3. Contact via Contact Form or Email

a) Type and Purpose of Data Processing

When you contact us via the contact form or by email, the personal data you voluntarily provide will be processed to handle your request. Specifically, this includes:

• Your Name
• Your Email Address

The sole purpose of processing this data is to communicate with you to answer your inquiry and for any related technical administration.

b) Legal Basis

The processing of this data is based on your explicit consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, which you grant by submitting your request. If your inquiry aims at concluding a contract (e.g., a project inquiry), Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR serves as an additional legal basis for processing.

c) Storage Duration

The data you provide will be stored by us until the purpose of the conversation is fulfilled. After your request has been fully processed, your data will be deleted. This will generally occur no later than 90 days after the communication ends.

Data will be deleted immediately upon your request (see "Your Rights as a Data Subject").

Statutory retention obligations, for example, for business correspondence under commercial or tax law, remain unaffected by the deletion. In such cases, the processing of the data will be restricted.

As a data subject, you are entitled to comprehensive rights regarding the processing of your data:

The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. You can declare your withdrawal informally via email to benjamin@wilhelmit.de.
