9. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to provide basic website functionality, maintain security, remember preferences and, where applicable, analyze website usage.

Strictly necessary cookies are required for the website to function properly and may be used without consent where permitted by law.

Analytics or marketing cookies, if used, will only be set where legally required consent has been obtained. You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling certain cookies may limit the functionality of the website.

If a cookie consent banner or analytics tool is added later, this section must be updated accordingly.

10. International Data Transfers

Some service providers used for website hosting, communication or technical services may process data outside the European Economic Area.

Where personal data is transferred to countries outside the European Economic Area, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as an adequacy decision by the European Commission, standard contractual clauses or other legally recognized safeguards under the GDPR.

We store personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, unless longer retention is required by law.

Contact inquiries are generally stored for the time necessary to respond to the inquiry and maintain appropriate business records.

Business and contract-related communication may be stored in accordance with applicable commercial and tax retention obligations.

Inspector registration data and cooperation-related information may be stored for as long as there is a reasonable business interest in possible cooperation, unless deletion is requested and no legal obligation requires further storage.

Technical log data is generally stored only for a limited period necessary for security and technical operation.

12. Data Security

We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.

However, internet-based data transmission can never be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore recommend that confidential or highly sensitive documents are not submitted through ordinary website forms unless specifically requested.
