Legal basis: legitimate interest of the Controller (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

When you send a message via the contact form we collect your first name, last name, email address, topic and message text for the sole purpose of responding to your request. Data are retained until the request is resolved and in any case no longer than 2 years.
Legal basis: performance of pre-contractual measures at the data subject’s request (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).

Event pages embed videos via the YouTube service (Google LLC). When you play a video, YouTube may set cookies in accordance with its own policy: policies.google.com/privacy. We use the youtube-nocookie.com domain to reduce tracking before playback.
