4. Data collection on this website

Server log files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us: browser type and version, operating system used, referrer URL, host name of the accessing computer, time of the server request, IP address. This data is not merged with other data sources. The basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

Cookies

This website does not use tracking or marketing cookies. Only technically necessary settings (e.g. your language choice) are stored locally in your browser and are not transmitted to us.

Enquiry form

If you send us enquiries via the form, your details from the form including the contact details you provide there will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. Processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR (pre-contractual measures) or Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in processing). The data remains with us until you request deletion or the purpose no longer applies. The form is processed by a script on our host's server (STRATO GmbH, Germany) and delivered to us by email; nothing is stored on the server. Photos you attach voluntarily are transmitted with the email. No external form service is used.

Enquiry by email or phone

If you contact us by email or phone, your enquiry including all resulting personal data will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request.
