6. Cookies and Consent Management

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies that may be necessary for the technical operation of the website.

Where optional technologies requiring consent are used, particularly for analytics or marketing purposes, they will only be activated after you have provided the required consent through our cookie-consent mechanism.

Where personal data are processed on the basis of consent, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. The storage of information on, or access to information already stored on, your device is governed by the applicable requirements of Section 25 TDDDG.

We do not sell personal data.

Personal data may also be disclosed where required by law or where necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

8. International Data Transfers

Where a service provider processes personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA), such transfers will only take place where the requirements of the GDPR are satisfied.

Depending on the recipient and country, this may include an adequacy decision of the European Commission or appropriate safeguards such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which they were collected.

Information submitted through our contact form or by email is generally retained for as long as necessary to process the inquiry and any resulting business relationship.

Longer retention may apply where required by statutory commercial, tax or other legal retention obligations or where necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Once the relevant purpose and applicable retention obligations cease to apply, personal data will be deleted or anonymised as appropriate.
