Accessing the website
Delivering a page requires the hosting infrastructure to process technical request information, which can include your IP address, request time, requested resource, browser information and response status. Technical logs may be used to operate, secure and diagnose the service. The legal basis for necessary operational and security processing is our legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR in providing a reliable and secure website.
Technical data should be retained only as long as needed for operational and security purposes, unless an incident or legal obligation requires longer retention. Hosting and email providers may process data on our behalf, subject to applicable contractual and legal safeguards. This site does not load third-party fonts, analytics scripts, advertising pixels or embedded booking widgets.
The contact message tool
The letter tool builds a plain-text preview using the fields you enter. Its code does not send those fields to a server, write them to cookies or save them in localStorage. A browser may independently offer autofill or restore form fields according to your device settings.
Choosing “Copy Message” asks your browser to write the prepared text to your clipboard. Clipboard contents may be available to other applications or devices according to your settings. Choosing “Download Message” creates a text file on your device. You control its storage and deletion. Closing or reloading the page may remove the on-page draft, so save it yourself if you wish to keep it.
Preparing, copying or downloading a message does not contact us. We receive it only if you send it through your email service or another communication channel.
Email correspondence
If you email us, we process your address, the message, any information you provide and ordinary email metadata to read, respond and maintain the correspondence. Please avoid sending sensitive personal information, financial details or identity documents unless specifically necessary and agreed.
The legal basis is our legitimate interest in handling correspondence under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, or Article 6(1)(b) where processing is necessary for steps you request before a contract. Legal obligations may require processing under Article 6(1)(c). We retain correspondence while needed to address the matter and any resulting obligations or claims, then delete or anonymise it when no longer necessary. We do not add correspondents to a marketing list.
Cookies, storage and external links
The site’s editorial scripts do not set cookies, use localStorage or profile readers. See the separate Cookies policy for storage information. Clicking an external link takes you to a service with its own privacy practices. We do not control the data processing on those sites.
We do not sell personal data or use automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects. Where a service provider transfers personal data outside the European Economic Area, applicable transfer requirements must be met, such as an adequacy decision or appropriate safeguards under the GDPR.
Your rights
Subject to the applicable conditions, you may request access, correction, erasure, restriction or portability of your personal data. You may object to processing based on legitimate interests for reasons relating to your particular situation. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting earlier lawful processing.
Contact us to exercise these rights. We may request proportionate information to verify identity. You may also complain to a competent supervisory authority, including the Berlin Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information. See the Berlin authority’s website for its current contact information.
This policy may be updated when the site’s processing changes. The effective date appears above.
