This data is processed to ensure a smooth connection and system stability and security. The legal basis for this is my legitimate interest in providing an optimal website experience (Art. 6 (1) f GDPR). Data is also evaluated for statistical purposes and to improve the website offering, and then deleted. There is no further use or disclosure to third parties.

3. Other Uses
In addition to browsing, you may also contact me via email. In doing so, I may collect and process the following data:

This data is solely used for communication and handling your inquiry (Art. 6 (1) f GDPR). If your data is no longer necessary and no legal obligations require retention, it will be deleted. Your data will not be shared with third parties without your explicit consent.
4. Disclosure of Data
Your personal data will not be shared with third parties unless:
-
you have given your explicit consent (Art. 6 (1) a GDPR / Art. 9 (2) a GDPR),

the disclosure is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims and there is no reason to assume your rights override this interest (Art. 6 (1) f GDPR),
-
or there is a legal obligation to disclose (Art. 6 (1) c GDPR).
In some cases, I may use external service providers (e.g., IT providers) as data processors. These are carefully selected, contracted in writing, and bound to follow strict instructions. No data is processed beyond this contractual relationship.
