This website is hosted by dogado GmbH, Antonio-Segni-Straße 11, 44263 Dortmund, Germany. When the website is accessed, technically necessary connection data may be processed, including IP address, date and time, requested pages and files, browser and device details and, where provided, the referring website.
The processing is necessary to deliver and secure the website and diagnose errors. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (our legitimate interest in a secure, functional website).
According to dogado’s published information for standard web hosting, IP addresses in server logs are anonymised after 24 hours and log files are deleted after no more than seven days. A data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR has been concluded with dogado.
4. Contact by email or telephone
If you contact us by email or telephone, we process the contact details and contents of your enquiry to respond and communicate with you. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for contractual or pre-contractual matters, otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (our legitimate interest in responding to business enquiries).
5. Contact form
When you use the contact form, we process your name, email address, any company name provided and the contents of your message. The information is sent server-side via PHP to an email address designated to handle enquiries; it is not permanently saved in a dedicated website database. Service providers engaged by us may also be involved in handling enquiries.
The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for contractual or pre-contractual enquiries and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR for other enquiries. Mandatory details are necessary to process and reply to your request. Acknowledging the privacy policy in the form is not consent to marketing.

7. Recipients and international transfers
dogado GmbH processes personal data on our behalf for technical hosting. Where required to deal with your enquiry, data may also be disclosed to engaged service providers or to competent authorities under legal obligations. No transfer of personal data outside the European Economic Area is envisaged for operating this website.
8. Retention and erasure
Server logs are kept for the periods described in section 3. Contact data are processed only as long as needed to deal with an enquiry and any necessary related business communication. Individual documents may have to be retained for longer under statutory commercial, tax or other retention obligations.
9. Your rights
Subject to the GDPR, you have rights of access (Art. 15), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20) and objection to certain processing (Art. 21 GDPR). You may withdraw any consent with future effect. You can contact the controller or our data protection officer to exercise these rights.
