2. Data Collection on Our Website

2.1 General Website Use

When you visit our website, we automatically collect certain information through server logs:

  • IP address
  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • Date and time of access
  • Pages visited
  • Referrer URL

This data is collected for technical purposes, to ensure the security and functionality of our website. The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). We do not use cookies, analytics, or any tracking technologies on this website. The only information stored in your browser is a single, strictly necessary entry in your browser's local storage that remembers whether you have closed our information banner, so that it is not shown again on subsequent visits. This entry remains on your device, is never transmitted to us, and is not used to recognise or track you.

2.2 Hosting

This website is hosted by an external hosting provider. When you access our website, your browser automatically transmits technical data (including IP address) to the hosting provider's servers. This processing is based on our legitimate interest in providing a stable and secure website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

2.3 OpenStreetMap

We embed map content based on OpenStreetMap on our contact page. The map is only loaded after explicit user interaction (click); until then, no connection to OpenStreetMap is established. The map software itself is hosted on our own server, so loading the map does not contact any third-party content delivery network. Only the map tiles are retrieved directly from OpenStreetMap's servers, and for this your browser transmits technical connection data (including your IP address) to those servers. The processing is based on our legitimate interests under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. According to OpenStreetMap, tile servers temporarily store IP addresses for up to 24 hours. OpenStreetMap is operated by the OpenStreetMap Foundation; further information can be found in their privacy policy at https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Privacy_Policy.

3. Recipients of Personal Data

Your personal data will be processed by our office. We do not share your data with third parties, except:

  • Service providers who support the operation of our website and process data on our behalf (e.g., hosting providers)
  • To the extent required by law (e.g., court orders, regulatory requirements)

All service providers are carefully selected and contractually obligated to protect your data.

4. Data Storage Duration

We store your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy:

  • Email correspondence: as long as necessary for the handling of your inquiry or as required by law
  • Server logs: deleted after a short retention period for technical and security purposes
  • Other data: as long as necessary for the respective purpose or as required by law

5. Your Rights

Under the GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

  • Access: Right to obtain information about your stored personal data
  • Rectification: Right to correct inaccurate personal data
  • Erasure: Right to request deletion of your personal data ("right to be forgotten")
  • Restriction: Right to request restriction of processing of your personal data
  • Data Portability: Right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format
  • Objection: Right to object to the processing of your data based on our legitimate interests
  • Withdraw Consent: If you have given consent, you have the right to withdraw it at any time

To exercise your rights, please contact us using the contact information above.

6. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, or unauthorized disclosure.

7. Links to Other Websites

Our website may contain links to other websites. We are not responsible for the data protection practices of these external websites. We recommend reviewing their privacy policies.
