This information is used solely to process incoming inquiries, respond to messages, and communicate further regarding potential collaboration, recruitment, or employment opportunities.

2.2. Technical Data (Cookies, localStorage, etc.)

  • Language preference cookies: Store your language choice so that upon returning to the Website, you see it in your preferred language.
  • Google Analytics: Used to collect statistical data about visits to the Website (number of sessions, pages viewed, average visit duration, etc.). Upon first visit, you are notified about cookie usage and can opt out of Google Analytics tracking. If consent is not given, no analytical cookies or tracking tools will be activated.
  • localStorage: Used to save your selected theme (dark or light).
  • Google reCAPTCHA: On the “Contact” page (or within the contact form), Google reCAPTCHA may be used to protect against spam and bots. In this case, Google may store certain cookies on your device to verify that the action is performed by a human, not an automated system.

For more information about cookies and how to manage them, see section5.

3. Purposes and Legal Basis for Data Processing

  • User communication: We process data you submit through the contact form to respond to your inquiries and maintain correspondence. The legal basis is your voluntary request and/or pre-contractual inquiry (Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR) and consent (Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR).
  • Visit analytics: Google Analytics helps us understand how users interact with the Website and which pages are most popular. The legal basis is user consent (Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR).
  • Security and protection (reCAPTCHA): We protect the Website and the contact form from automated spam bots, which is our legitimate interest (Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR).
  • Legal compliance: In some cases, we may process data to fulfill legal obligations (Art. 6 (1)(c) GDPR).

4. Data Disclosure to Third Parties

  • Google: As part of using Google Analytics and reCAPTCHA, certain technical data (e.g., IP address, metadata) may be transferred to Google Inc. All such processing is performed in accordance with Google’s Privacy Policy and based solely on user consent.
  • Law enforcement and public authorities: We may disclose personal data if required by law, court order, or official request.
