We host our website with the provider Vercel (Vercel Inc., 440 N Barranca Ave #4133, Covina, CA 91723, USA). Server log files (including IP address, browser type, operating system, date/time of access) are processed to provide the website.

Data processing agreement & third-country transfer: We have entered into a Data Processing Addendum with Vercel. Vercel is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

If you contact us via the form on the website or by email, the data you provide will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent. Our contact form opens your own email program directly — no form data is sent through a third-party server.

We store personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the respective purposes or as required by statutory retention periods.

Contact inquiries: Data from the contact form or email is deleted once your inquiry has been fully processed, unless a contract or a statutory retention obligation (e.g. tax-law obligations) requires otherwise.

This website currently does not use cookies and does not employ any analytics, marketing, or tracking tools (e.g. Google Analytics, Google Ads, Meta Pixel). Should this change in the future, we will inform you here and via a corresponding cookie banner, and will obtain your consent in advance where required (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).

Visiting a page with an embedded video may technically establish a connection to YouTube's or Vimeo's servers and transmit your IP address.
