Personal data (hereinafter mostly referred to as "data") is processed by us only to the extent necessary and for the purpose of providing a functional and user-friendly website, including its content and the services offered on it.
Pursuant to Article 4(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation, "GDPR"), "processing" means any operation performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, storage, use, disclosure, restriction, erasure or destruction.
With this Privacy Policy, we inform you in particular about the type, scope, purpose, duration and legal basis of the processing of personal data, insofar as we decide alone or jointly with others on the purposes and means of processing. We also inform you about third-party components used to improve security and user experience, where third parties process data under their own responsibility.
This Privacy Policy is structured as follows:
I. Information about us as the controller
II. Rights of users and data subjects
III. Information on data processing

The controller responsible for this website within the meaning of data protection law is:

II. Rights of users and data subjects
With regard to the data processing described below, users and data subjects have the right:
to obtain confirmation as to whether personal data concerning them is being processed and, where that is the case, access to the data, further information on the processing, and a copy of the data (Article 15 GDPR);
to rectification of inaccurate data or completion of incomplete data (Article 16 GDPR);
to erasure of data (Article 17 GDPR) or, where further processing is necessary under Article 17(3) GDPR, to restriction of processing (Article 18 GDPR);
to receive the data concerning them that they have provided and to transmit it to another controller (data portability) (Article 20 GDPR);
to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if they believe that their data is processed in breach of data protection law (Article 77 GDPR).
Where applicable, we are obliged to inform recipients to whom we have disclosed personal data about any rectification or erasure of data or restriction of processing pursuant to Articles 16, 17(1) and 18 GDPR, unless this is impossible or involves disproportionate effort. Data subjects have the right to information about these recipients.
In addition, users and data subjects have the right to object to future processing of their data pursuant to Article 21 GDPR where processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. In particular, an objection to processing for direct marketing purposes is permitted.
III. Information on data processing
We delete or restrict data processed when using our website as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies, provided that no statutory retention obligations prevent deletion and no different provisions are set out below.

For technical reasons, in particular to ensure a secure and stable website, data is transmitted to us or to our hosting provider by your internet browser. This data may include the date and time of access, pages accessed, the amount of data transferred, the requesting provider, the browser and operating system used, and the IP address.

Our website uses cookies. Cookies are small text files or similar technologies stored on your device by your browser. Cookies can be technically necessary for the operation and security of the website. In addition, third-party services embedded on the website may use cookies.
Legal basis: Where cookies are necessary to provide the website and its functions securely and reliably, processing is based on our legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). Where cookies are required for initiating or performing a contract, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.
Where consent is required for certain cookies or similar technologies (for example, analytics cookies), the legal basis is consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw consent at any time with effect for the future.

Contact enquiries (contact form / email)
If you contact us via the contact form or by email, we process the data you provide (for example, name, email address and the content of your message) to handle and respond to your enquiry.
Providing this data is necessary to process your request. Without it we may not be able to respond, or only to a limited extent.
Legal basis: Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, where your enquiry relates to pre-contractual steps or the performance of a contract. Otherwise, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in communicating with website visitors and processing enquiries).
Storage period: We delete the data once your enquiry has been conclusively handled, unless statutory retention obligations apply (for example, if the enquiry leads to a contractual relationship).
Linking to social media via icon or text link (LinkedIn, X)
Our website contains icons or links to our presences on the social networks listed below. The integration is done via a link only. This prevents an automatic connection to the respective network’s servers when our website is accessed. Only when you click the icon or link will you be redirected to the relevant social network.
After you are redirected, the respective provider processes information about you (for example, IP address, date, time and the page visited). If you are logged into your user account for the respective network at that time, the provider may be able to assign the information to your account. If you want to prevent this, please log out before clicking the icon and configure your privacy settings in the relevant network.
