2. General information on data processing

We process personal data only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and to deliver our content and services.

When you visit this website, Vercel automatically collects and stores information in server log files (including IP address, date and time of access, pages accessed, browser type, operating system and referrer URL). This data is technically necessary to deliver the website and to ensure its stability and security (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).

When you contact us by email or through a contact form, the information you provide (e.g. name, institution, email address, content of the enquiry) is stored for the purpose of processing and any follow-up correspondence (Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR). We will not share this data without your consent. Data is deleted once the purpose of collection has been fulfilled and no statutory retention obligations apply.

5. Cookies and analytics

This website does not use analytics or tracking services and does not set any cookies beyond those that are technically necessary. A cookie consent banner is therefore not required.
