2. Hosting and server log files

This website is hosted by STRATO GmbH, Otto-Ostrowski-Straße 7, 10249 Berlin, Germany. When you visit the website, your browser automatically transmits technical information that the server stores in log files: IP address, date and time of access, page requested, amount of data transferred, referrer URL, browser type and operating system.

This data is technically necessary to deliver the website and to ensure its security and stability. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in the secure operation of the website). The data is not combined with other data sources and is deleted automatically after a short period. A data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR is in place with the hosting provider.

3. Contact by email or phone

If you contact me by email or phone, I process the information you provide (e.g. name, contact details, content of your enquiry) in order to respond. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where your enquiry relates to a contract or pre-contractual measures, and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR otherwise. Your data is deleted once it is no longer needed for this purpose, unless statutory retention obligations apply.

4. Encryption

For security reasons, this website uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by “https://” in your browser's address bar.

5. External links

This website contains links to other companies' websites. Data is only transferred to the respective provider once you click such a link. Their own privacy policy applies to their processing.

6. Your rights

You have the right at any time to access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20) and to object to processing (Art. 21 GDPR). Simply contact me at the address above.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, for example the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of North Rhine-Westphalia (LDI NRW), Kavalleriestraße 2–4, 40213 Düsseldorf, Germany.
