We use Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-N7PQX4RJST) for audience measurement. Provider: Google Ireland Limited. IP anonymisation is active and a Data Processing Agreement (Art. 28 GDPR) is in place. Transfers to the US rely on Standard Contractual Clauses and the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

A future newsletter will require your email address. We use a double opt-in procedure: we send a confirmation email and only store your address once you confirm.

Spam protection (hCaptcha)
We use hCaptcha (provider: Intuition Machines, Inc., USA) to protect our forms against automated submissions. This processes your IP address, browser and device information and interaction data.
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in preventing spam and abuse). Transfers to the USA are based on Standard Contractual Clauses.
Processors and recipients
Hosting, database and file storage are operated through our platform and cloud provider; data processing agreements pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR are in place with all providers.
Form submissions are stored in an access-restricted database and are visible only to authorised persons. Data is never sold or shared for advertising purposes.
Embedded content and external links
Some pages link to external platforms (e.g. Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn). When you follow such a link you leave this website and the privacy policy of that provider applies.
External content is loaded only after your interaction or consent; no automatic connection to those providers is established without consent.
Use of artificial intelligence
Parts of the visual and editorial content on this website were created or edited with the support of AI systems. Such content is labelled; details are set out in our AI Transparency Statement.
Your form and contact data is not used to train AI models and is not transmitted to AI providers.
No automated decision-making
We do not carry out automated decision-making, including profiling, within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR. Every enquiry is reviewed and answered by a human.
Security and data minimisation
The website is served exclusively over TLS-encrypted connections (HTTPS). Access to stored enquiries is restricted by authentication and database-level access rules.
We collect only the data required for the respective purpose and delete it once that purpose no longer applies and no statutory retention period prevents deletion.
