2. General Information on Data Processing

Our website can generally be used without providing personal data. We do not use analytics services, tracking tools, or advertising technologies. No data is shared with third parties for marketing purposes.

3. Hosting

This website is hosted by an external service provider (hoster). Personal data collected on this website is stored on the hoster's servers. This may include IP addresses, browser requests, meta and communication data, website access data, and contact form data.

The use of the hoster is for the purpose of fulfilling our contractual obligations to potential and existing customers (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR) and in the interest of secure, fast, and efficient provision of our online services (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

The hosting provider automatically collects and stores information in server log files that your browser transmits to us. These include:

• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• Referrer URL
• Requesting computer's hostname
• Time of the server request
• IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources. The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest in the secure operation of the website). Log files are automatically deleted after 14 days.

5. Contact by Email

If you contact us by email, your inquiry — including all personal data provided (name, email address, message content) — will be stored and processed for the purpose of handling your request. We will not share this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (processing for pre-contractual measures) or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest in responding to your inquiry). Your data will be deleted once your inquiry has been fully resolved, unless statutory retention obligations apply.

6. Cookies

This website does not use cookies for tracking, analytics, or advertising purposes. If technically necessary cookies are used by the hosting platform (e.g., for security or load balancing), these are strictly necessary and do not require consent under Art. 5 para. 3 of the ePrivacy Directive.

7. Fonts

This website uses self-hosted web fonts (Instrument Serif, IBM Plex Sans, IBM Plex Mono). Font files are served directly from our own server. No connection to external font providers is established when you visit our pages. No personal data is transmitted to third parties for this purpose.
