If you contact me by email or telephone, I process the information you provide, including your contact details, to respond to your enquiry and any subsequent questions.

If your enquiry relates to an existing or prospective contractual relationship, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. In other cases, processing is based on my legitimate interest in responding to enquiries pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

This website uses a consent function to obtain and record your choices concerning optional external content.

To remember your selection, technically necessary consent information may be stored in a cookie or in your browser’s local storage. This information is required to ensure that content requiring consent is not loaded without your permission.

Access to or storage of technically necessary information on your device is based on Section 25(2) TDDDG. Any associated processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR and, where necessary to document consent, Article 6(1)(c) GDPR.

External content and other non-essential technologies are activated only after you have given your consent. The legal basis in these cases is Section 25(1) TDDDG in conjunction with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.

You may withdraw or change your consent at any time with effect for the future through the website’s consent settings. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
