  • If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.

  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defense, or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure.

  • If you have lodged an objection according to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your and our interests must be carried out. As long as it has not been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

Our websites use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small data packages and do not cause any harm to your end device. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your end device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them yourself or an automatic deletion takes place through your web browser.


Cookies can originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services of third-party companies within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).


Cookies have various functions. Numerous cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies can be used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes.


Cookies that are necessary for carrying out the electronic communication process, for providing certain functions you want (e.g., for the shopping cart function), or for optimizing the website (e.g., cookies for measuring the web audience) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to store cookies and similar recognition technologies has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG); the consent can be revoked at any time.


You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, as well as activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. When deactivating cookies, the functionality of this website may be limited.

This website uses the cookie banner provided by Framer (see “Hosting”) to obtain your consent to certain cookies and similar technologies and to document your choices. The banner is delivered together with the website; no separate consent service provider is involved.


Your choices are stored in your browser’s local storage so that the banner can respect them on your next visit. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time via the “Cookie settings” link at the bottom of every page, or by deleting your browser data.


Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected.


The cookie banner is used to obtain the legally required consent for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR in conjunction with § 25(1) TDDDG.

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your information from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. The form is provided by Framer: your entries are transmitted to Framer and forwarded to us by email. We do not disclose this data without your consent.


The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your request is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this has been requested; the consent can be revoked at any time.


The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions - especially retention periods - remain unaffected.

We do not disclose this data without your consent.


The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your request is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this has been requested; the consent can be revoked at any time.

Framer, our hosting provider, records statistics on visits to this website, such as pages viewed, referring websites, device type and country, so that we can see how the website is used. We only see these statistics in aggregated form. For details, please refer to Framer’s privacy statement: https://www.framer.com/legal/privacy-statement/.

The font is loaded from Google’s servers (fonts.gstatic.com) when you open a page, which transmits your IP address to Google.

Website Check

On this website you can have a company website checked free of charge. You enter a website address and answer four short questions about your goal, your buyers, your offer and your sales cycle. You then receive a score and findings for that website.

What is processed

  • The website address you enter and your answers.

  • The publicly accessible content of the page at that address, together with its robots.txt and llms.txt files and the technical information the server sends with them (for example response headers and the names of cookies, never their values). The check only reads. Nothing on the checked website is changed, and no forms are submitted.

  • Your IP address and the identification of your browser, to limit the number of checks per visitor and to protect the service against automated use. For this purpose a counter of checks per IP address is kept for up to 48 hours.

We do not ask for your name or your email address, and the check does not create a contact record. If you download the report as a PDF, the file is created in your browser; nothing is sent to us for it.

Storage period

The result of a check is stored under a random identifier for 24 hours so that the report can be displayed, and is then deleted automatically.

Legal basis

The processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in offering the check and in protecting it against misuse. Where the check is used in preparation for a possible engagement, the processing is also based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

Cloudflare (Workers and Turnstile)

The website check runs on servers of Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St., San Francisco, CA 94107, USA (hereinafter “Cloudflare”). When you start a check, your browser connects to Cloudflare. Cloudflare processes the data named above on our behalf, including your IP address.

To make sure a check is started by a person and not by an automated program, we use Cloudflare Turnstile. Turnstile is loaded only on the website check page. It evaluates technical information about your browser and device and your IP address, and may ask you to tick a box. According to Cloudflare, Turnstile is not used to track visitors or for advertising.

The use of Cloudflare is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in the secure and reliable operation of the website check and in protecting it against automated misuse. If appropriate consent has been obtained, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG; the consent can be revoked at any time.

Cloudflare’s data processing addendum applies to the use of this service. Data may be transferred to the USA. Cloudflare is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF); the transfer is additionally based on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission.

Further information can be found in Cloudflare’s privacy policy: https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/ and in the Turnstile privacy addendum: https://www.cloudflare.com/turnstile-privacy-policy/.
