Through the contact form I process your name, email address, optionally your phone number, and your message in order to answer your enquiry (Art. 6 (1) (b) or (f) GDPR).

4. Google Analytics
With your consent I use Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. It shows me how visitors use this website, for example which pages are viewed and for how long.
Processed are pseudonymous identifiers, device and browser information, pages viewed, approximate location and time of visit. Google states that Google Analytics 4 does not store IP addresses of users in the EU. Cookies are set for this (_ga and _ga_<ID>) and are stored for up to 2 years.
Data may be transferred to Google LLC in the USA. Google LLC is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, for which the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision.
The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, § 25 (1) TDDDG). Without consent, Google Analytics is not loaded. You can withdraw your consent at any time via "Cookie settings" at the bottom of this page. More at policies.google.com/privacy.
