When you visit this website, the hosting provider processes technical data required for the secure and stable operation of the website. This may include:

  • IP address

These data are processed for the purpose of ensuring the security, stability, and proper delivery of the website.

Legal basis: Article 6(1)(f) GDPR
Legitimate interest: secure and reliable provision of this website

According to our hosting provider, access logs and error logs may be stored. IP addresses are anonymized after a limited period and log data is deleted after the retention period specified by the provider, unless longer retention is required for security or evidentiary reasons.

Where dogado processes personal data on our behalf, this is done on the basis of a data processing agreement pursuant to Article 28 GDPR.

This may include:

Legal basis:

  • Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, if your inquiry relates to pre-contractual measures or an existing contractual relationship

The data will be deleted once your request has been fully processed, unless statutory retention obligations apply or further storage is necessary for legal reasons.

5. External Links

This website may contain links to external third-party services, such as LinkedIn or WhatsApp.

When you visit this website, no data is transmitted to those providers merely because a link is displayed. Data is only transferred if you actively click on the respective link.

Please note that, after clicking such a link, personal data may be processed by the respective provider under its own responsibility. We have no control over data processing by third parties after you leave our website.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

This website uses only such cookies or similar technologies as are technically necessary for the secure and proper operation of the website, if any.

At present, no non-essential tracking or marketing cookies are intentionally used on this website.

If non-essential technologies such as analytics, marketing tools, embedded third-party media, or external widgets are added in the future, they will only be used on the basis of the required consent where legally necessary.

Legal basis for technically necessary functions: Article 6(1)(f) GDPR

Where the storage of information on, or access to information from, a user’s device requires consent, Section 25 TDDDG applies.

7. Recipients of Personal Data

Personal data may be disclosed to service providers only where necessary for the operation of the website and the handling of communications.

Where such providers process personal data on our behalf, this is done on the basis of Article 28 GDPR.

8. International Data Transfers

As a rule, personal data is processed within the European Union or the European Economic Area.

If, in individual cases, personal data is transferred to a country outside the EU or EEA, this will only take place in accordance with the applicable legal requirements.

9. Storage Period

We store personal data only for as long as necessary for the respective processing purpose or as long as statutory retention obligations apply.
