The data is deleted again after seven days at the latest, unless further storage is required for evidence purposes. Otherwise, the data is exempt from deletion in whole or in part until final clarification of an incident.

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) DSGVO.
Your data will be deleted if your inquiry has been conclusively answered and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations, such as in the case of any subsequent contract processing.

The Google Analytics service is used to analyze the usage behavior of our website. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our website.
Usage and user-related information, such as IP address, location, time or frequency of visits to our website, is transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, we use Google Analytics with the so-called anonymization function. Through this function, Google already shortens the IP address within the EU or EEA.
The data collected in this way is in turn used by Google to provide us with an evaluation of the visit to our website and the usage activities there. This data may also be used to provide other services related to the use of our website and the use of the Internet.
Google states that it will not associate your IP address with any other data. In addition, Google keeps a record of your IP address at

Google provides you with further information on data protection law, including information on how to prevent the use of your data.
In addition, Google offers a website at
https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en
offers a so-called deactivation add-on together with further information on this. This add-on can be installed with the most common Internet browsers and offers you further control over the data that Google collects when you visit our website. The add-on tells the JavaScript (ga.js) of Google Analytics that information about the visit to our website should not be transmitted to Google Analytics. However, this does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or to other web analytics services. If and which other web analytics services are used by us, you will of course also find out in this privacy policy.

The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO. Our legitimate interest lies in optimizing the functionality of our website.
Through the connection to Google established in this way, Google can determine from which website your request was sent and to which IP address the directions are to be transmitted.
If you do not agree to this processing, you have the option of preventing the installation of cookies by making the appropriate settings in your Internet browser. Details on this can be found above under the item “Cookies”.

Online presences in social media
We maintain online presences within social networks and platforms in order to communicate with interested parties and users active there and to be able to inform them about my intentions and goals.

Unless otherwise stated in the privacy policy, we process the data of users insofar as they communicate with us within the social networks and platforms, e.g. write posts on our online presences or send us messages.
Integration of YouTube videos or content
We also use videos on this website. Videos make content easier to understand. For this purpose, we may use external providers such as YouTube. In addition, we may occasionally include other videos from external sites. Third-party providers are also used here. For technical reasons, the integration of videos results in calls to the servers of the respective providers, such as YouTube. For the associated use of data from your browser or terminal device, we refer to the privacy notices of the respective providers.
Further information on YouTube’s data protection is provided by Google under the following link: https://www.youtube.com/t/privacy_at_youtube.
