We have concluded a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with this provider. Vercel processes your data exclusively according to our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.
The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
Unless a more specific retention period is stated within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for which it was collected no longer applies. Legitimate deletion requests or withdrawals of consent will be acted upon promptly, unless statutory retention obligations apply.
We use tools from companies based in the USA. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these third countries. These countries may not offer the same level of data protection as the EU.
You may withdraw any consent you have given to data processing at any time with future effect. The lawfulness of data processing carried out prior to the withdrawal remains unaffected.
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content. You can recognise an encrypted connection by https:// in the browser address bar and the padlock icon.
The provider of this website automatically collects and stores information in server log files, which your browser transmits to us automatically. This includes:
This data is not merged with other data sources. The data is collected on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of its website, which requires the collection of server log files.
If you send us enquiries via the contact form, the information you provide (first name, last name, email address, optionally company name and phone number, selected topic and your message) will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your enquiry and in case of follow-up questions, and may be managed in our CRM system (see section "Newsletter, Web Forms and CRM with Freshworks"). We do not pass this data on without your consent.
This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where your enquiry relates to the performance of a contract or is necessary to take steps prior to entering into a contract. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) where requested; consent can be withdrawn at any time.
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, withdraw your consent to storage, or the purpose for storage no longer applies (e.g. after your enquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions, in particular retention periods, remain unaffected.
To book an initial consultation, we offer appointment booking via Google Calendar. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. When you book an appointment, the data you enter (e.g. name, email address, selected appointment and any information in the notes field) as well as technical data, in particular your IP address, are transmitted to and processed by Google.
Processing takes place to take steps prior to entering into a contract and to arrange appointments pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, and in the interest of simple and efficient appointment scheduling (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Data transfers to the USA cannot be ruled out. Google is certified under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). Further information: policies.google.com/privacy. We have concluded a Data Processing Agreement (DPA).
Our website uses the consent management plugin Complianz (provider: Really Simple Plugins B.V., Netherlands) to obtain and document, in a legally compliant manner, your consent to the storage of certain cookies and the use of certain technologies on your device.
When you enter our website, a cookie banner is displayed through which you can make your choices and change them at any time. Your decision is stored in a cookie in your browser and – where enabled – on our server for evidence purposes. The plugin is operated on our own server; your data is not transmitted to the plugin provider. The data is stored until you request deletion, delete the cookie yourself, or the purpose of storage no longer applies. Mandatory statutory retention obligations remain unaffected.
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 7(1) GDPR (obligation to demonstrate consent).
To protect our contact forms from misuse and automated spam messages, we use Cloudflare Turnstile. The provider is Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St., San Francisco, CA 94107, USA.
Cloudflare Turnstile uses technical characteristics to check whether a form is being submitted by a human or an automated program. For this purpose, in particular your IP address, information about the browser used (user agent), technical connection characteristics (TLS fingerprint) and information about the website accessed are processed and transmitted to Cloudflare.
Processing is based on our legitimate interest in protecting our website and contact forms from spam, misuse and automated attacks pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Cloudflare processes the data on our behalf to provide the service and, according to its own statements, also processes certain technical information as an independent controller to improve bot detection. Personal data may be processed in the USA.

We use Google Tag Manager (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland).

You can withdraw your consent at any time via the "Unsubscribe" link in any newsletter.

Information about interaction with our emails (e.g. opens and clicks) may also be recorded there, provided you have consented to this.
Processing is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) or – for contact and contract enquiries – on taking steps prior to entering into a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) and on our legitimate interest in efficient customer communication (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Consent can be withdrawn at any time.
We have concluded a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with Freshworks. Processing of personal data in the USA cannot be ruled out; data transfers rely on the EU Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses or – where available – certification under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework.
