• Technical data that may be generated when you access the website, such as IP address, browser type, device information, date/time of access and requested resources.
• Your selected website language, which may be saved locally in your browser.

3. PURPOSES AND LEGAL BASES

We process personal data only where there is a lawful basis under the GDPR. Depending on the situation, processing may be based on:

• Article 6(1)(b) GDPR — where processing is necessary to respond to pre-contractual enquiries or to perform a contract.
• Article 6(1)(f) GDPR — where processing is necessary for our legitimate interests, such as operating, securing and improving the website and handling general business communications.
• Article 6(1)(a) GDPR — where we specifically ask for your consent. Consent can be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future.
• Article 6(1)(c) GDPR — where processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation.

4. CONTACT FORMS AND FORMSPREE

When you submit a contact or project enquiry through this website, the form data is transmitted to Formspree, a third-party form processing service used to receive and route website submissions.

Submitted information may be stored in the Formspree account and may also be forwarded to the designated recipient email address. We use this processing to answer enquiries and manage project-related communication.

More information about Formspree's privacy and security practices is available on Formspree Security.

5. HOSTING AND SERVER LOGS

Our hosting provider may automatically process technical access data in server log files when you visit the website.

This processing is generally necessary to deliver the website, maintain technical stability, prevent misuse and protect the security of our systems. The legal basis is our legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

6. GOOGLE FONTS

This website may load fonts from Google Fonts. When these fonts are loaded from Google's servers, technical information such as your IP address and browser information may be transmitted to Google.

Where external Google Fonts are used, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in a consistent and technically efficient presentation of the website. For a more privacy-friendly setup, the fonts can instead be hosted locally.

7. LOCAL STORAGE AND COOKIES

The current website stores your selected language (English or German) in your browser's local storage so that your preference can be retained on future visits.

We do not currently use advertising or analytics cookies on this page.

8. DATA RETENTION

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, to manage the relevant business relationship, or to comply with applicable legal retention requirements.

General enquiries that do not result in a contractual relationship are deleted or anonymised when they are no longer required.

9. RECIPIENTS AND INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

Personal data may be disclosed to service providers that support the operation of this website and our communications.

Where a service provider processes data outside the European Economic Area, appropriate safeguards required by the GDPR must be used.
