2. Hosting

This website is hosted by STRATO AG, Pascalstraße 10, 10587 Berlin. Personal data collected on this website is stored on STRATO's servers. A data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR is in place with STRATO.

3. General Information on Data Processing

As a general rule, we process our users' personal data only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website as well as our content and services. Processing generally takes place only with the user's consent or on the basis of legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(a) and (f) GDPR).

4. Server Log Files

The hosting provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser transmits to us automatically (browser type, operating system used, referrer URL, host name of the accessing computer, time of the server request, IP address). This data is not merged with other data sources.

5. Contact Form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, the information you provide in the form (name, email address, phone number, subject, message) is stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent. Processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for taking pre-contractual steps. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

6. Appointment Booking via Microsoft Bookings

For online appointment booking, we use the “Microsoft Bookings” service of Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA. When you use the booking function, the data you enter (e.g. IP addresses) is transmitted to and processed by Microsoft. A transfer of data to the USA cannot be ruled out. For further information, please see Microsoft's privacy statement at https://privacy.microsoft.com/en-us/privacystatement. Processing is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you give by using the booking function.

7. SSL/TLS Encryption

For security reasons, this site uses SSL/TLS encryption to protect the transmission of confidential content. You can recognize this by “https://” in your browser's address bar.
