Essential cookies are necessary for the functioning of the website and are used without consent.
Analytics and marketing cookies help us understand the use of the website or show content on third‑party platforms. These cookies are used only with your consent, where required.
You can manage cookies via your browser settings and, where implemented, via our cookie banner. Disabling cookies may limit certain functions of the website.

6. Third‑party services and data transfers
We may use third‑party providers to host the website, send newsletters, provide analytics, integrate social‑media content or offer other technical services. These providers may have access to personal data to the extent necessary to provide their services and are contractually obliged to process such data only on our instructions and in accordance with applicable law.
If personal data is transferred to countries without an adequate level of data protection, we will ensure appropriate safeguards (for example standard contractual clauses or other recognized mechanisms), unless an exception applies. You may contact us for further information and copies of the safeguards.
Embedded third‑party content (such as LinkedIn feeds, maps or videos) is provided by the respective providers under their own responsibility. When you interact with such content, you are subject to the privacy policies of those providers.
7. Data retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or to comply with legal or regulatory requirements.
Retention periods depend in particular on:
the duration of our business relationship with you;
statutory retention and documentation periods, especially under financial‑market, company and tax laws;
our legitimate interests (e.g. evidence purposes, security, defense of claims).
After expiry of the relevant periods we delete or anonymize the data, unless we are legally obliged or entitled to keep it longer.
8. Data security
We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access.
These measures include access controls, encryption where appropriate, regularly updated security software and staff training. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we strive to maintain a level of security appropriate to the risk.
