2. General information

This website is a static information service. There are no user accounts, no comment forms, and no tracking or analytics cookies set by the site operator. Personal data are processed only to the extent necessary for the technical operation and delivery of the pages.

3. Hosting and server log files

3.1 Description and scope

When you access this website, the hosting provider automatically records information in server log files. This may include in particular:

  • IP address of the requesting device
  • date and time of the request
  • requested URL / file
  • amount of data transferred
  • status message about successful retrieval
  • browser type and version and operating system
  • referrer URL (previously visited page), if transmitted by the browser

Processing is carried out to provide the website technically, to ensure system security and stability, and to investigate abuse or attacks. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in the secure and reliable operation of the online service).

3.3 Retention

Log data are generally stored only for a short period and then deleted, unless longer retention is required to investigate security incidents.

3.4 Recipients

The recipient of the data is the respective hosting provider acting as a processor or technical service provider for operating the website. Data are not disclosed further unless required by law.

4. Contact by email

If you contact us by email, the data you provide (at least email address, message content, and name if given) are processed to handle your enquiry. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR where the enquiry relates to pre-contractual or contractual matters; otherwise Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in responding to enquiries). Data are deleted when the conversation has ended, unless statutory retention obligations apply.

5. No tracking cookies

The site operator does not set cookies for analytics, marketing, or tracking on these pages. Technically necessary hosting processes may create session-related data depending on server configuration; no tracking tools (for example Google Analytics) are used.

6. External content and fonts

This website does not load fonts or scripts from third-party providers (for example Google Fonts). System fonts are used so that visiting the site does not open a connection to third-party font CDNs.

When you follow external links, you leave this service; the privacy notices of the respective providers apply.
