We process your personal data only where at least one of the following legal bases applies:

  • Contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) – processing is necessary to fulfil a contractual arrangement or respond to your enquiry.

2. Data Collected Automatically

Server Log Data

When you visit our website — via any of the URLs listed above — the following data is automatically recorded by our hosting infrastructure: your IP address, date and time of access, URL of the accessed page, browser type and version, bytes transferred, page retrieval status, session ID, and referrer URL. This is technically necessary to serve the website and is processed on the basis of our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Hosting – Hostinger

Our website is hosted by Hostinger International Ltd. Under GDPR Art. 28, Hostinger acts as a data processor on our behalf and processes server data necessary to operate our website. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in providing a functional website.

Content Management System – WordPress

We use WordPress by Automattic to publish and manage our website content. Automattic acts as a data processor. The legal basis is our legitimate interest.

Caching – LiteSpeed Cache

We use LiteSpeed Cache for page caching and performance optimisation. It sets one functional cookie (_lscache_vary, duration: 2 days) to ensure visitors do not receive incorrectly cached pages. No personal data is shared with third parties. The legal basis is our legitimate interest.

Consent Management – Real Cookie Banner

To manage the cookies and similar technologies used (tracking pixels, web beacons, etc.) and related consents, we use the consent tool “Real Cookie Banner” by devowl.io. Details on how Real Cookie Banner works can be found at https://devowl.io/rcb/data-processing/.

The legal bases for the processing of personal data in this context are Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR (legal obligation) and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest). Our legitimate interest is the management of the cookies and similar technologies used and the related consents.

The provision of personal data in this context is neither contractually required nor necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide this personal data. However, if you do not, we will not be able to manage your consents.

3. Data You Provide Directly

Contact Form

This website uses WPForms Lite to provide a contact form. When you submit the contact form, we collect the personal data you enter — typically your name, email address, and message. This data is stored in our WordPress database on our own server and is used solely to respond to your enquiry. It is not transmitted to or stored on WPForms’ servers.

WPForms Lite does not set cookies, does not collect your IP address, and does not track any additional user details. Form data is retained only as long as necessary to fulfil your enquiry, after which it is deleted. You may request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us.

The legal basis for processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual or contractual relationship) and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries).

Social Media

We maintain a presence on social media platforms. If you interact with us there, we and the respective platform operator are joint controllers of the data generated. Please refer to the relevant platform’s privacy policy for details. The legal basis is our legitimate interest, your consent, or the initiation of a contractual relationship.

We have implemented appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against loss, misuse, and unauthorised access.
