Legal basis: Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; Art. 31 nFADP). As no personal data is processed, cookie consent is not required.

If a contact form is provided on the website, the data entered (name, email, message) is used exclusively to process the enquiry and is then deleted. It is not passed on to third parties.

Legal basis: Steps prior to entering into a contract / legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(b), (f) GDPR).

2.4 User contributions (Padlet)

Contributions to the interactive world map are submitted via the external platform Padlet (Wallwisher Inc., USA). Padlet processes the data of contributors independently. Padlet’s privacy policy applies: padlet.com/privacy

We have no direct access to the user data stored by Padlet. Data is transferred to the USA on the basis of the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (Art. 46 GDPR).
