2. Overview

We take the protection of your personal data seriously and process as little personal data as possible on this website. This website uses no cookies, no analytics or tracking services, and no advertising networks. Personal data is only processed where technically necessary to operate the website, or where you actively provide it to us (e.g., via the contact form).

3. Hosting and server log files

This website is operated by an external hosting provider. Processing takes place primarily in data centers in Frankfurt am Main, Germany; delivery of the website via a content delivery network may involve server locations outside the EU. A data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR is in place with our hosting provider; appropriate safeguards exist for third-country transfers (EU standard contractual clauses and the EU-US Data Privacy Framework).

When you access the website, the hosting provider automatically records information in server log files transmitted by your browser:

• IP address of the accessing device
• date and time of access
• page or file requested
• browser type and version and operating system (user agent)
• referrer URL (previously visited page)

4. Purpose and legal basis of log file processing

Server log files are processed to provide, stabilize, and secure the website (e.g., to defend against attacks and analyze errors). The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in the secure and reliable operation of the website). Log files are not merged with other data sources and are automatically deleted after a short period.

5. Cookies and local storage

This website does not use cookies. Only your language selection (German/English) is stored in your browser's local storage (localStorage) so the website is displayed in your chosen language on your next visit. This storage is necessary for the function you requested (Section 25(2) no. 2 of the German TDDDG); no tracking takes place. The entry remains exclusively in your browser and can be deleted at any time via your browser settings.

6. Fonts

The fonts used on this website are embedded locally and served from our own servers. No connection to Google or other font providers is established when you visit the website.

7. Contact form and contact by email

If you send us an inquiry via the contact form, we process the data you provide (name, business email address, company, role, and your message) exclusively to handle and respond to your inquiry. Transmission is encrypted; processing takes place on our infrastructure in a data center in Frankfurt am Main, Germany.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where your inquiry relates to entering into a contract (e.g., a demo request), and otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in responding to inquiries). We delete the data once your inquiry has been fully handled, unless statutory retention obligations require otherwise. The same applies if you contact us by email.

8. Data sharing

Your personal data is not shared with third parties, with the exception of the processors named above (hosting). We do not sell data and do not use it for third-party advertising.
