Storage Duration
Unless a more specific storage period has been stated within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert a justified request for deletion or revoke consent for data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data.
Right to Withdraw Consent
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may revoke consent already given at any time. The legality of data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format.
Access, Deletion, and Correction
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and, where applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data.
Right to Restriction of Processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
Right to Object (Art. 21 GDPR)
Where data processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest), you have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data. We will then no longer process the personal data concerned unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
Right to Lodge a Complaint with a Supervisory Authority
Pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. You may contact the supervisory authority of your habitual residence or that of our registered office:

SSL/TLS Encryption
This website uses SSL/TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the browser address bar changing from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock icon in your browser bar.
4. Data Collection on This Website
Server Log Files
The website provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
- Browser type and version
- Operating system used
- Referrer URL
- Hostname of the accessing computer
- Time of the server request
- IP address
This data is not merged with other data sources. The collection of this data is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Server log files are stored according to the default settings of our host STRATO and are automatically deleted after a few weeks.
Contact Form
The contact and application forms on this website do not send your data to a server. Instead, your local email client is opened (mailto link) when you submit the form. Your input only leaves the browser when you actually send the email in your email client.
The subsequent processing of your email enquiry is based on Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR if your enquiry is related to the fulfilment of a contract or the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).
Enquiry by Email or Phone
If you contact us by email or telephone, your enquiry including all resulting personal data (name, enquiry) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request.

6. External Services
Google Maps
This website uses the Google Maps mapping service on the contact page. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
The map is only loaded after your explicit consent (click-to-load). Only when you click "Load Map" is a connection to Google established. Your IP address is then transmitted to and stored by Google. Without your click, no data exchange with Google takes place.
By using Google Maps, data may be transferred to the United States. Google is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, ensuring an adequate level of data protection.
Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR (consent). For more information: Google Privacy Policy

This website uses self-hosted fonts (Plus Jakarta Sans, DM Sans). No connection to external servers (e.g. Google Fonts) is made. The fonts are loaded locally from our server.
DATEV Portals
The client portal links in the navigation redirect you to external services of DATEV eG (Unternehmen Online, Arbeitnehmer Online). No data is transmitted from this website to DATEV. Only after clicking the respective link and accessing the DATEV page do the privacy terms of DATEV eG apply: https://www.datev.de/web/de/datenschutz/
