Privacy

In the event of legal disputes, the German version is decisive.

1. Privacy at a glance

General information

The following information provides a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit this website. Personal data is any data by which you can be personally identified.

This website presents Leckelt Architekten, our services and projects. It stores your choice in the cookie banner in a necessary cookie, shows the Google map only with your consent, does not perform any usage analysis and protects the application form with Cloudflare Turnstile. When you visit, the hosting provider (Microsoft Azure) automatically records technical access data (server log files).

3. Hosting

This website is hosted by Microsoft Azure. The provider is Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA. For details, please refer to Microsoft’s privacy statement: privacy.microsoft.com.

Azure is used on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

4. Server log files

When you access this website, the hosting provider automatically processes information that your browser transmits in so-called server log files. The following data is recorded:

  • IP address
  • Date and time of the server request
  • Page accessed and amount of data transferred
  • Browser and operating system used
  • Referrer URL (previously visited page)

This data serves to ensure trouble-free operation and to improve security. It is deleted after a short time and is not combined with other data sources. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in the secure operation of the website).

5. Local fonts

This website uses the fonts Poppins and Raleway, which are stored locally on our server. No data is transferred to Google or other third parties when the fonts are loaded.

6. Enquiries via contact form, email, phone or fax

If you contact us by email, phone or fax, we process your enquiry including all resulting personal data (name, enquiry, contact details) in order to deal with your request. We do not pass this data on without your consent. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your enquiry is related to a contract or is necessary for taking pre-contractual steps, and otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The data remains with us until you ask us to delete it, withdraw your consent or the purpose no longer applies; statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

If you send us an enquiry via the contact form, your details from the form (email address, first name, last name, phone number and your message) are transmitted to us for the purpose of processing the enquiry. Sending takes place via the email interface of the exponde platform of our service provider pixelquadrat GmbH, Volmerswerther Straße 388, 40221 Düsseldorf, Germany, which processes the data only on our behalf (Art. 28 GDPR) and stores it only as long as necessary for sending. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your enquiry is related to a contract or is necessary for taking pre-contractual steps, and otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

7. Applications

You can apply to us via the form on our jobs page or by email. We process the data from your application (from the form: position, name, email address, phone number, salary expectations and your message; by email additionally cover letter, CV and certificates) solely for the purpose of carrying out the application process. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (initiation of an employment relationship), where applicable in conjunction with Section 26 BDSG (German Federal Data Protection Act). Only the people in our office involved in the process have access; we do not pass the data on to third parties. If an employment relationship is established, we keep the documents for its implementation. Otherwise, we delete them no later than six months after the end of the process, unless you have consented to longer storage (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) or legal obligations prevent this, such as obligations to provide evidence under the German General Equal Treatment Act.

The form sends your details as an email to us via the email interface of the exponde platform of our service provider pixelquadrat GmbH, Volmerswerther Straße 388, 40221 Düsseldorf, Germany. pixelquadrat processes the data only on our behalf (Art. 28 GDPR) and stores it only as long as necessary for sending. The form does not accept files; please send your documents by email.

8. Cloudflare Turnstile

To protect the contact form and the application form against automated misuse (spam, bots), we use the service “Cloudflare Turnstile” of Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. Turnstile is loaded as soon as you scroll to the form on the contact page or the jobs page and checks technical characteristics of your browser in the background to detect automated form submissions; in doing so, your IP address is transmitted to Cloudflare. No further profiling or tracking takes place. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in a functioning form protected against misuse pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Further information: cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.

9. Cookie settings and Google Maps

On your first visit, we ask for your consent via a cookie banner. We store your choice in the necessary cookie cc_cookie on your device so that the banner does not appear every time; it is deleted after six months. The legal basis is Section 25(2) No. 2 TDDDG (German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act) in conjunction with Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. The banner is loaded locally from our server; no data is transferred to third parties. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time via “Cookie settings” in the footer.

On the home page, we show a directions map from Google Maps. The map is only loaded if you accept the “Google Maps” category in the cookie settings; only then is data (including your IP address) transferred to Google. Without your consent, no data is transmitted to Google. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. The legal basis is your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG. If you withdraw your consent, the map is removed immediately. “Plan route” and the address in the footer are simple links that open Google Maps in a new window. Further information: policies.google.com/privacy.

10. Links to social networks

In the footer, we link to our profiles on Instagram (Meta Platforms Ireland Limited) and LinkedIn (LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company). These are simple links, not embedded plugins: no data is transferred to these providers when you visit this website. Only when you follow a link do the privacy terms of the respective provider apply.
