3. Hosting and Content Management System (WordPress)
This website uses WordPress as its content management system. When visiting the website, WordPress may create technically necessary cookies and trigger processes such as saving log data.
Processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in operating a secure and functional website).
4. Server Log Files
The website provider automatically collects and stores information in server log files, which your browser automatically transmits:
- Browser type and version
- Operating system
- Referrer URL
- Hostname of the accessing device
- Time of server request
- IP address
These data are not merged with other data sources.
Legal basis: Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
5. Cookies
This website uses only technically necessary cookies, required for proper website operation (e.g., WordPress session cookies).
Since no non-essential cookies are used, no cookie banner is required.
Legal basis: Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
6. Contact Form (Contact Form 7)
This website uses the WordPress plugin Contact Form 7 to provide a contact form. When you submit an inquiry via the form, the data you enter — including the contact details you provide — will be processed for the purpose of handling your request.
Data processed
Depending on the form fields, this typically includes:
- Name
- Email address
- Phone number (optional)
- Message
- Technical metadata (e.g., timestamp, browser — IP address is not stored by default)
Storage & transmission
- Contact Form 7 does not store form submissions in the WordPress database, unless an additional storage plugin is installed (not used in your setup).
- Data is transmitted exclusively via email.
No data is shared with third parties.
Legal basis
- Article 6(1)(b) GDPR (contract or pre-contractual steps)
- Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (handling general inquiries)
Spam protection
Contact Form 7 uses built-in spam protection (e.g., honeypot).
If reCAPTCHA were enabled (currently not active), additional information would need to be included.
Data retention
We store the data provided in contact requests until the purpose of processing ends (e.g., after your inquiry has been completed). Statutory retention obligations remain unaffected.

Google Analytics uses cookies or similar technologies to enable analysis of how visitors use the website. The information generated may be transferred to Google servers in the USA.

You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future.
