This website is hosted by Squarespace.
When you visit this website, technical information may be processed automatically, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, date and time of access, requested pages, and other connection data.
This processing is necessary to deliver the website, maintain its functionality, and protect it against technical failures and misuse.

3. Cookies and Website Analytics
This website uses cookies and similar technologies provided by Squarespace.
Essential cookies are used to support the basic functionality and security of the website and to remember your cookie preferences. Where access to or storage of information on your device is strictly necessary, it does not require consent under applicable German law. The associated processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the website, including page visits, traffic sources, and general usage patterns. We use Squarespace Analytics for this purpose.
Non-essential analytics cookies are used only with your consent. The legal basis for the associated processing of personal data is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. Consent to storing or accessing non-essential information on your device is obtained in accordance with Section 25 of the German Telecommunications-Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG).
You can accept, decline, or manage non-essential cookies through the cookie banner. You may withdraw or change your consent at any time through the website's cookie preference controls. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
Depending on your consent, Squarespace may use analytics cookies such as ss_cid, ss_cpvisit, ss_cvisit, ss_cvr, and ss_cvt. Their storage periods vary; some expire after approximately 30 minutes, while others may remain for up to two years.
For more information, see The cookies Squarespace uses.
4. Contact Form and Email Communication
If you contact us through the contact form or by email, we process the information you provide to respond to your inquiry.
The contact form requests your first name, last name, email address, subject, and message.
Form submissions are processed through Squarespace. Contact information may also be stored in Squarespace's contact management system. Messages are delivered to an email account operated through STRATO.
The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR where your inquiry concerns a contract or steps taken before entering into a contract. For other inquiries, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, based on our legitimate interest in responding to communications.
Your information is used to handle your inquiry and any related communication. It is not used for email marketing without an appropriate legal basis.
5. External Links
This website may contain links to external websites, including Instagram.
When you follow an external link, you leave this website. The external provider may process personal data in accordance with its own privacy policy.
A standard external link does not, by itself, embed content from that provider into this website.
For information about Instagram's data processing, please refer to Meta's Privacy Policy.
6. Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or as required by applicable law.
General inquiries that do not result in an ongoing business relationship are normally deleted within 12 months after the last relevant communication, unless continued retention is necessary.
Business correspondence, contractual records, and tax-relevant documents may be retained for longer periods where required by statutory retention obligations.
Technical and analytics data are retained in accordance with the applicable settings and retention periods of the relevant Squarespace services.
