Website delivery
When your browser requests a page or local asset, the hosting infrastructure necessarily receives connection data such as your IP address, request time, requested resource and browser-related headers. Technical logs may be processed to deliver the site, diagnose faults and protect it against misuse. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in secure, reliable publishing under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Technical data should be retained only as long as needed for those purposes, with longer retention limited to specific security incidents or legal obligations. This website's own JavaScript does not send analytics events or build visitor profiles. No external fonts, embedded maps or social-media widgets are included in the supplied pages.
The local contact tool
Typing into the message tool does not submit information to us. Draft fields and the generated preview remain in the current page's memory and are not saved by our script to local storage. Copying uses your browser's Clipboard API after your action; downloading creates a text file on your device. Your browser, operating system or clipboard manager may handle those copies independently.
You decide whether to send a message using your own email service. Once you do, the email and its contents are processed as correspondence rather than as a website form submission.
Email correspondence
If you email us, we process your address, the contents of your message and associated metadata to answer, investigate a correction or manage the request. Depending on the context, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR for pre-contractual or contractual enquiries, Article 6(1)(f) for ordinary editorial correspondence, or Article 6(1)(c) for legal obligations.
Correspondence is retained while needed to resolve the matter and document relevant editorial decisions or legal requirements. Please do not send unnecessary sensitive personal information. We do not sell correspondence or use it to enrol you in marketing.
Cookies and local preferences
The supplied site code sets no cookies. If you save a choice on the Cookies page, a first-party localStorage value records that choice in your browser. It contains no name or email address. It is used only to remember your stated preference and can be removed through browser settings. Saving “Accept” does not itself activate tracking.
Recipients and external websites
Hosting and email providers may process relevant data on our behalf where necessary to provide their services. Public authorities may receive information where legally required. We do not intentionally disclose personal data to advertisers. Any transfer outside the EEA requiring safeguards must rely on an applicable adequacy decision or other lawful mechanism, such as standard contractual clauses.
External sources are ordinary links. Clicking one takes you to another organisation's website, whose own privacy practices apply. Those sites are not loaded as embedded content by this atlas.
Your rights
Subject to the GDPR's conditions, you may request access, correction, erasure, restriction and data portability. You may object to processing based on legitimate interests, including on grounds relating to your particular situation. Where consent is the basis, you may withdraw it prospectively without affecting prior lawful processing.
You may complain to a supervisory authority, including the Bavarian State Office for Data Protection Supervision. We may request proportionate information to verify your identity before responding. We do not use this site's data for automated decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects.
Updates
We may revise this notice when the site's functions or legal requirements change. The effective date above identifies this version. Material additions to data collection require corresponding information before those functions are used.
