Privacy Policy

We appreciate your interest in our website. Protecting your personal data is very important to us. Below we inform you in accordance with Art. 13 GDPR about the processing of your data.

2. Hosting

Our website is hosted by IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Str. 57, 56410 Montabaur, Germany. The provider automatically processes so-called logfiles (e.g. IP address, browser type, date and time of access) to provide the website. Processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in a secure and stable website).

3. SSL/TLS Encryption

Our website uses SSL/TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content such as inquiries via the contact form. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the https:// prefix and the lock symbol in your browser. Data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

4. Collection and Purpose of Data Processing

a) Website Visit

When you visit our website, your browser automatically sends information to our server (see Hosting). These data are stored temporarily in a log file.

b) Contact Form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, we store the information you provide, including your contact details, to process the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (contract/pre-contractual measures) and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in efficient handling).

Obligation to Provide Data: Providing your personal data is neither legally nor contractually required. However, to process inquiries via the contact form, at least your name, email address and request are necessary. Without this information we cannot process your inquiry.

5. Cookies and Consent Management

Our website does not use cookies for analytics or marketing. If in the future external services such as Google Analytics, external Google Fonts, YouTube or social media plugins without a 2-click solution are integrated, a cookie banner with consent management will be required. Currently, such a banner is not necessary.

6. Social Media (LinkedIn)

Our website includes a link or plugin to LinkedIn Corporation, 1000 W Maude Ave, Sunnyvale, CA 94085, USA.

If only a static link or image to LinkedIn is embedded, no data is transferred on page load.
If a directly embedded Share/Follow button is used, your browser connects to LinkedIn servers when loading the page and transfers personal data (including IP address).

To ensure GDPR compliance, we recommend embedding via a 2-click solution (Shariff) or obtaining prior consent. More details can be found in LinkedIn’s privacy policy: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy.

Data Transfers to Third Countries: Using the LinkedIn button may involve data transfer to the USA. LinkedIn relies on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (Art. 46 GDPR) to ensure an adequate level of protection.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent, if given) or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in public relations and communication).

7. Web Fonts

We use web fonts for a consistent display of fonts.

Locally hosted: No personal data is transferred to third parties.
Google Fonts (external): If embedded externally, provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. In this case, your IP address may be transferred to Google. For data protection reasons, we strongly recommend hosting Google Fonts locally.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in consistent presentation).

8. Data Retention

We store personal data only as long as necessary to achieve the respective purpose or as required by law.
