Depending on the processing activity, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(a), (b), (c) or (f) GDPR. Where access to or storage of information on a user’s device requires consent, we additionally rely on Section 25(1) TDDDG.

When the website is accessed, technical information may be processed in server log files. This may include the requested page or file, date and time of access, transferred data volume, browser type, operating system, referring page, IP address and technical status data.

The processing is necessary to deliver the website securely and reliably, detect technical faults and defend against misuse. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

5. Vimeo videos

We embed project films using the video platform Vimeo, provided by Vimeo.com, Inc., 330 West 34th Street, 5th Floor, New York, NY 10001, United States.

At present, Vimeo players are embedded directly on individual project pages. When a page containing a Vimeo player is opened, a connection to Vimeo may therefore be established before the video is actively played. In this context, Vimeo may receive technical connection data such as the IP address, browser and device information, the page visited, the time of access, referrer information and data relating to use of the player. Vimeo may also use cookies or comparable technologies.

The presentation of our audiovisual portfolio is in our legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR insofar as the processing can lawfully be based on that provision. Where Vimeo stores information on a user’s device or accesses information already stored there, prior consent may be required under Section 25(1) TDDDG and Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.

Vimeo content is currently loaded directly when the respective page is accessed. A connection to Vimeo may therefore be established before the video is actively played. Further information about the associated data processing is provided in this section.

Data may be transferred to the United States. Vimeo states that it participates in the EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework and may additionally use appropriate safeguards such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses where required.

6. Cookies and similar technologies

This website may use technically necessary storage mechanisms where required for security, basic functionality and reliable delivery. Where these mechanisms are strictly necessary, they are used on the basis of Section 25(2) TDDDG and Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Vimeo may use cookies or comparable technologies as described in the section above. A central consent-management solution is not yet active and is being prepared.

The DX Rigraf font used on this website is hosted locally on our own webspace. No connection to Google Fonts is required for this purpose.

The website is operated using WordPress and Elementor Pro. Autoptimize is used for technical optimisation and UpdraftPlus for backups. These tools support the secure and efficient operation of the website. They do not constitute separate advertising or analytics services in the configuration described here.

Internal production tools such as Frame.io, Adobe Creative Cloud, Microsoft Teams, DATEV, Google Drive, PicDrop or comparable services are not automatically used merely by visiting this website. They may become relevant later within a specific business or production relationship, in which case the relevant information is provided in that context.
