Hosting with IONOS

This website is hosted by IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Straße 57, 56410 Montabaur, Germany. When you access it, technically necessary connection data may be processed in server log files. This includes, in particular, your IP address, the date and time of access, the requested page or file, the amount of data transferred, the referrer URL, and browser and operating system information.

This processing serves to provide the website securely, reliably and without errors, and to detect attacks and misuse. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The legitimate interest is the secure and reliable operation of this website.

Log data is retained only for as long as necessary for these purposes or to meet legal obligations. Where required, a data processing agreement is in place with the hosting provider. Further information is available in the IONOS privacy information.

4. Getting in touch

If you contact me by email or phone, the information you provide will be processed to the extent necessary to handle your enquiry and any follow-up questions.

For contractual or pre-contractual enquiries, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. In all other cases, processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR and the legitimate interest in handling enquiries reliably.

The data will be deleted once your enquiry has been fully resolved and there are no statutory retention obligations or other legitimate reasons for keeping it.
