3. Hosting

This website is hosted by an external service provider (hosting provider) in a data center within the European Union.

Where required, a data processing agreement (DPA) pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR has been concluded with the hosting provider.

4. Server log files

The hosting provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser transmits automatically. This data is not merged with other data sources and serves to ensure the security, stability, and functionality of the website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). It is deleted after a short period unless it must be retained for security reasons. The following is typically recorded:

• browser type and browser version
• operating system used

If you send us enquiries via the contact form or by email, your details (in particular name, company, email address, telephone number where provided, project type, and your message) are processed for the purpose of handling your enquiry. When you submit the form, this data is transmitted to us by email and is used solely to respond to your request.

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where your enquiry relates to the initiation or performance of a contract. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling enquiries (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) and, where applicable, on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you give via the confirmation in the form.

6. Legal bases for processing

• Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR – legitimate interest

7. Storage duration

We process and store personal data only for as long as is necessary to achieve the respective purpose or as required by statutory retention periods. Data from contact enquiries is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for processing and no statutory retention obligations conflict with deletion.
