Data Protection

The operator of this website takes the protection of your personal data very seriously and has designed this website to be as data-efficient as possible. We process your personal data only as necessary, treat it confidentially, and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy. By using our website, you agree to the collection, processing, and use of data as described below.

Collection of Personal Data

Use of our website is generally possible without providing personal data. However, as with any website, certain data is automatically transmitted when accessing our pages. This includes the pages or files accessed, the date and time of access, the amount of data transferred, a message confirming successful retrieval, the type and version of your browser, your operating system, your internet service provider, the website from which you accessed our site or to which you are redirected from it, and your IP address. These so-called "log files" are collected either by us or our hosting provider and serve to display the website correctly and to ensure stability, functionality, and security ("legitimate interest" under Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). This data is not combined with other data sources.

If personal data (such as name, address, or email address) is collected on our website, this is always done on a voluntary basis wherever possible. Please note that when using our contact form, in addition to the information you provide, your IP address and the date and time of your request are automatically stored. This is necessary for assigning and responding to your inquiry (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR).

Your personal data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of inquiries, this generally occurs once the matter has been conclusively resolved. Any criminal content will be reported and stored as evidence for potential legal proceedings.

Disclosure of Data

Your personal data will not be disclosed to third parties unless (a) you have expressly consented, (b) the disclosure is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims or for criminal prosecution and there is no reason to believe that you have an overriding legitimate interest in not having your data disclosed, or (c) we are legally obligated to do so (Art. 6 GDPR).

Reference to Third-Party Privacy Policies

This website embeds videos via the third-party provider Vimeo. These are only loaded when you actively click on them (opt-in). In such cases, please also refer to Vimeo's privacy policy.

Rights of the Data Subject

You have the right at any time to receive free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, the storage period, and the purpose of data processing (Art. 15 GDPR), as well as the right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR), erasure (Art. 17 GDPR), restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR), and data portability (Art. 20 GDPR). You also have the right to withdraw any consent given at any time (Art. 13 Para. 2 lit. c GDPR) and to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority, such as the Bavarian State Commissioner for Data Protection, P.O. Box 221219, 80502 Munich (Art. 77 GDPR).

You can contact us at any time using the details provided in the legal notice for questions regarding your personal data.

Right to Object

If the processing of your personal data is based on our legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR), you have the right to object to such processing at any time (Art. 21 GDPR). If you do so, we ask that you explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data as we have been. Should your objection be justified, we will review the situation and either cease or adapt the data processing, or explain our compelling legitimate reasons for continuing it. Please note that the collection of data to provide the website and its storage in log files is essential for the operation of the site, and therefore not subject to objection.

Use of Contact Details

The use of contact details published in the context of the legal notice obligation for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby expressly prohibited. The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam emails.

Final Remarks

This privacy policy (as of May 2025) is currently valid. Due to the further development of our website and services, or due to changes in legal or regulatory requirements, it may become necessary to amend this privacy policy.

We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., communication via email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
