2. What Data We Collect

Server log files: When you visit this website, your browser automatically transmits data to our web server, including your IP address (anonymised after 24 hours), browser type and version, operating system, referrer URL, and timestamp of the request. This data is used exclusively to ensure technical operation and is not linked to any individual person.

Contact form: When you submit the contact form, we collect your name, email address, and any message you provide. This data is used solely to process your inquiry and is not shared with third parties.

Cookies: This website uses only technically necessary cookies. No tracking cookies or advertising cookies are used without your explicit consent.

3. Legal Basis for Processing

We process your personal data on the following legal bases pursuant to Art. 6 GDPR:

• Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR — processing necessary for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures (responding to inquiries).
• Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR — legitimate interests (technical operation of the website, server log processing).
• Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR — consent, where explicitly given (e.g. optional analytics).

4. Data Retention

Server log data is automatically deleted or anonymised after 30 days. Contact form data is retained only as long as necessary to process your inquiry and any resulting business relationship, and no longer than 3 years unless a longer retention period is required by law.

5. Third-Party Services

Google Fonts: This website loads fonts from Google Fonts servers. When you visit, your browser sends a request to Google’s servers, which may include your IP address. Google Fonts is loaded with font display parameters; if you prefer not to load external fonts, you can disable them in your browser settings. Google’s privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy.
