The hosting provider acts as a recipient and technical service provider for website delivery: GoDaddy Operating Company, LLC / GoDaddy.com, LLC. Further information on GoDaddy's international transfer framework is available at https://www.godaddy.com/legal/agreements/data-privacy-framework-notice.
Storage period
Server log data is stored only for as long as necessary for technical operation, security, and incident analysis and is then deleted or anonymized. The exact retention period may depend on the operational setup of the hosting environment.
3. Cookies and Similar Technologies
This website does not set its own analytics or marketing cookies and does not use a general tracking or advertising setup.
Access to information on your device or the setting of third-party cookies may occur only if you actively load the YouTube video. In that case, the legal basis is your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and, in Germany, Section 25(1) TDDDG.

If you contact us by email, we process the information you provide in order to handle your request and any follow-up communication.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your request relates to pre-contractual measures or an existing business relationship. Otherwise, the legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in handling inquiries and business communication).
Storage period
We store the correspondence only for as long as needed to process the request and for any applicable legal retention periods.
5. Meeting Booking via Google Calendar
The “Book a Call” buttons on this website link to an external Google Calendar appointment page (calendar.app.google). No data is transferred to Google through that service until you click the link.
If you use the booking page, Google may process technical access data such as your IP address, browser data, and device information. If you enter contact details to request a meeting, the submitted data may also be processed to organize and confirm the appointment.
Purpose and legal basis
On our side, the legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if the meeting request is connected to pre-contractual communication or an existing business relationship. Otherwise, the legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in efficient appointment organization).
Google acts as an external provider for the booking page and may also act as a recipient of data that you submit there. Additional information is available in Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
6. External Links to LinkedIn and YouTube
This website contains ordinary links to our pages on LinkedIn and YouTube. These are not embedded social media plugins.
No data is transmitted to LinkedIn or YouTube merely by visiting this website. A connection to the respective provider is established only when you click one of those links.
Once you leave our website, the privacy and data processing rules of the selected provider apply.

8. Recipients and Third-Country Transfers
Personal data may be disclosed to service providers involved in website hosting, email communication, meeting scheduling, and video delivery where this is necessary for the respective purpose.
Relevant recipients can in particular include GoDaddy as hosting provider as well as Google, YouTube, and LinkedIn if you actively use those external services.
If you actively use external services such as Google Calendar, YouTube, or LinkedIn, data may also be transferred to countries outside the European Economic Area, especially the United States. According to the respective provider setup, transfers may be based in particular on an adequacy decision such as the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework or on other safeguards provided by the provider. Based on GoDaddy's published notice, transfers involving GoDaddy may in particular rely on its self-certification under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.
