depending on the service. The following applies in particular to contact requests:
If you contact us by e-mail or via the contact form, we process the data you provide to handle your request
and any follow-up. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in processing inquiries (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Without
this data, we cannot answer your inquiry.
We use external technical service providers (e.g., hosting, newsletter delivery, security/anti-abuse) who act
strictly on our instructions as processors (Art. 28 GDPR). Where necessary, we disclose personal data to such
providers or to authorities/courts when legally obliged. If a transfer requires consent, we will request it in advance.
Where personal data is transferred to third countries (outside the EU/EEA), this occurs on the basis of your consent,
legal obligations, performance of a contract or our legitimate interests and with appropriate safeguards (e.g.,
EU Standard Contractual Clauses). See the service-specific notes above (e.g., Google Analytics).
Unless otherwise stated or consented to (e.g., in cookie settings), we store personal data for the duration of your
website visit or the business relationship and then delete it. Statutory retention periods (e.g., German Commercial
Code/Tax Code) may apply (up to 10 years). During retention, processing is restricted (blocking).
You may object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to processing based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
In case of objection, we will stop processing unless we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your
interests and rights, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
Where the legal requirements are met, you have the right of access (Art. 15), rectification (Art. 16),
erasure (Art. 17) and restriction (Art. 18) as well as the right to data portability (Art. 20) regarding
data you provided to us that is processed by automated means based on consent or contract.
