If you contact us by email or telephone, the information you provide, including your contact details, will be processed for the purpose of handling your enquiry and any subsequent questions.
The applicable legal basis depends on the nature of your enquiry.
If your enquiry relates to the initiation or performance of a contract, processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.
In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in handling enquiries addressed to us pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
The data you provide will be deleted once the purpose for which it was processed no longer applies, provided that there are no statutory retention obligations or other legitimate reasons requiring continued storage.

8. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our website may use technically necessary cookies or comparable technologies where these are required for the provision and functionality of the website.
Where access to information stored on a user’s device or the storage of information on the user’s device is strictly necessary in order to provide a digital service expressly requested by the user, such processing is governed by Section 25(2) of the German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (Telekommunikation-Digitale-Dienste-Datenschutz-Gesetz – TDDDG).
Where personal data is processed, the processing is carried out – depending on the respective purpose – in particular on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
