Collection and Storage of Personal Data and the Nature and Purpose of Their Use

When you visit our website, your browser automatically transmits certain information to our server. This information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file. The following data is collected automatically and stored until it is automatically deleted:

  • IP address of the requesting device
  • Date and time of access
  • Name and URL of the accessed file
  • Referrer URL (website from which the access originates)
  • Browser used and, if applicable, your device’s operating system
  • Name of your access provider

This data is processed for the following purposes:

  • Ensuring a smooth connection to the website
  • Ensuring comfortable use of the website
  • Evaluation of system security and stability
  • For administrative purposes

The legal basis for this data processing is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes listed above. Under no circumstances do we use the collected data to identify you personally.

Cookies & Local Storage

We do not use cookies or any external tracking services on this website.

Only your dark mode preference is stored locally in your browser via localStorage.
This data is not transmitted to us and can be cleared at any time via your browser settings.

We intentionally avoid cookies and cookie banners –
because we believe your privacy comes first, and annoying pop-ups don't belong on a respectful website.

Hosting

Our website is hosted by Hetzner, a German web hosting provider.
You can find their privacy policy here:
hetzner.com/legal/privacy-policy

We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) with Hetzner in accordance with Article 28 GDPR.

Self-Hosted Web Analytics

To analyze how our website is used, we rely on Plausible Analytics – a privacy-friendly web analytics solution.
We host Plausible ourselves on our server at Hetzner, and the collected data never leaves our infrastructure.

No cookies are set, and there is no tracking across multiple days or devices.
Only aggregated, anonymized data is collected, such as:

  • Which pages are visited and how often,
  • Which countries the traffic originates from,
  • What devices or browsers are being used.

No personal data is stored, there is no fingerprinting, and no cookie banner is required.
You can find more information about Plausible here:
plausible.io/privacy-focused-web-analytics

Data processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Our legitimate interest lies in the anonymous evaluation of website usage in order to improve our content and user experience.

We process this data for the following purposes:

  • Managing and planning appointments
