Our hosting provider automatically collects and stores information that your browser transmits (browser type and version, operating system, referrer URL, date and time of access, IP address) in log files. This data is not combined with other data sources.

When you reach us through the contact form or the career form, the details you provide — name, email, phone, message content, and for career applications also your CV and cover letter — are processed to handle your request and to contact you if needed.
This data is processed based on the explicit consent you give by checking the consent box before submitting the form. You may withdraw your consent at any time. Submitted data is forwarded to the relevant department by email; an external service provider is used for email delivery.

Unless stated otherwise in this policy, your personal data is retained until the purpose of processing no longer applies. If you make a valid deletion request or withdraw your consent, your data will be deleted unless we have another lawful basis for retention.
