This website contains a link enabling you to contact us via WhatsApp. Merely visiting this website does not establish a connection to WhatsApp. A connection to WhatsApp is only established after you actively click the WhatsApp link.

The service for users in the European Economic Area is provided by WhatsApp Ireland Limited. When using WhatsApp, the provider's own privacy policy and terms apply.

If you contact us via WhatsApp, we process the contact data and messages you submit in order to respond to your inquiry. Depending on the technical operation of the service, processing outside the European Economic Area cannot be excluded.

The public website is currently not intended to use analytics, advertising or marketing tracking services or corresponding tracking cookies.

During the protected preview phase, a technically necessary session cookie may be used solely for authentication.

8. SSL/TLS Encryption

This website is transmitted using encrypted HTTPS connections in order to help protect transmitted content and data from unauthorized access during transmission.

Subject to the applicable legal requirements, you have rights including access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection to certain processing activities.

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time with effect for the future.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent data protection supervisory authority.
