SSL / TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as inquiries you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption.

- If the processing of your personal data happened/is happening unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
- If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.

Cookies
This website does not set any of its own tracking cookies. Technically necessary cookies required for the operation of the site may be set on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. When you actively access embedded third-party services (see "Plugins and tools", e.g. the YouTube video or the Calendly appointment booking), these providers may additionally store cookies on your device; if consent is required for this, processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases or exclude them in general. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
Server log files
The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
- browser type and browser version
- operating system used
- referrer URL
- host name of the accessing computer
- time of the server request
- IP address
This data is not merged with other data sources. This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of its website: for this, the server log files must be collected.
Inquiry by email, phone, or messenger
If you contact us by email, phone, or via a messenger service (e.g. WhatsApp), your inquiry, including all personal data resulting from it (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent. This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, insofar as your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) and/or on our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR), as we have a legitimate interest in the effective handling of the inquiries addressed to us. The data you send to us remains with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions, in particular statutory retention periods, remain unaffected. When contacting us via WhatsApp, please also observe the privacy policy of the respective provider.
5. Plugins and tools
Self-hosted fonts (Instrument Sans)
For a uniform display of fonts, this website uses the font "Instrument Sans". The font files are stored locally on our server and are loaded exclusively from there. No connection to Google servers or other third parties takes place.
YouTube
A video from the YouTube platform is embedded on this website. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. We have embedded YouTube in extended data protection mode. The video is only loaded after an active click; until then, no data is transmitted to YouTube. As soon as you start the video, YouTube (via the youtube-nocookie.com domain) establishes a connection to its servers. In doing so, YouTube receives, among other things, the information about which of our pages you have visited, as well as your IP address. According to its own statement, YouTube does not store any cookies with personal data in extended data protection mode before you play a video. The integration takes place in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR); if consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, which can be revoked at any time. Further information on how user data is handled can be found in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.
Calendly
To arrange appointments (free strategy call or consultation), the Calendly service is embedded on this website. The provider is Calendly LLC, 271 17th St NW, Ste 1000, Atlanta, GA 30363, USA. The appointment scheduler is embedded in the booking area of the page; when this area is accessed, a connection to Calendly's servers is established, whereby Calendly receives your IP address. When you book an appointment, the data you enter (e.g. name, email address, selected appointment, and possibly other information) is transmitted to Calendly and processed there to organize the appointment. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (implementation of pre-contractual measures) and our legitimate interest in efficient appointment management (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Since Calendly also processes data in the USA, we have agreed the standard contractual clauses provided by the EU Commission with the provider.
