Hosting and server log files

This website is hosted on Cloudflare Pages, a service provided by Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA (EU entity: Cloudflare Germany GmbH, Rosenheimer Straße 143 C, 81671 Munich, Germany).

When you visit the site, the hosting provider automatically collects and stores information that your browser transmits, in so-called server log files. This may include: your IP address, the date and time of the request, the browser type and version, the operating system, the referrer URL, and the files requested.

This data is processed to deliver the website reliably and securely and to defend against attacks. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (our legitimate interest in a secure and efficient presentation of our website). A data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR is in place with the provider. As data may be processed outside the EU, appropriate safeguards apply (EU Standard Contractual Clauses / EU–US Data Privacy Framework).

Contacting us by email

If you contact us by email, the data you provide (your email address and any information contained in your message) is processed solely to handle and respond to your enquiry. Where your enquiry relates to a (pre-)contractual matter, such as a print request, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR; otherwise it is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries). We keep this correspondence until your request has been dealt with, unless statutory retention periods require otherwise.
