The legal basis for processing your data under GDPR is either your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR), or our legitimate interest in operating and securing our website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

5. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. Contact form submissions are retained for up to 12 months unless a longer retention period is required by law or an ongoing business relationship.
