Furthermore, we might use other cookies if you provide your consent. Those cookies are not required for the website to function properly. If we use such cookies they will be described in detail in the following sections.

Matomo web analytics

In order to get a better overview of how visitors use our website, we use the software solution Matomo, an open source software, as a locally installed application.

No cookies are set and your IP address is anonymized so that we cannot recognize you on subsequent visits.

Contacting us

If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or other means, the personal data you provide (name, e-mail address and optionally the telephone number) will be processed for the purpose of processing the request and in case of follow-up questions. The transmitted personal data, which was processed for the aforementioned purposes, will be deleted at the latest at the end of the following calendar year in accordance with ART 5 para. 1 lit. c GDPR (data minimization principle). Should a contract result from the inquiry, the statutory retention periods apply. We do not pass on this data without your consent. The data processing is based on ART 6 para 1 lit. a (consent) of the GDPR, ART 6 para 1 lit. b GDPR (contract performance) and ART 6 para 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest).

Processing of data in connection with projects

For the purpose of accounting, we store the following data of our (potential) clients: name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, VAT ID, bank accounts, orders. This information will not be forwarded to third parties other than our tax consultant, banks (to process payments) or the finance administration where legally required.

While working on projects you may provide us with further data, including personal or confidential data like contacts of your relevant employees, suppliers or service providers, contract texts, business correspondence or information regarding previous orders and inquiries.

This data is protected against unauthorized access and is stored on encrypted storage media only. We do not use cloud solutions and encrypted backups of data are created on a regular basis.

All personal data collected within the scope of a project (ART 6 para. 1 lit. b & f GDPR) will generally be deleted 7 years after the end of the project. Exempted from this is the deviating or exceeding duration of the processing of personal data, as far as normative regulations in the sense of ART 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR (legal obligations) provide for a certain duration of processing (e.g. simple legal norms of tax, corporate and civil law). A longer processing of your personal data can result from a consent according to ART 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or due to follow-up orders.

No information will be handed over to third parties, unless required by law or if you instructed us to do so.

Confidential or sensitive information as defined by the GDPR will be transmitted using secure or encrypted communication channels. Unencrypted methods, e.g. unencrypted email, will only be used if you allow us to do so.

The information provided by you is required to fulfill or prepare our contract. Without that information, fulfilling the contract will not be possible. If we do not enter a contract, such data will be deleted immediately after the decision is made.

The data processing is based on Art 6 para 1 lit a (consent), lit b (necessary for the performance of the contract) and lit c (legal provisions) and lit f (legitimate interest) of the GDPR.
