a) Contact by email
This website does not contain contact forms. If you contact us at the email address above, we process the personal data you choose to provide (name, email address, content of your message) exclusively to reply to your enquiry and, where applicable, to prepare a quotation.
- Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR — pre-contractual measures taken at your request; Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR — our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries.
- Retention: for the time needed to handle the enquiry and, in case of a subsequent contract, for the statutory retention periods applicable to business correspondence and accounting records.
b) Technical browsing data
Our hosting provider automatically records, in server log files, technical data transmitted by your browser (IP address, date and time of the request, requested page, browser type). This data is necessary to deliver the website, ensure its security and diagnose technical problems.

c) Google Fonts
To display its typefaces, this website loads the fonts "Space Grotesk" and "IBM Plex Sans" from Google Fonts, a service of Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). When a page loads, your browser sends a request to Google's servers, which necessarily includes your IP address. Google may transfer data to Google LLC in the USA under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework. For details, see the Google Privacy Policy.
- Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR — legitimate interest in a consistent and attractive presentation of the website.
