  a) Einwilligung,
  b)Vertrag/Anbahnung,
  c) rechtliche Verpflichtung,
  f) berechtigtes Interesse (z. B. sichere, wirtschaftliche und nutzerfreundliche Bereitstellung unseres Angebots).

• Data categories: Usage, meta/communication (e.g., IP addresses), inventory/contact, and content data.
• Affected persons: Visitors/users of the online offering, interested parties, applicants, customers, suppliers.

3. Hosting & provision of online services (Hostinger)

We obtain infrastructure/platform, computing, storage, database, security, and maintenance services from Hostinger for the secure and efficient provision of this online offering. To this end, the provider processes server/log data and technical metadata, among other things. According to the provider, processing takes place in data centers within the EU. A data processing agreement (Art. 28 GDPR) is in place with the provider.

Processed data: Server/log data (IP address, date/time, content accessed, referrer URL, user agent, data volumes transferred), meta/communication data, inventory/contact and content data in support cases, if applicable.
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in secure, stable operation).

4. Server log files

The provider stores server log files to ensure technical operation, defend against attacks, and ensure legal traceability. These files are not merged with other data.

Storage period: generally 7–30 days (longer depending on the circumstances).
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

5. Cookies & consent management (TTDSG)

We use cookies and similar technologies (e.g., local storage, pixels). We only use technologies that are not technically necessary with your consent via our consent tool (cookie banner).

• Legal basis:
  – Access/storage on your device: Section 25 (1) TTDSG (consent), exceptions for absolutely necessary processes: Section 25 (2) TTDSG.
  – Further processing: Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR (consent) or (f) GDPR (necessary cookies).
• Revocation: You can change your selection at any time via the “Cookie settings” link at the bottom of the page.

Note: We use a common consent tool (CMP). Its functional/log cookies are required.

6. Contacting us (email, telephone, forms)

When contact is made, we process the information provided by the inquiring persons to the extent necessary to process the inquiry.

Data: Name, email, telephone number, content data, meta/communication data.
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual/contractual) or (f) GDPR (general inquiries).
Storage period: In accordance with statutory retention obligations or until the purpose has been fulfilled.

7. Appointment booking via TidyCal

We use TidyCal to make scheduling appointments convenient. When you use the booking link, your entries (e.g., name, email, desired time slot) and technical data (e.g., IP address, browser information) will be processed. TidyCal is an external provider; depending on the provider’s location, data may be transferred to third countries (e.g., the USA). Appropriate safeguards are used in accordance with Art. 44 ff. GDPR (e.g., standard contractual clauses, EU-US Data Privacy Framework, if applicable).

Legal basis: Section 25 (1) TTDSG and Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR (consent), or Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR (appointment scheduling).
Note: Booking is voluntary; alternatively, you can contact us using the contact details provided in the legal notice.

8. Web analytics: Google

Analytics 4 (GA4)

We use Google Analytics 4 for reach/usage analysis, but only after obtaining your consent. GA4 collects page views, events, approximate location data (based on IP, without storing the full IP address), device/browser information, and generates identifiers for this purpose. Cookies or similar technologies are used for this purpose.

Data recipient: Google Ireland Limited (service provider in the EU); data may be transferred to Google LLC (USA). Such transfers comply with the requirements of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR (e.g., EU-US Data Privacy Framework and/or standard contractual clauses).
Legal basis: Section 25 (1) TTDSG and Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR (consent).
Storage period at Google: 2–14 months by default (configurable).
Opt-out/revocation: at any time via cookie settings.

Note: We only use IP anonymization/truncation and any user ID/signal functions if you have separately approved them.

9. Fonts: Google Fonts integrated locally

We use locally hosted Google Fonts to ensure uniform presentation. No connection to Google servers is established when the page is accessed; personal data is therefore not transmitted to Google.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in consistent presentation without external calls).

10. Search engine optimization (Rank Math)

We use the Rank Math SEO plugin for content/technical search engine optimization (e.g., meta tags, Schema.org markup, XML sitemaps).

According to our setup, Rank Math does not set its own cookies for site visitors and does not transmit any personal data from visitors to the plugin provider. Access analyses are carried out via Google Analytics 4 (see section 8). An optional connection of the plugin to external accounts (e.g., Google Search Console) only affects us as the website operator.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in SEO optimization)

11. Embedded third-party content (only if used)

If we integrate third-party content (e.g., videos, maps, external widgets), the respective providers may receive technical data (including IP addresses) and set their own cookies/tracking. Such integrations only take place if technically necessary or with your consent.

Legal basis: Section 25 (1) TTDSG in conjunction with Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR (consent) or Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR (necessary integration).
Third country transfer: in accordance with Art. 44 et seq. GDPR.

12. Applications (optional)

We process application data exclusively for the purpose of handling applications and delete it after completion of the process (after 6 months at the latest), unless consent has been given for longer storage.

Legal basis: Section 26 BDSG, Article 6(1)(b) GDPR; with consent: Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.

13. Recipients of data / Order processing

We only transfer data within the scope of legal requirements. If we use service providers (e.g., hosting, maintenance, analysis, appointment booking, SEO tools), this is done—depending on their role—as a processor (Art. 28 GDPR) or as an independent controller. Appropriate contractual safeguards (DPA, SCC) are in place.

14. Transfers to third countries

Sofern Daten in Drittländern (außerhalb der EU/des EWR) verarbeitet werden, geschieht dies nur unter Einhaltung der Art. 44 ff. DSGVO (z. B. Angemessenheitsbeschluss, EU‑US‑Data‑Privacy‑Framework, Standardvertragsklauseln.

15. Storage period / deletion

We process and store personal data only for as long as is necessary for the respective purposes or as required by law (e.g., commercial/tax law deadlines). After that, data is deleted or its processing is restricted.

16. Data security

We take appropriate technical and organizational measures (TOM) in accordance with Art. 32 GDPR (including access controls, encryption/TLS, rights/role concepts, logging) to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk.

17. Obligation to provide data

There is generally no legal/contractual obligation to provide this information. However, without certain details, individual functions (e.g., appointment booking, contacting us) may not be available.

18. Rights of data subjects

You have the following rights within the scope of the legal requirements: information (Art. 15), correction (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20), objection (Art. 21), and withdrawal of consent (Art. 7 (3)) with effect for the future.
