This website is hosted by netcup GmbH, Daimlerstraße 25, 76185 Karlsruhe, Germany. A data processing agreement in accordance with Article 28 GDPR has been concluded with the hosting provider.

When you visit this website, technical information transmitted to the server by your browser is automatically recorded in server log files:

Retention period: Log files are automatically deleted after no more than 14 days unless they are required to investigate a specific security incident.

3. Cookies

This website uses no cookies for identification, tracking or marketing purposes. A cookie banner is therefore not required.

4. Web analytics with Umami

We use Umami (Umami Software, Inc., 6 Liberty Square #6253, Boston, MA 02109, USA — umami.is) to compile statistical analyses of website usage.

Umami is a privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics solution. Only aggregated and anonymised data is collected:

• page visited (path)
• referrer (source page)
• browser type and operating system (anonymised)
• country (derived from the IP address, although the IP address itself is not stored)
• screen resolution

Returning visitors are recognised using a hash that changes daily. It is not possible to identify individuals. No cookies are set and no profile is created across multiple days.

Legal basis: Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in designing and improving our website in line with users' needs).

Transfers to third countries: Umami Cloud may process personal data in the United States. The transfer is based on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses pursuant to Article 46 GDPR. Further information is available in Umami's privacy policy.

If you contact us by email or telephone, your details (name, contact information and enquiry) will be stored so that we can process your enquiry and respond to any follow-up questions.

Legal basis: Article 6(1)(b) GDPR (steps prior to entering into a contract or performance of a contract) or Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in handling enquiries).

Retention period: We retain enquiries for as long as necessary to process them. Business correspondence is subject to statutory retention requirements of up to ten years under Sections 257 HGB and 147 AO.

6. Contact and registration forms

You can contact us directly through two forms on our website:

• Contact form (information about MRM): asks for your name, email address and message.

The forms are processed directly on our website and sent to us by email through our own server (netcup; see Section 2). Data is not shared with external form services or other third-party providers such as Google. We use the information submitted solely to process your enquiry, organise the show and respond to any follow-up questions.

In line with data minimisation principles, no IP address is stored when a form is submitted. Technical checks used to protect against automated misuse and spam do not collect any additional personal data.
