Processing is carried out in particular on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, where it is necessary to take steps prior to entering into a contract or to perform a contract, and on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, where we have a legitimate interest.
3. Hosting
This website is hosted by IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Straße 57, 56410 Montabaur, Germany.
When you visit the website, the hosting provider processes data that is technically required. This may include in particular:

- browser type and version
- operating system used
- device type

- anonymised IP address
This processing serves to provide the website securely, reliably and without technical errors, and to detect and prevent misuse and attacks.
The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the secure and reliable operation of our website.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with IONOS in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.
4. IONOS WebAnalytics
As part of our web hosting, IONOS WebAnalytics is used to evaluate the use of our website for statistical purposes.
According to IONOS, the analysis is carried out without the use of cookies. Visitors’ IP addresses are anonymised after transmission and then processed without any personal reference.
Depending on the technical implementation, the data is collected via a pixel or via the server log files. In particular, information about the pages accessed, the time of access, browser, operating system, device type and the origin of the visit may be processed.
Processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the statistical evaluation and optimisation of our website.
5. Contacting us
If you contact us by email or phone, we process the information you provide in order to handle your enquiry and any follow-up questions.
Depending on the content of your enquiry, processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where it relates to the initiation or performance of a contract. In all other cases, processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR due to our legitimate interest in handling business and general enquiries.
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the respective purpose, unless statutory retention obligations apply.
6. Booking enquiry form (Artistu)
Our contact pages include a booking enquiry form provided by Artistu. The provider is Hagen NK, trading as Artistu, Utrechtseweg 310 B46, 6812 AR Arnhem, the Netherlands.
As soon as you open one of our contact pages, the Artistu embed script is loaded from artistu.nl and the form is embedded. For technical reasons, connection data is transmitted to Artistu in the process, in particular your IP address, information about your browser and, where applicable, the address of the referring page (referrer). According to Artistu, the embedded form itself does not set any cookies and does not use local storage.
Artistu uses sub-processors for this purpose, in particular Cloudflare for network security and the handling of data traffic, and Sentry for error and performance monitoring. These service providers may also process the technical connection data mentioned above.
The booking data you enter in the form is transmitted to Artistu when you submit the form.
The embedding of the form when you open a contact page is based on our legitimate interest in providing a simple and reliable way to submit booking enquiries (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The booking data submitted is processed to handle your booking enquiry and to take steps prior to entering into a contract in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR and, where necessary, on the basis of our legitimate interest in the efficient handling and management of booking enquiries in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Artistu processes the data on our behalf. We have concluded a data processing agreement with Artistu in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.
