2. Processing Overview

When you visit this website, the processing may include technical connection data, your privacy and cookie settings, and the content of a contact request. The main legal bases are Article 6(1) GDPR and, for access to information on a user’s device, Section 25 TDDDG.

3. Hosting and Server Log Files

This website is provided through IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Str. 57, 56410 Montabaur, Germany. When the website is accessed, the hosting provider processes technically required server log files. This may include IP address, date and time of access, requested file, amount of data transferred, referrer, browser type, and operating system. The purpose is secure delivery of the website, error analysis, and abuse prevention.

• Legal basis: Article 6(1)(f) GDPR
• Legitimate interest: secure, stable, and technically functional website operation
• Recipient: IONOS SE as hosting service provider
• Retention period: only as long as required for security, error analysis, and operation; otherwise according to the technical settings and requirements of the hosting provider

4. Contact by Email and Contact Form

If you contact us directly by email, we process your details to handle the request, communicate with you, and, where relevant, prepare a contract or service relationship.

The contact form on this static site does not submit form data to a website server. Instead, the browser prepares an email draft locally in your mail application. Your data is only transmitted to us if you decide to actually send that email.

• Legal basis: Article 6(1)(b) GDPR where the request is related to pre-contractual steps; additionally Article 6(1)(f) GDPR
• Retention period: until the request is completed and thereafter only as long as needed for follow-up communication or legal retention obligations

5. Cookies, Local Storage, and Consent Management

This website currently does not use analytics tracking and does not load external third-party scripts or embeds. It provides a privacy and settings mechanism that stores your selection locally in the browser. This allows the website to remember that the notice has been shown.

• Necessary local storage: needed to remember the selected setting and avoid showing the notice on every page visit
• Legal basis for essential storage: Section 25(2) No. 2 TDDDG; for subsequent processing Article 6(1)(f) GDPR
• Optional categories: currently not active; analytics tools, tracking, and external media are not loaded
• Withdrawal: at any time through the “Cookie settings” button in the footer of the main pages or through the corresponding link on the legal subpages
• Retention period: until the preference is changed or the Local Storage entry is deleted in the browser

6. Third-Party Scripts, Embeds, and External Services

In the current version, no analytics services, no external embeds, and no third-party scripts are loaded. If external services are introduced later, they must be assigned to a consent category before going live and must also be documented in this Privacy Policy. Until active and specifically informed consent is given, such resources remain blocked.

If services from third countries, for example the United States, are introduced later, they may only be activated with an appropriate legal basis and the required information about transfer mechanisms, recipients, and risks.

7. Recipients

Recipients of personal data may include the hosting provider IONOS SE, email providers, and technical service providers where this is required for operating the website or processing an inquiry. Data is not shared for marketing purposes without an appropriate legal basis.
