in advance and ensure an adequate level of data protection (e.g. by EU Standard Contractual Clauses).
7. Legal Basis for Processing
We rely on the following legal bases for processing your personal data:
- Contact enquiries – Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual and contractual measures).
- Communication by email or phone – Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in efficient customer communication).
- Server log files – Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in technical security and stable provision of the website).
- Technically necessary cookies – Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in conjunction with Section 25(2)(2) TTDSG (storage required to provide the language preference).
8. Storage Duration
We delete personal data as soon as the respective purpose no longer applies and no statutory retention obligations prevent deletion. Specifically:
- Contact enquiries: 3 years after the end of the calendar year in which the last communication took place.
- Server log files: 7 days; longer retention only for security reasons and solely in anonymised form.
- Language cookie “i18n_redirected”: 12 months, followed by automatic deletion.
Statutory retention obligations (e.g. under commercial or tax law) remain unaffected.
9. Your Rights
You have the following rights:
- Information about your personal data stored by us (Art. 15 GDPR)
- Correction of incorrect data (Art. 16 GDPR)
- Deletion of your data stored by us (Art. 17 GDPR)
- Restriction of data processing, insofar as we are not yet allowed to delete your data due to legal obligations (Art. 18 GDPR)
- Data portability, if you have consented to data processing or have concluded a contract with us (Art. 20 GDPR)

10. Withdrawal of Your Consent
You may withdraw any consent you have given at any time with effect for the future. Simply send us an informal message to the contact details provided in the imprint. The lawfulness of processing carried out prior to the withdrawal remains unaffected.
11. Cookies & Similar Technologies
We only use technically necessary cookies. No consent is required for these cookies (Section 25(2)(2) TTDSG). We will inform you in advance if we introduce optional tracking or marketing technologies.
Necessary Cookies
These cookies ensure the basic functionality of the website. We currently set only the “i18n_redirected” cookie to store your language preference for 12 months. You can delete this cookie at any time via your browser settings.
12. Data Security
We implement organisational and technical security measures to protect your data against manipulation, loss, destruction or unauthorised access. Data transmission takes place exclusively via encrypted TLS connections. Our hosting infrastructure is located in a data centre within the European Union with high security standards.
13. Automated Decision-Making
We do not use automated decision-making or profiling within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR.
