Contact Form

• When you submit an inquiry via our contact form, we process:
• Your name
• Email address
• Any information you include in the message field
• We use this data exclusively to respond to your inquiry. The legal basis is:
• Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR – if the inquiry relates to a (pre-)contractual relationship
• Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR – for all other general inquiries (legitimate interest in effective communication)

Data is transmitted via SSL encryption to prevent unauthorized access. We retain your data only as long as needed to fulfill your inquiry, unless longer retention is required under commercial or tax law.

LinkedIn Integration

We use LinkedIn plugins and links on our website to enhance our presence and provide access to our company profile.

• These are typically integrated as LinkedIn Insight Tags or embedded buttons (e.g., “Follow us on LinkedIn”). When visiting a page that includes such elements:
• Your browser may connect to LinkedIn servers
• LinkedIn may receive information including your IP address, browser details, or referring URL
• If you are logged into LinkedIn, this visit may be linked to your profile

These plugins are only activated with your prior consent via our cookie banner. The use of LinkedIn is governed by LinkedIn’s privacy policy:
▸ https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy

The legal basis for such processing is your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, which you can withdraw at any time via the cookie settings.

External Links

Our website contains links to external websites, over which we have no control. Once you click a link and leave our site, the external provider’s privacy policy will apply. We recommend reviewing those privacy policies directly.

Data Retention

We only retain personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the respective processing purpose or legal retention periods.

Typical legal retention obligations arise from the German Commercial Code (HGB) and the German Fiscal Code (AO). In cases of potential legal claims, data may be retained longer where necessary for defense or enforcement
