Privacy Policy

Represented by Lukas Weidauer, Henry-Budge-Straße 20, 22297 Hamburg

1. Access data and hosting

You can visit our websites without providing any personal information. Every time a website is accessed, the web server automatically saves a so-called server log file, which contains, for example, the name of the requested file, your IP address, date and time of retrieval, amount of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the retrieval.

This access data is evaluated exclusively for the purpose of ensuring trouble-free operation of the site and improving our offering. In accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter f of the GDPR, this serves to protect our legitimate interests, which predominate in the context of a balancing of interests, in a correct presentation of our offer. All access data will be deleted no later than seven days after the end of your visit to the site.


As part of processing on our behalf, a third-party provider provides us with the services of hosting and displaying the website. This serves to protect our legitimate interests, which predominate in the context of a balancing of interests, in a correct presentation of our offer. All data collected as part of the use of this website or in the forms provided for this purpose as described below are processed on its servers. Processing on other servers only takes place within the framework explained here.

2. Data collection and use for contract processing

We collect personal data if you voluntarily provide this information when contacting us (e.g. via contact/booking form or email). Mandatory fields are marked as such because in these cases we absolutely need the data to process the contract or to process your contact. Which data is collected can be seen from the respective forms. We use the data you provide in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter b GDPR to process the contract and process your inquiries. After the contract or your request has been fully processed, your data will be restricted for further processing and deleted after the tax and commercial law retention periods have expired, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use your data beyond this, as required by law is permitted and about which we inform you in this declaration.

We only process your personal data for the purposes stated in this data protection declaration. Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those mentioned. We will only share your personal information with third parties if:

  • you have given your express consent to this,
  • the processing is necessary to carry out a contract with you,
  • the processing is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation,

the processing is necessary to protect legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding legitimate interest in not disclosing your data.

3. Email advertising with registration for the newsletter


If you register for our newsletter, we will use the data required for this or provided separately by you to regularly send you our email newsletter based on your consent in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter a GDPR.

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time and can do so either by sending a message to the contact option described below or via a link provided for this purpose in the newsletter. After you unsubscribe, we will delete your email address unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use your data beyond this, which is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this declaration.

The newsletter is sent via the third-party provider Mailchimp.
