This website is hosted on a server located in Germany [TODO: insert hosting provider and address — e.g. Hetzner Online GmbH, Industriestr. 25, 91710 Gunzenhausen]. All traffic is end-to-end encrypted via SSL/TLS (indicated by the padlock icon and https:// in the address bar).

Legal basis: legitimate interest in providing the website securely and reliably (Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR).

When you access the site, technically necessary data is automatically collected and temporarily stored in log files: IP address, date and time, requested URL, referrer URL, user agent (browser/operating system).

Purpose: operation, error analysis, abuse protection. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR. Storage period: up to 30 days; deleted automatically thereafter.

If you contact us by email, we process the data you provide (name, email address, content of the message) solely to handle your enquiry.

Legal basis: Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual measures) or (f) (legitimate interest in responding). Storage period: until your enquiry has been dealt with, then deletion — unless statutory retention obligations apply.

When you use the callback form, you submit your name and phone number. This data is used solely to handle your callback request.

We use Mailgun (Mailgun Technologies Inc., USA) via the EU endpoint located in Frankfurt, Germany to deliver the notification to our inbox. A data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR is in place; processing takes place within the EU.

Legal basis: Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR (initiation of a business relationship) or (a) (consent by submitting the form). Storage period: until your request has been dealt with.

We use only strictly necessary cookies. Specifically: a language cookie (NEXT_LOCALE) that stores your language selection (de/en). This cookie is required for the website to function and is set without consent (§ 25 (2) No. 2 TDDDG, Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR).

We do not use any tracking, analytics or marketing cookies. No profiling takes place.

Fonts (Cinzel, Montserrat) are served locally from our own server — no connection to Google servers takes place. Background video, images and logos are also delivered from our own server.

You have the right at any time to:
