2. Website hosting
This website is intended to be hosted on Cloudflare Pages, a service provided by Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. When you access the website, technical connection data may be processed, including your IP address, the requested page, the date and time of access, browser and device information, and security-related metadata.
This processing is necessary to provide a reliable and secure website. Its legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interests). Depending on the service configuration, Cloudflare may process information outside the European Economic Area. Relevant safeguards and arrangements should be checked against the active Cloudflare contract and configuration. See Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.
3. Retention
Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary for the purposes described or to comply with applicable legal obligations. Retention of technical logs and metadata depends on the hosting service and its settings.
4. Cookies and analytics
The website is designed without analytics or advertising scripts and does not intentionally set analytics or marketing cookies. Essential technical processing by the hosting provider may still occur. This statement must be reviewed if new features or third-party services are added.

6. Email correspondence
If you contact us by email, we process the information you provide in order to respond and manage subsequent correspondence. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR where the communication concerns a contract or pre-contractual steps, or Article 6(1)(f) GDPR for other legitimate business correspondence. Messages are deleted when no longer needed, subject to legal retention obligations or other legitimate grounds.
