We have not appointed a data protection officer, as we are not legally obliged to do so. For questions regarding data protection, simply write to us at the email address above.

The essentials in brief

  • This website uses no cookies and stores nothing on your device.
  • We use no tracking, no analytics tools, and no advertising networks.
  • Our fonts are hosted on our own server; no fonts are loaded from Google or other providers.
  • YouTube videos are only loaded when you click on them.
  • We only use data you send us (enquiry, email, application) to process your request.

Hosting and Server Log Files

This website is hosted by Vercel Inc., 440 N Barranca Ave #4133, Covina, CA 91723, USA. When you access the website, Vercel processes technically necessary data to deliver the pages and ensure operational security (server log files):

  • IP address of the requesting device
  • Date and time of access
  • Accessed address and amount of data transferred
  • Referrer (the previously visited page, if transmitted)
  • Browser and operating system

The legal basis is our legitimate interest in a secure and functional website (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). We have a data processing agreement with Vercel (Art. 28 GDPR). Vercel is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework; the transfer to the USA is based on the EU Commission's adequacy decision (Art. 45 GDPR) and, additionally, on standard contractual clauses. Log files are automatically deleted by Vercel after a short period. More information can be found in Vercel's privacy policy.

Vercel also delivers the images and films on this website; the same information applies.

Language by Country

Upon first access, the website shows visitors from Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, and Luxembourg the German version, and everyone else the English version. For this, Vercel only derives the country from your IP address. The country is not stored and not linked to other data; no cookie is set. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in showing you the website in an appropriate language (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). Your own language choice always takes precedence.

Cookies, Tracking, and Fonts

This website does not set cookies and does not use your browser's local storage, nor tracking, analytics, or advertising services. Therefore, there is no cookie banner.

This website's font (Bricolage Grotesque) is stored on our server and loaded from there. There is no connection to Google Fonts or other font providers.

Contact by Email or Phone

If you contact us by email or phone, we process your information (such as name, contact details, and your request) to respond to your enquiry. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your enquiry is related to a contract or its initiation, otherwise our legitimate interest in responding (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

We delete your information as soon as your request has been dealt with and no legal retention obligations (e.g., under commercial and tax law) prevent deletion.

Enquiry Form

You can describe a project to us using the enquiry form. We process the information you enter: your project, the desired scope and timeframe, as well as your name, company, and contact details. The information is only transmitted when you submit the form in the final step; before that, everything remains in your browser and is not stored.

The information is transmitted via our hosting provider Vercel to our email inbox (anfragen@brussobaum.de). [CHECK: Name email provider and sending service once determined.] The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (initiation of a contract). We delete the information if no contract is concluded, at the latest after six months; if a contract is concluded, the statutory retention periods apply.

Applications

If you apply to us, we process your application documents to decide on employment (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR in conjunction with § 26 BDSG). Only those involved in the decision-making process will see your documents.

If no employment comes about, we delete your documents six months after the rejection, unless you have consented to longer storage for future positions.

YouTube Videos

Some films on this website are stored on YouTube. Before you click on such a film, we only show a preview image from our own server; no connection to YouTube is established. Only with your click is the film loaded in enhanced privacy mode (youtube-nocookie.com). Your browser then transmits data such as your IP address to Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; a transfer to Google LLC in the USA is possible (Google is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework).

The legal basis is your consent by clicking on the film (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). More information can be found in Google's privacy policy.

Links to Other Websites

This website contains links, for example, to our social media profiles, to our Google reviews, or for sharing a post on LinkedIn. As long as you do not click on such a link, no data is transferred to the respective provider. After clicking, the privacy policy of the respective provider applies.

Your Rights

You have the right at any time to:

  • Information about your stored data (Art. 15 GDPR)
  • Rectification of inaccurate data (Art. 16 GDPR)
  • Erasure (Art. 17 GDPR) and restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
  • Data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
  • Object to processing based on our legitimate interest (Art. 21 GDPR)
  • Withdraw consent with effect for the future (Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR)

An informal message to hello@brussobaum.de is sufficient.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. The competent authority for us is the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information Baden-Württemberg.

Status

October 2026. We will adapt this statement if the website or the legal situation changes.
