When using my contact form

I would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

There is a contact form on my website that can be used to contact me electronically. It is necessary to provide a valid e-mail address so that it can be traced from whom the inquiry originates and so that it can be answered. Further information can be provided voluntarily.
If you use my contact form or contact me by email, your data will be processed on the basis of your voluntary consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.

If a user makes use of the contact form, the data entered in the input mask will be transmitted to me and stored. The following data is stored: Name, e-mail address of the user, telephone number, message. The following data is also stored at the time the message is sent: IP address of the user, date and time of registration.

You can revoke your consent at any time. The revocation does not affect the legality of the data processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.

You can recognize an encrypted page by the address line of the browser, which changes from “http://” to “https://”, or by the lock symbol in the browser line.
Please do not enter any confidential information, especially health data, in the contact form or in an unencrypted e-mail, but only use it to make initial contact.
