2. Delivery and hosting

This website is delivered through Cloudflare services. When you access the website, Cloudflare processes in particular your IP address, the date and time of the request, the requested address, technical information about your browser and operating system, and security and connection data.

This processing serves the secure, stable and fast delivery of the website. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the secure and reliable operation of this website.

The service provider is Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St., San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. For transfers to third countries, the data protection safeguards offered by Cloudflare are used, including its Data Processing Addendum and appropriate transfer mechanisms. Further information is available in the Cloudflare Privacy Policy.

Log data is processed only for as long as required for operation, security and compliance with legal obligations. Specific retention periods depend on the type and purpose of the respective log and the contractual Cloudflare settings.

3. Local display preference

When you switch between the light and dark appearance using the control in the header, your selection is stored under the key theme in your browser's local storage. This information remains exclusively in your browser and is not transmitted to us.

The storage is required to retain the appearance you expressly selected for a later visit. The legal basis under German law is Section 25(2)(2) TDDDG. You can remove the selection at any time by deleting this website's data in your browser.

4. Cookies and audience measurement

This website does not set its own cookies. No analytics, advertising or profiling services are used. A cookie consent banner is therefore not required.

5. External links

This website contains links to external services, including Linkedin, academic publishers and Bross Consulting. A connection to these providers is established only after you click the respective link. The external provider's privacy policy applies from that point onward.

6. Contact

If you contact us by email or through a linked external service, we process the information you submit to respond to your enquiry. Depending on the content, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) or (f) GDPR. The data is deleted when it is no longer required to handle the enquiry and no statutory retention obligation applies.

7. Your rights

Subject to the applicable legal requirements, you have rights including access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection. You may also lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, in particular the Bavarian Data Protection Authority.
