Please note that data transmission over the internet is never completely secure against third-party access.
Below, we explain which data we collect, when and for what purpose, how our services work, and how we ensure the protection of your personal data.

Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data
As a service provider, we are only permitted to process personal data of website visitors if one of the following legal bases applies:
If we obtain the data subject’s consent for the processing of personal data, Article 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Article 6(1)(b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations required for carrying out pre-contractual measures.
If the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6(1)(c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If the processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person, Article 6(1)(d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, and this interest is not overridden by the interests, fundamental rights, or freedoms of the data subject, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.
Data Deletion and Storage Duration
The personal data of the data subject will be deleted as soon as the purpose for which it was stored no longer applies.
Storage may continue beyond this point if it is required by European or national legislation or other regulations to which the controller is subject.
Data will also be blocked or deleted once a legally prescribed retention period expires, unless further storage is necessary for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.

When you contact us (e.g., via contact form, email, telephone, or social media), your details will be processed in order to handle and respond to your inquiry in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual measures).
We delete inquiries when they are no longer necessary. We review their necessity every two years. Statutory retention obligations also apply.
Legal Basis
The legal basis for the processing of this data is the performance of pre-contractual measures in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.

The internet service provider (hosting provider) automatically collects “log data” in server log files.
The log data includes the following information:

Logging serves the purpose of access control, monitoring, and optimization of technical processes. In addition, this data is used in accordance with § 76 BDSG to assess data processing activities from a data protection perspective.
Data will not be disclosed to third parties, except to law enforcement authorities upon a court order in individual cases.
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected, or once the legally prescribed retention period has expired.
Therefore, users do not have the right to object to this processing.

We use Facebook Conversion Tracking – known as the "Facebook Pixel" (or Meta Pixel) – on our website for the purpose of analyzing and optimizing our web presence.

If you reside in the EU, the responsible entity is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as “Facebook”).
The use of the Facebook Pixel enables Facebook to identify and define visitors to our website as a potential target group for displaying advertisements (so-called "Facebook Ads"). We use the Facebook Pixel to show the Facebook Ads we run only to those Facebook users who have shown an interest in our website or who exhibit certain characteristics (such as interests inferred from visited websites). This information is transmitted to Facebook, allowing us to create so-called "Custom Audiences."
By using the Facebook Pixel, we aim to ensure that our Facebook Ads match the potential interests of website visitors and are not perceived as intrusive. Furthermore, we can use the Facebook Pixel to evaluate the effectiveness of our Facebook Ads for statistical and market research purposes. This allows us to analyze whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook Ad — a process referred to as a “conversion.”
Please note that data may be transferred to the USA and processed by U.S. authorities. Under current legal standards, the USA is considered an insecure third country with an insufficient level of data protection.
Currently, there is no adequacy decision pursuant to Article 45 GDPR, nor can suitable safeguards pursuant to Article 46 GDPR be guaranteed.
