2. The essentials in brief
This website is purely informational. We do not set cookies, we do not use any analytics or tracking services, and we do not store any personal data on our own servers. Your language preference (German/English) is stored exclusively in your browser (localStorage) and is never transmitted to us.
3. Hosting
This website is hosted by Netlify, Inc., 512 2nd Street, Suite 200, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. When you visit the website, Netlify automatically processes technically necessary data, in particular your IP address, the date and time of access, the page requested and your browser type (server logs). This data is required to deliver the website and to ensure its security, and is deleted after a short period. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in the reliable and secure operation of the website (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). Netlify is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. More information: Netlify Privacy Policy.
4. Google Fonts
For a consistent presentation, this site uses fonts provided by Google (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). When you open the page, your browser loads the required fonts directly from Google's servers, which involves transmitting your IP address to Google. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in a consistent and appealing presentation (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). For more information, see the Google Privacy Policy.
5. YouTube videos
Videos from YouTube (Google Ireland Limited) are embedded on this website. When the page loads, preview images are retrieved from YouTube's servers, which involves transmitting your IP address to YouTube. The video itself is only loaded and played once you actively click the play button. From that point on, YouTube may set cookies and process your usage behaviour; if you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube can link the playback to your profile. The legal basis is your consent expressed by clicking (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR) or our legitimate interest in presenting our services (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). More information: Google Privacy Policy.
6. Contact (email, WhatsApp, forms)
The forms on this website do not store any data on our servers. They merely prepare a message and then open — depending on your choice — WhatsApp or your own email client. The message is sent exclusively via the service you have chosen.
If you contact us by email or WhatsApp, we process the data you provide (e.g. name, contact details, content of the message) in order to handle your enquiry and any follow-up questions. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR (initiation or performance of a contract) or our legitimate interest in answering your enquiry (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).
WhatsApp is a service of Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, Merrion Road, Dublin 4, Ireland. When you use WhatsApp, the WhatsApp Privacy Policy applies in addition.
7. Links to social networks
Our website contains plain links to Instagram, Facebook and YouTube. Simply visiting our website does not transmit any data to these providers; data is only processed once you click one of the links and visit the respective platform.
8. Your rights
Under the GDPR you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
- Access (Art. 15 GDPR)
- Rectification (Art. 16 GDPR)
- Erasure (Art. 17 GDPR)
- Restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
- Data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
- Objection to processing (Art. 21 GDPR)
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR). To exercise your rights, an informal email to wilkostolzenbach@gmail.com is sufficient.
