5. Analytics Tools and Advertising
Wix
Wix may use its own analytics tools to statistically evaluate visitor behavior. Technical data such as IP address, referrer, browser type, and actions on the website may be collected.
Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street,
Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Analytics uses cookies that enable analysis of your website usage. The information generated by the cookies is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
We use Google Analytics with IP anonymization enabled. This means your IP address is shortened by Google within the EU or EEA before transmission. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.
Legal basis:
Storage of Google Analytics cookies and use of the tool is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, § 25(1) TTDSG). Consent can be withdrawn at any time.
Data Processing Agreement:
We have concluded a DPA with Google and fully comply with the strict requirements of German data protection authorities.
Opt‑out:
You can prevent cookie storage via your browser settings. You can also prevent Google from collecting and processing your data by installing the browser plugin available at:
https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

Google Business & Google Fonts (via Wix):
We may use Google Business services (e.g. Google Business Profile) to provide information about our company and to improve our online presence. In this context, data may be processed by Google in accordance with Google’s privacy policy.
Our website is created with Wix. In some cases, Google Fonts may be integrated via Wix to ensure a consistent and appealing presentation of our content. When accessing our website, your browser may load fonts from Google servers. In doing so, your IP address and other technical information may be transmitted to Google.
The use of Google services and Google Fonts is based on our legitimate interest in a technically stable and visually optimized website.
For more information on how Google processes data, please refer to Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
6. Social Media
This website may contain social media elements (e.g., Facebook or Instagram buttons). A connection to the provider’s servers is only established when you actively click these elements.
7. AI & Chat Bot
We use an AI-powered chat function on our website to facilitate communication and improve our services. Personal data is processed through the chat or contact form only if you actively provide such data when submitting your message (e.g., your name, email address, phone number, or other identifying information contained in the message).
All submitted messages are transmitted directly to the website owner and are personally reviewed and individually answered.
Our website is operated using the platform provided by Wix.com Ltd.. Wix processes personal data as a data processor within the meaning of Article 28 GDPR on the basis of a Data Processing Agreement (DPA). Processing may take place within the European Union, the European Economic Area (EEA), and Israel. Israel benefits from an adequacy decision of the European Commission pursuant to Article 45 GDPR.
Where personal data is transferred to third countries outside the EEA without an adequacy decision, appropriate safeguards pursuant to Articles 44 et seq. GDPR are implemented, including the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and supplementary technical and organizational measures where required.
Transparency Regarding Artificial Intelligence
The chat function is based on artificial intelligence technology. The AI system serves solely to assist in structuring and supporting incoming inquiries. No automated decision-making within the meaning of Article 22 GDPR takes place that produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.
Chat interactions may be processed for quality assurance, system security, and further development or optimization of the AI system, provided that no personal data is included or such data has been anonymized or pseudonymized beforehand.
Right to Object (Opt-Out)
You have the right to object at any time pursuant to Article 21 GDPR to the processing of your personal data for training or optimization purposes. You may exercise this right informally by contacting us via the contact details provided in the legal notice or this privacy policy.
Legal Basis and Data Retention
The legal basis for processing is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures) and Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in efficient communication and IT security). Where consent is required, processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.
Personal data is stored only for as long as necessary to process your inquiry. In general, inquiries are retained for up to 12 months after final processing unless statutory retention obligations require longer storage.
