Website access and analytics
IONOS SE, Germany, hosts this website. Technical access data includes the requested page or file, referring page, browser and version, operating system, device type, access time and IP address. Processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR; our legitimate interest is delivering a secure, reliable website. According to IONOS, stored visitor data is anonymised on collection and retained for eight weeks, with no transfer of these webhosting visitor data to countries outside the EU. See the IONOS webhosting information.
We use IONOS WebAnalytics for website statistics and technical optimisation, based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR and our legitimate interest in understanding and improving our website. It analyses the technical access data described above; IP addresses are anonymised immediately after transmission. IONOS WebAnalytics does not use cookies. See the IONOS WebAnalytics information.
We have concluded a data processing agreement under Article 28 GDPR with IONOS for processing on our behalf. The general IONOS data processing terms are publicly available.
Technical cookies
Ordinary visits to our public information pages do not set session cookies. Pages offering protected downloads and the website administration use first-party cookies for authentication, session handling and protection against forged requests: dominator_tms_session, XSRF-TOKEN and an encrypted session-data cookie with a changing name. They expire after approximately two hours. These cookies support the requested secure functions and are not used for advertising or cross-site tracking. Their use is based on Section 25(2)(2) TDDDG where strictly necessary to provide the requested function; associated personal-data processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR and our legitimate interest in secure access and abuse prevention.
Contact
If you contact us by email or phone, we process the information you provide to answer your enquiry or take steps towards a contract (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR); for other business correspondence, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR and our legitimate interest is responding to your enquiry. Providing this information is voluntary, but without contact details we cannot reply. IONOS provides our email service. We delete ordinary enquiries no later than 12 months after the last contact. Where legal retention duties apply, we keep business correspondence for six years, accounting vouchers for eight years, and books and annual accounts for ten years, generally counted from the end of the relevant calendar year (Article 6(1)(c) GDPR; Sections 257 HGB and 147 AO).
Social media
Our website links to Instagram, operated by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, Ireland, and LinkedIn, operated by LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Ireland. When you interact with our profiles, we process the profile information, comments and messages made available to us to communicate with you and manage our public presence. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR and our legitimate interest in business communication, or Article 6(1)(b) GDPR for contractual enquiries. We also use aggregate platform statistics to understand and improve our communications, based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
We use Metricool Software S.L., Spain, for publishing and analysing our Instagram content. Metricool acts as a processor for personal data made available through the connected account; its data-processing provisions appear in Section 16.2 of its terms. Metricool does not track visits to this website.
We delete our own copies of ordinary social-media messages no later than 12 months after the last contact, unless statutory retention applies. We retain other personal information available to us only while needed for communication or profile management. The platforms determine retention within their own services.
The platforms also process data for their own purposes, including in the United States. Meta and LinkedIn state that covered transfers to Meta Platforms, Inc. and LinkedIn Corporation rely on the EU–US Data Privacy Framework; they use other safeguards, including EU Standard Contractual Clauses, where applicable. Details of their processing, transfer safeguards and how to obtain copies are provided in Meta’s privacy policy, Meta’s transfer information and LinkedIn’s European privacy notice.
For LinkedIn Page Insights, we and LinkedIn are joint controllers. LinkedIn provides aggregate statistics and takes primary responsibility for the underlying processing and related rights requests. You may contact either party; we forward relevant requests to LinkedIn. The Page Insights arrangement sets out these responsibilities.

Right to object — Article 21 GDPR
You may object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to processing based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. We will stop that processing unless we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing is needed to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
