We process personal data of our visitors only insofar as this is necessary to provide a functional website as well as our content and services. Processing generally takes place only with consent (Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR), to fulfil a contract or pre-contractual measures (Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR), to fulfil a legal obligation (Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR) or on the basis of overriding legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR).

This website is hosted on servers of Checkdomain GmbH (Albert-Einstein-Straße 1–5, 23617 Stockelsdorf) in Germany. A data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR is in place with the provider. Legal basis is our legitimate interest in reliable web hosting (Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR).

When the website is accessed, information is automatically transmitted to the server and temporarily stored in log files. Collected are:
- IP address (shortened or anonymised)
- Date and time of access
- Name and URL of the file retrieved
- Website from which access was made (referrer URL)

The data is processed exclusively to ensure smooth operation, IT security and error analysis. The storage period is a maximum of 14 days. Legal basis is Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.
5. Cookies and consent management
Our website uses cookies and comparable technologies (e.g. localStorage). Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website.
We distinguish between technically necessary cookies (e.g. for storing your consent decision) and optional cookies (e.g. for analysing website usage).
Optional cookies are only set with your explicit consent in accordance with § 25 (1) TTDSG in conjunction with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time via the "Cookie settings" link in the footer.
6. Google Tag Manager & Google Analytics 4 (Consent Mode v2)
We use Google Tag Manager from Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) to centrally manage tags — in particular Google Analytics 4. The Tag Manager itself does not initially set any cookies and does not collect any personal data; it only controls the delivery of other tags.
With your consent we use Google Analytics 4 with Consent Mode v2 activated. This means: without your consent no personal data is transmitted to Google. With consent the following data is processed:
- IP address (anonymised)
- Device and browser information
- Time and duration of the visit
- Pages accessed and interactions
- Approximate location (city/region)
Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR (consent) in conjunction with § 25 (1) TTDSG.
Storage period: up to 14 months (configurable).
Data transfer to third countries: Google may transfer data to the USA. Basis is EU standard contractual clauses and the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (Adequacy Decision of the EU Commission of 10 July 2023).

When you contact us via the contact form or by e-mail, your details (in particular name, e-mail address, possibly phone, company name and message content) are stored for processing the inquiry and for follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.
Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR (carrying out pre-contractual measures) or Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR (handling general inquiries).
Storage period: The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose of processing, but no later than 3 years after the last contact. Statutory retention obligations remain unaffected.
