When you visit this website, the following data is automatically collected by your device:
- IP address of the requesting device
- Date and time of access
- Name and URL of the file requested
- Website from which access was made (referrer URL)

Contact form: If you contact us via the contact form or email, the data you provide (name, email address, message, optionally phone) is processed and stored for the purpose of handling your request. Processing is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) or for pre-contractual measures (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).

For payment processing we use Stripe (Stripe, Inc., USA / Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd., Ireland). When you pay, payment data (e.g. card details) is transmitted directly to Stripe. Processing is subject to the Stripe privacy policy. Payment processing is based on the contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) or your consent.
5. Embedded content (Google Maps)
Some pages of this website embed Google Maps. When you open such pages, Google (Google Ireland Limited, Ireland) may collect data (e.g. your IP address, access time). For more information on Google's data processing, see the Google privacy policy. Embedding is based on our legitimate interest in presenting our location (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Technically necessary cookies (e.g. for session management), if used, serve the operation of the website and are based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest). You can set your browser to be notified about cookies and to allow or block them individually.
