3. Collection and Processing of Data
During your visit to our website, certain technical information is automatically collected, including your IP address. This data is stored in so-called server log files in order to ensure the stability and security of our website. The legal basis for this processing is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, based on our legitimate interest in maintaining a secure and functional website.

4. Communication via Our Website
If you contact us using the email links provided on the website, the information you submit will be used exclusively to process your inquiry. This data will be retained for a maximum of six months in order to be able to respond to any follow-up questions. Your data will only be shared with third parties with your express consent. Processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures).

5. Use of Cookies and Tracking
Our website deliberately does not use cookies or comparable tracking mechanisms. We do not use any analytics software or external services that could collect or evaluate personal data. Your visit therefore remains completely anonymous.

Server logs are stored for up to one year by default. In the case of email correspondence, the relevant data is automatically deleted six months after the matter has been resolved.

As a data subject, you are entitled to comprehensive rights: you may request information about the data we hold about you, request its correction or deletion, request that processing be restricted, and receive your data in a structured format. You also have the right to withdraw any consent given, as well as the right to object to the processing of your data. Since we process your data on the basis of our legitimate interest, you may object at any time. In this case, we will cease processing unless there are compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, or the processing serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims.Exercising these rights is free of charge and straightforward. For identity verification purposes, we may request proof of your identity where necessary. Please contact us using the contact details provided above.
