2. General Information on Data Processing

We only process personal data of our users insofar as this is necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. Processing is carried out on the basis of the relevant provisions of the GDPR and the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG).

This website uses Google Analytics for statistical analysis of site usage. Details can be found in Section 5 (Google Analytics). No other third-party tracking tools or cookies are used.

3. Hosting & Server Log Files

This website is hosted by IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Str. 57, 56410 Montabaur, Germany. When you visit our website, the hosting provider automatically stores the following data in so-called server log files:

• IP address of the requesting device (anonymized)
• Date and time of access
• Name and URL of the retrieved file
• Website from which the access was made (referrer URL)
• Browser used and, if applicable, the operating system

The legal basis is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest in the secure and stable operation of the website). Data is deleted after a maximum of 7 days.

4. Contact Form & Email Contact

When you contact us via the contact form or by email, the data you provide (name, email address, message) will be stored for the purpose of processing your inquiry and for possible follow-up questions.

Processing is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR (pre-contractual measures) or Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest in responding to inquiries).

5. Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"). Google Analytics uses "cookies" — small text files stored on your device that enable analysis of your use of the website.

The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. We have activated IP anonymization, so your IP address is truncated by Google within the EU/EEA beforehand.

We use Google Analytics with the Measurement ID: G-J4XJF6GK26.

Legal basis: Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize our website).

Opt-out: You can prevent data collection by Google Analytics by downloading and installing the browser add-on for disabling Google Analytics: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

This website uses so-called web fonts provided locally for the uniform display of fonts. When you call up a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into its browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly. There is no connection to servers of Google or other third-party providers. No personal data (e.g. IP addresses) is transferred to external font providers.
