Contact form

The contact form may collect your name, business email address, organisation, nature of enquiry and the message you choose to provide.
The form uses security mechanisms such as a WordPress nonce, a timing check and an invisible honeypot field. The form itself does not intentionally store the submitted enquiry as a separate contact-form record in the WordPress database; the message is transmitted by email to our business mailbox.

Legal basis: Article 6(1)(b) GDPR where your enquiry relates to a potential or existing contractual relationship. In other cases, processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest in responding to professional enquiries.

Please do not use the initial contact form to send confidential case files, casualty documents, dangerous-goods documentation or other sensitive material. An appropriate channel can be agreed after initial contact.

Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and for any applicable legal retention or defence requirements. Contact and email communications are deleted when they are no longer required, unless they form part of a contractual, accounting, tax, legal or claims-related record. Business correspondence may be subject to statutory retention obligations;
under German commercial and tax law, certain business correspondence is generally retained for six years.
