2. Personal Data We Collect and Our Legal Basis

2.1 Contact Form

When you submit an inquiry via our contact form, we process the following data:

  • Name
  • Company name
  • Email address
  • Phone number (optional)
  • Your message

Purpose: To respond to your inquiry and, where applicable, to initiate or perform a contract or pre-contractual measures at your request.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR — processing is necessary for the performance of a contract or in order to take steps prior to entering into a contract.

Retention: Contact form submissions are processed and stored by our hosting provider Netlify (via Netlify Forms) and are deleted after 12 months from receipt, unless an ongoing business relationship requires longer retention.

2.2 Server and Access Logs

When you visit this website, our hosting provider (Netlify) automatically records access log data, including:

  • Your IP address (truncated or anonymised by Netlify)
  • Browser type and version
  • Date and time of the request
  • Pages requested and HTTP status codes

Purpose: Ensuring website stability, security, and diagnosing technical errors.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR — our legitimate interest in operating a secure and reliable website.

Retention: Netlify retains raw access log data for up to 7 days.

2.3 Analytics Cookies (Google Tag Manager)

We use Google Tag Manager to load analytics scripts. No analytics cookies are set unless you have given your prior consent via our cookie banner.

Purpose: Understanding how visitors use our website in order to improve its content and usability (aggregate, anonymised statistics).

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR — your freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time by clicking "Change cookie settings" at the bottom of any page or by visiting this page.

Scope: Google Tag Manager itself does not set cookies or collect personal data. It acts as a container that loads other tags only when consent conditions are met. Any analytics tags activated through it (e.g. Google Analytics) will process data in accordance with their own privacy policies; see Section 3 below.

3. Third-Party Data Processors

We engage the following third-party processors who may receive or process personal data on our behalf. All processors are bound by data processing agreements (DPAs) and, where required for transfers to third countries outside the EEA, by the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) adopted pursuant to Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914.
