Processing is based on Art. 6(1) GDPR, in particular point (a) (consent), point (b) (contract and pre-contractual measures), point (c) (legal obligation), and point (f) (legitimate interests). Personal data is deleted as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies, unless statutory retention obligations require otherwise.

Box 452972, Dubai, United Arab Emirates (“Tilda”). Tilda processes data on our behalf under a data processing agreement (Art. 28 GDPR). According to Tilda, the following sub-processors are used: Hetzner Online GmbH (Germany) for storage, G-Core Labs S.A. (Luxembourg) for storage and backups, and Google Cloud EMEA Limited (Ireland) for information security. Transfers to third countries, in particular the United Arab Emirates and the United States, are based on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (Art. 46(2)(c) GDPR). The fonts and images used on this website are loaded from Tilda’s servers; no connection to Google servers (e.g., Google Fonts) is established.
The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the secure, fast, and reliable provision of our website.

Technically necessary cookies and entries in your browser’s storage (session storage) may be used where required for the operation and security of the website, e.g., to protect against denial-of-service attacks.
