Protecting your personal data is important to us. We process personal data only in accordance with applicable data protection laws, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG).
Personal data is information that can be used to identify a natural person directly or indirectly.
This Privacy Policy explains what data is processed when you visit our website, for what purposes it is processed, and what rights you have.
3. Hosting and Server Log Files
Our website is technically maintained and hosted by the following service provider:
Virtual Gaps
Website: https://virtualgaps.de
Virtual Gaps uses services provided by OVH for its technical infrastructure.
According to our hosting provider, the server hosting our website is located in France and therefore within the European Union.
When you visit our website, technically necessary information may be processed in server log files. This may include, in particular:
- IP address of the device accessing the website
- Date and time of access
- Pages and files accessed
- Browser type and version
- Operating system
- Referrer URL, if transmitted

This data is processed to provide the website technically, ensure system security, and detect and resolve technical problems.
The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the secure and reliable operation of our website.
According to our hosting provider, server log files are retained for 7 days and then deleted, unless longer retention is necessary to investigate specific security incidents.
[PLEASE VERIFY: Whether a data processing agreement pursuant to Article 28 GDPR has been concluded with Virtual Gaps.]
4. Contacting Us via the Contact Form
Our website provides a contact form implemented using the WordPress plugin SureForms.
If you contact us using this form, we process the information you provide, in particular:
- Name
- Email address
- Content of your message
- Any additional information you voluntarily provide
We use this information solely to process your enquiry and communicate with you in connection with it.
The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR where your enquiry relates to pre-contractual measures or the performance of a contract. For other enquiries, processing is based on our legitimate interest in responding to incoming messages under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Contact form entries stored in WordPress are, according to our configuration, automatically deleted after 180 days.
Longer retention may be necessary where statutory retention obligations apply or continued handling of a matter justifies it.
Data is transmitted over an encrypted HTTPS connection.
[PLEASE VERIFY: Email delivery via Microsoft 365 or the email delivery service to be configured. Retention of emails in the mailbox is separate from the automatic deletion of contact form entries.]

Where strictly necessary technologies process personal data, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The requirements of Section 25 of the German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG) additionally apply to storing information on, or accessing information from, your device.
For non-essential cookies and similar technologies, we obtain your consent before using them where required by law.

Our website may contain links to external websites and social networks, particularly LinkedIn.

When you click an external link, you leave our website. The respective provider is responsible for any subsequent processing of your data.
Information about LinkedIn’s processing of personal data is available at:

Our website uses fonts to display content consistently.
Where fonts are hosted locally on our web server, loading these fonts does not establish a connection to external font providers.
[PLEASE VERIFY: Requests to Google Fonts were still detected during technical testing. Before publishing this policy, determine whether fonts are still being loaded from Google servers. If so, this section must be amended accordingly and compliance with data protection law must be assessed.]
