2. Hosting Our website is hosted by IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Str. 57, 56410 Montabaur, Germany. When you visit our website, IONOS automatically collects and stores standard server log files, including your IP address. This data is processed based on our legitimate interest in ensuring the secure and reliable operation of our website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). We have entered into a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with IONOS to ensure that your data is processed strictly according to our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

3. Data Collection and Usage Contacting Us If you contact us via email, phone, or fax, your inquiry and the associated personal data (e.g., name, request details) will be stored to process your request. This processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your request is related to the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures. Otherwise, it is based on our legitimate interest in effectively responding to inquiries (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). We will retain this data until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies, subject to mandatory statutory retention periods.

4. Analytics Tools IONOS WebAnalytics We use IONOS WebAnalytics to analyze website traffic and user behavior (e.g., page views, bounce rates, browser types, and operating systems). According to the provider, this data collection is entirely anonymized, and no cookies are used or stored on your device. The IP address is only used to determine the general location of the access and is immediately anonymized. This analysis helps us optimize our website and is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). A Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with IONOS is in place for this service.

5. Your Rights Under the GDPR As a data subject, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Right to Access: You can request information about your stored personal data at any time.
• Right to Rectification or Erasure: You can ask us to correct inaccurate data or delete your data, provided no legal retention requirements prevent this.
• Right to Restrict Processing: Under certain conditions, you can request that we limit the processing of your data.
• Right to Data Portability: You have the right to receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
• Right to Withdraw Consent: You can revoke any consent you have given us at any time, effective for the future.
• Right to Object (Art. 21 GDPR): You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data if it is based on legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR), including profiling. If your data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you may object at any time.
• Right to Lodge a Complaint: You have the right to file a complaint with a competent data protection supervisory authority if you believe your data has been processed unlawfully.

6. Security For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential data (such as inquiries), this website uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection when the browser address bar changes from “http://” to “https://” and a lock icon appears in your browser line.

International data transfers

Some of our service providers (for example Google, Amazon and Pinterest) are based in the United States, so your data may be processed there. Where this happens, the transfer is based on an EU Commission adequacy decision (EU–US Data Privacy Framework) for certified recipients, or on the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses.

Your California privacy rights

If you are a California resident, you may have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request its deletion, and to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information. We do not sell your personal information for money. You can exercise these rights by contacting us at the email listed below.

Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) setting or a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. Where required by applicable law, we treat a recognized GPC signal as a valid request to opt out of the sharing of personal information.

How long we keep your data

We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described above or as required by law. Server log files are typically stored for a short period for security and troubleshooting. Comments are disabled on this site, so no comment data is collected. Data held by third-party providers (analytics, advertising, affiliate networks) is retained according to their own policies.
