Where required, we have concluded a data processing agreement with Hostinger pursuant to Article 28 GDPR.

Legal bases for data processing

We process personal data only where a legal basis exists.

Where we obtain your consent, processing is based on Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.

Retention period

Unless a more specific retention period is stated in this Privacy Policy, we store your personal data only for as long as necessary for the relevant processing purpose.

If you submit a legitimate request for deletion or withdraw consent, your data will be deleted unless legally permissible reasons require further storage.

Such reasons may include tax, commercial, or other statutory retention obligations. In that case, deletion takes place after the applicable retention period expires.

Recipients of personal data

We transfer personal data to third parties only where this is necessary to perform a contract, take pre-contractual measures, comply with a legal obligation, protect a legitimate interest, or where you have consented to the transfer.

Where external service providers process personal data on our behalf, we conclude a data processing agreement with them pursuant to Article 28 GDPR where legally required.

SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption.

You can generally identify an encrypted connection because your browser’s address bar begins with “https://”.

When SSL or TLS encryption is active, data that you transmit to us generally cannot readily be read by third parties.

Server log files

The provider of this website, Hostinger, automatically collects and stores information in server log files that your browser automatically transmits.

This may include the following data:

• browser type and browser version
• operating system used
• referrer URL
• hostname of the accessing device
• date and time of the server request
• page or file accessed
• amount of data transferred
• HTTP status code
• IP address

As a rule, we do not combine these data with other data sources.

These data are collected on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Our legitimate interest lies in providing our website securely, stably, and without errors, analysing technical faults, and detecting and preventing abusive or unlawful access.

Server log files are deleted as soon as they are no longer required for these purposes, unless statutory obligations or security-related reasons require longer storage.

This may include the following data:

Where we obtain your consent for specific processing, processing is based on Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. Consent may be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future.
