General Information on Data Processing
2.1 Scope of Processing Personal Data
We process personal data of our users only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. Processing generally occurs only with the user's consent, except where prior consent is not feasible for practical reasons and processing is permitted by law.
2.2 Legal Basis
Where we obtain the data subject's consent for processing operations, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis. For processing necessary to perform a contract, Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR applies. Where processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of ours or a third party, and the data subject's interests do not override this, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
2.3 Erasure and Storage Period
Personal data will be erased or restricted as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Retention beyond this point may occur if required by applicable statutory retention obligations.
Hosting
This website is built and hosted via Framer (Framer B.V., Stadhouderskade 55, 1072 AB Amsterdam, Netherlands). Framer collects various log files including IP addresses.
We additionally use Cloudflare (Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St., San Francisco, CA 94107, USA), a globally distributed Content Delivery Network that secures and accelerates our website. Processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Any transfer of data to the USA is based on Standard Contractual Clauses and/or the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.
