Each time you access our website, data is automatically collected for technical reasons and stored in so-called log files for the duration of the session. This includes, among other things: information about your browser type and version, the operating system you are using, the website from which you accessed our site (referrer URL), the date and time of your visit, and the IP address technically required to deliver the page.
This data is processed exclusively for the technical provision of the website and to ensure system security and stability. The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 (f) of the GDPR. The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected; For log files, this occurs regularly after the conclusion of the respective session, or at the latest upon the expiration of the storage periods standard for the hosting provider (see Section IV).
Our website currently does not use any analytics, tracking, or marketing cookies, nor any comparable third-party technologies. Only technically necessary cookies are used, provided they are required for the basic functionality of the website.

If you contact us via email, telephone, or fax, the personal data you provide (e.g., name, contact details, content of your inquiry) will be processed and stored exclusively for the purpose of handling your inquiry and addressing any potential follow-up questions.
The legal basis for this is—provided the inquiry relates to the potential conclusion of a contract—Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (implementation of pre-contractual measures or performance of a contract); in all other cases, it is our legitimate interest in responding to your inquiry pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Your data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected, or—in the event a contractual relationship is established—no later than the expiration of statutory retention periods (particularly those under commercial and tax law).
