2. Overview

We only process personal data to the extent necessary to provide a functional website, to handle your enquiries. This website does not use a contact form, newsletter sign-up or social media plugins. Fonts are loaded locally from our own web space; no connection to third-party servers is established for this.

3. Hosting and delivery (Cloudflare Pages)

This website is hosted on Cloudflare Pages and delivered via Cloudflare's content delivery network. The provider is Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St., San Francisco, CA 94107, USA ("Cloudflare").

When you visit the website, Cloudflare processes technically necessary connection data, in particular your IP address, date and time of access, the page requested, the referrer, the browser and operating system used. This data is required to deliver the website and to ensure its security and stability (e.g. defending against attacks). For this purpose, Cloudflare may set strictly necessary security cookies on the basis of § 25 (2) no. 2 TDDDG.

The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the secure, fast and reliable provision of our website. We have concluded a data processing agreement with Cloudflare pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR.

Data may be transferred to the USA. Cloudflare, Inc. is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework; the transfer is based on the European Commission's adequacy decision (Art. 45 GDPR). Further information:www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.

4. SSL/TLS encryption

For security reasons, this website uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by "https://" in your browser's address bar.

5. Contact by email or phone

If you contact us by email or phone, we process the information you provide (e.g. name, company, contact details and the content of your enquiry) in order to handle your request.

The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR if your enquiry relates to the performance of a contract or to pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in handling enquiries effectively (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).

Your data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for handling your enquiry, unless statutory retention obligations (in particular under commercial and tax law) apply.

Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR)

Where we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, you have the right to object to this processing at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation. We will then no longer process your data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
