Legal basis Consent: What data do we store and why?
We process your data depending on how you use our website:

When using the contact form, you voluntarily provide us with the following data about yourself:
- E-mail addresses for answering your enquiry by e-mail.
- Message with the usual content of emails (enquiry text, optional: user name, name, other contact details).
- The data sent will only be used to process your enquiry.
For all site visitors – even without login: Access data
The provider collects access data and creates server log files about every access to the website (so-called server log files) which are necessary for the operation of web servers and to protect the server from misuse and attacks.
The access data includes
Name of the website accessed
- Name of the website accessed

- Date and time of the retrieval
- Amount of data transferred
- Notification of successful retrieval
- Browser type and version
- Operating system of the user
- Referrer URL (the previously visited page)
- IP address of the requesting provider or user
The provider uses the log data only for statistical evaluations for the purpose of operation, security and optimisation of the offer. However, the provider reserves the right to check the log data retrospectively if there is a justified suspicion of unlawful use based on concrete evidence.
Third-party content
It is possible that third-party content, such as videos from YouTube and graphics from other websites or similar, may be integrated into this online offering. This always presupposes that the providers of this content (hereinafter referred to as “third-party providers”) collect the IP address of the user, because without the IP address, they would not be able to send the content to the browser of the respective user. The IP address is therefore required to display this content. We endeavour to only use content whose respective providers only use the IP address to deliver the content. However, we have no influence on whether the third-party providers store the IP address, e.g. for statistical purposes. Insofar as we are aware of this, we will inform users of this.
Cookies
Cookies are small files that make it possible to store specific, device-related information on the user’s access device (PC, smartphone, etc.). On the one hand, they serve the user-friendliness of websites and thus the users (e.g. storage of login data). On the other hand, they are used to collect statistical data on website usage and to analyse it in order to improve the website. Users can influence the use of cookies. Most browsers have an option to restrict or completely prevent the storage of cookies. However, it should be noted that the use and in particular the ease of use are restricted without cookies. You can manage many online advertising cookies from companies via the US website http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU website http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/.

Disclaimer on the Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on this Website
All texts on this website, which presents our Erasmus Plus project, are fully created by us. However, we occasionally use AI tools to support language and clarity improvements in foreign languages.
Additionally, some of the visual design elements, such as the watercolor artwork, were partially created using the image AI tool MidJourney.
All photos depicting people or realistic looking scenes, particularly members of our team, have been created without the use of AI.
