When you visit the website, technically necessary data are processed: IP address, date and time of access, page requested, amount of data transferred, previously visited page (referrer), browser and operating system.

3. Contacting us
If you use the contact form, send an email or call us, we process your details (in particular your name, email address, telephone number if provided and the content of your message) in order to respond to your enquiry. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where your enquiry is aimed at instructing us, otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Form enquiries are forwarded by email to the responsible professional and are not stored in the website’s database. To prevent misuse, a non-reversible check value derived from your IP address is kept for no more than ten minutes.
Your details are deleted once they are no longer needed to deal with your enquiry. If a mandate is concluded, the professional retention obligations (Section 50 BRAO, Section 66 StBerG) and the statutory retention periods apply.
