2. Hosting and server logs

This website is provided through ChatGPT Sites. The provider is OpenAI Ireland Limited, 1st Floor, The Liffey Trust Centre, 117–126 Sheriff Street Upper, Dublin 1, D01 YC43, Ireland.

When you access this website, technically necessary log data may be processed. This may include your IP address, date and time of access, the requested page or file, referrer URL, browser and device information, operating system, transferred data volume and access status. This processing supports secure and reliable delivery, troubleshooting and protection against misuse.

The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the secure and reliable operation of our website. Log data is retained only for as long as required for these purposes or by law. The specific retention period is determined by the hosting provider.

OpenAI may engage sub-processors, including Cloudflare for content delivery and web hosting. Processing outside the European Economic Area cannot be ruled out. OpenAI states that it uses mechanisms including adequacy decisions and EU Standard Contractual Clauses for such transfers.

3. Contacting us

If you contact us by email or telephone, we process the information you provide in order to handle your enquiry. This may include your name, contact details, company details and the content of your communication.

Where your enquiry relates to a contract or pre-contractual steps, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. In other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in handling business enquiries under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Data is deleted once the enquiry has been completed unless statutory retention obligations apply.

4. Google Maps directions

No Google map is embedded on this website. We only provide an external link to Google Maps route planning. A connection to Google is established only after you click that link and leave our website. Google may then process your IP address, device and browser information and other usage data. Google is responsible for this processing.

5. Cookies and tracking

We do not use our own analytics, marketing or tracking services, and we do not set cookies that require consent. If the hosting provider stores or accesses information on your device that is strictly necessary to provide the website you requested, this is done in accordance with Section 25(2) of the German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG).

Subject to the applicable legal requirements, you have the right to access your personal data (Article 15 GDPR), rectification (Article 16), erasure (Article 17), restriction of processing (Article 18), data portability (Article 20) and objection (Article 21).
