4. Cookies / Technically Necessary Processing

This website currently does not use any analytics or marketing tracking tools. To the extent technically necessary cookies or similar technologies are used, this is done on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in the technically error-free and optimized provision of the website) or, where required, on the basis of Section 25(2) TDDDG.

5. Contact by Email, Telephone or Form

If you contact us by email, telephone or via the contact form, the data you provide will be processed for the purpose of handling your inquiry and in the event of follow-up questions.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, insofar as your inquiry is aimed at the conclusion or performance of a contract, and otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in efficient communication and the proper handling of inquiries.

The data transmitted in the course of contacting us will be stored for as long as this is necessary to process your inquiry or as long as statutory retention periods apply. Thereafter, the data will be deleted, unless there is another legal basis for processing.

6. Contact Form (Formspree)

We use the service Formspree for the contact form. The data you enter, in particular your name, email address, subject or topic and message, will be processed for the purpose of receiving, forwarding and handling your inquiry.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (initiation of a contract or performance of pre-contractual measures) or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in the efficient handling of contact inquiries).

It cannot be ruled out that personal data may be processed in third countries, in particular in the United States. Where data is transferred to a third country, this shall be done on the basis of appropriate safeguards, in particular standard contractual clauses (SCCs) pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR, provided that the provider uses such safeguards.
