When you contact us via contact form or email, we store your information (name, email address, message) to process your inquiry and for any subsequent correspondence. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.

2.2 Server Log Files

Our hosting provider automatically collects information transmitted by your browser (so-called server log files). This includes: browser type/version, operating system used, referrer URL, hostname of the accessing computer, time of the server request, and IP address. This data cannot be attributed to specific individuals and is not merged with other data sources. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in the operation of the website).

3. Cookies & Tracking

We use cookies to ensure the functionality of our website.

  • Necessary Cookies: Essential for the operation of the website (e.g., session cookies).
  • Analytics Cookies (Matomo/Self-Hosted): We use self-hosted analytics software to understand user behavior anonymously and improve our content. IP addresses are anonymized before being stored. You can object to the analysis.

The legal basis for necessary cookies is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. For analytics cookies, we obtain your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR).

4. Data Disclosure to Third Parties

As a rule, we do not disclose your personal data to third parties, except:

  • To service providers (e.g., hosting provider, email dispatch) who are strictly contractually bound (data processing according to Art. 28 GDPR).
  • When we are legally obligated to do so (e.g., to law enforcement agencies).

Transfer to third countries outside the EU/EEA does not take place unless there is an adequacy decision by the EU Commission or appropriate safeguards (e.g., standard contractual clauses) are in place.

6. Storage Duration

Personal data is deleted as soon as the purpose for storage ceases to apply or you exercise your right of withdrawal. Legal retention obligations (e.g., under commercial or tax law) may require longer storage. In these cases, the data will be deleted after the statutory deadlines expire.

Server log files are deleted after a maximum of 7 days.
