2. Scope & General Information
This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we process when you visit this website, contact us by email, use analytics features, or view embedded content (e.g., Vimeo). We provide this information to comply with our transparency obligations under the GDPR (in particular Art. 13 GDPR).
3. Data Processing When You Visit This Website (Server Log Files)
When you access this website, our hosting provider may automatically process technical data in so-called server log files (e.g., IP address, date/time, requested page/file, referrer URL, browser/OS information). This is typically necessary to deliver the website, maintain security, and troubleshoot errors.
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interests in secure and reliable website operation).
Retention: We retain server log files only as long as necessary for security and technical purposes, and then delete or anonymize them according to our hosting provider’s standard retention periods.
4. Hosting
This website is hosted by IONOS (1&1 IONOS SE, Montabaur, Germany) or another IONOS group entity/service, depending on the hosting product used. The hosting provider processes the technical data described above to deliver the website.
We have (or will have) an appropriate data processing agreement (Art. 28 GDPR) with our hosting provider where required.
5. Contact by Email
If you contact us via the published email address, we will process the personal data you provide (e.g., your email address, message content, and any attachments) to respond to your request.
Legal basis:
- Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry relates to pre-contractual steps or a contract; or
- Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in handling inquiries) in other cases.
Retention: We keep email correspondence only as long as necessary to process your request and for any follow-up, then delete it unless legal retention obligations apply.
6. Analytics (IONOS or Host-Provided Analytics)
We may use an analytics service provided by our hosting provider (e.g., IONOS WebAnalytics) to understand how visitors use our website and to improve performance and content.
Depending on the configuration, analytics may involve:
- processing usage data (e.g., pages visited, time spent, device/browser information), and
- using technologies that store or access information on your device (e.g., cookies or similar identifiers).
Legal Basis:
- If consent is required (see section 7), we process analytics data based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).
- Otherwise, we may rely on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interests in measuring reach and improving the website), if applicable for the specific setup.
You can withdraw consent at any time (where consent is used) via our cookie/consent settings (if implemented) or by adjusting your browser settings.
7. Cookies & Similar Technologies / Consent (TDDDG §25)
If we (or third parties integrated on the site) store information on your device or access information already stored on your device (e.g., cookies, local storage, device identifiers), this generally requires your prior consent under German law (TDDDG §25), unless the storage/access is strictly necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by you.
If our analytics or embedded content (e.g., Vimeo) uses cookies or similar technologies, we will request your consent before those technologies are activated, unless an exception applies.
8. Embedded Content (Vimeo)
If we embed videos from Vimeo (Vimeo.com, Inc.), your browser may connect to Vimeo’s servers to load and display the video. In this process, Vimeo may receive technical data such as your IP address and device/browser information and may set or read cookies or similar identifiers.
If Vimeo uses cookies or similar technologies that require consent under TDDDG §25, we will only load Vimeo content after you have provided consent (e.g., via a “click-to-load” solution and/or a consent banner), unless an exception applies.
For more information about Vimeo’s own processing, please see Vimeo’s Privacy Policy:
9. Data Recipients
We may share personal data with:
- our hosting provider and technical service providers (e.g., IONOS) as processors,
- analytics providers involved in the host-provided analytics service (depending on configuration),
- embedded content providers (e.g., Vimeo) if you load such content.
10. Your Rights (GDPR)
Subject to legal requirements, you have the following rights:
- Right of access (Art. 15 GDPR)
- Right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR)
- Right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR)
- Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
- Right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
- Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR)
- Right to withdraw consent at any time (Art. 7(3) GDPR), where processing is based on consent.
To exercise your rights, please contact us via the email address listed in section 1.
11. Right to Lodge a Complaint
You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. In particular, you may lodge a complaint in the EU Member State of your habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement.
