Collection of data
Personal data on this website is collected in two ways:
- Voluntary: Data you provide to us (e.g. via contact forms).
- Automatic: Technical data such as browser type, operating system, and access times collected automatically when you visit the site.
Hosting
This website is hosted by Contabo. When you visit the website, IP addresses and technical access data in particular are processed there. Hosting is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; a data processing agreement is in place with Contabo. Contact form submissions use the Formspree service described below.
Contact form via Formspree
We use Formspree, Inc. to transmit contact inquiries. When you submit, your name, email address, message, company if provided, and selected language are sent to Formspree. Formspree processes the inquiry and forwards it to us by email. Formspree hosts its service in the United States and states that it relies on Standard Contractual Clauses for international data transfers.
Technical connection data such as your IP address and browser information are also processed. The form integration additionally sends its software version, a load timestamp, and an automation-detection signal for spam prevention. Merely viewing or filling in the form does not send form data to Formspree. Our website does not persist your entries in browser storage or send them to web analytics services.
We use your details to handle your inquiry. Data in the Formspree archive and our mailbox is deleted when it is no longer needed for this purpose, unless statutory retention obligations apply. For information or deletion requests, please use our contact details above.
