Contact via Email

If you contact us via email, your inquiry including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not pass this data on without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, provided your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this was requested.

The data you send to us via email remains with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after completing the processing of your request). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
