1. Controller

The controller within the meaning of the GDPR is:

2. General information on data processing

We process the personal data of our users only insofar as this is necessary to provide a functional website as well as our content and services. As a rule, we process personal data only with the user's consent or where processing is permitted by statutory provisions.

Legal bases

Where we obtain consent for processing operations, Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR serves as the legal basis. For processing required to fulfil a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures, Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR applies. Where processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest, Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

3. Hosting and server log files

This website is hosted by Netlify (Netlify, Inc., 44 Montgomery Street, Suite 300, San Francisco, CA 94104, USA). The personal data collected on this website is stored on the host's servers. A data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR has been concluded with the provider.

When you access the website, your browser automatically transmits information to the server, which is temporarily stored in so-called server log files. The following is recorded in particular:

• browser type and version
• operating system used
• referrer URL
• host name of the accessing computer
• time of the server request
• IP address (generally shortened or anonymised promptly)

This data is not merged with other data sources. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and security of its website.

4. Contacting us

If you contact us via the contact form, by e‑mail or by telephone, your details (e.g. name, e‑mail address, company and your message) will be stored for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in case of follow-up questions.

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR where your enquiry relates to the performance of a contract or is necessary for pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR).

The data will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Mandatory statutory provisions — in particular retention periods — remain unaffected.

5. Cookies and tracking

This website does not use tracking, analytics or marketing cookies. No services are used that evaluate user behaviour or create profiles. Technically unnecessary cookies are not set.

6. External links

Our website contains links to external third-party offerings (e.g. LinkedIn). When you click on such a link, you are taken to the website of the respective provider. We have no influence on their data processing; the privacy policy of the respective provider applies.

7. SSL / TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the string "https://" in your browser's address bar.
