Privacy Policy

Responsible for data processing on this website:

Our website uses cookies. These are small text files that your web browser stores on your device. Cookies help us make our offering more user-friendly, effective and secure. Some cookies are "session cookies". Such cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your browser session.

You can set your browser to be informed about the setting of cookies and to only allow cookies on a case-by-case basis. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of our website.

When you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form including the contact data you provided will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not share this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, insofar as your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).

The data you enter in the contact form remains with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your inquiry has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

Data Processing

When using Cloudflare Turnstile, certain data is transmitted to Cloudflare to perform the security verification. This includes: your IP address, information about your browser and its settings, the date and duration of the visit, and interaction data.

Cloudflare Turnstile operates in the background and generally does not require any active interaction on your part.
