2. Data We Collect
We only collect personal data that you voluntarily provide to us, for example through:

- event or service requests.
This may include your name, email address, phone number, organization, and any message content you submit.
We do not collect any sensitive personal data, and we do not use cookies for tracking or analytics unless explicitly stated elsewhere on this website.
3. Purpose and Legal Basis
We process your personal data only to respond to your inquiry and for general communication with you.
Legal basis (Art. 6 (1) GDPR):
(a) your consent, when you submit the contact form,
(b) our legitimate interest in providing customer service and communication,
(b) in some cases, to prepare or perform a contract if you request product information or service.
Your data will not be used for marketing without your explicit consent.
4. Contact Form and Email Communication
When you use our contact form, your details are transmitted securely via Resend, a transactional email service provided by Plus Five Five, Inc., headquartered in the United States.
Resend operates servers and processes data exclusively on Amazon Web Services (AWS) servers located in Ireland (eu-west-1).
This ensures that all processing takes place within the European Union.
The information you provide is sent once to Ziegelmayer Boats (as the recipient) and once to you (as confirmation of receipt).
Resend acts as our data processor in accordance with Article 28 GDPR, and the transfer is covered by standard contractual clauses and appropriate safeguards.
All data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and handled according to GDPR compliance standards.
We use the submitted information solely to process your inquiry and provide customer support.
5. Data Retention
We retain your data only as long as necessary to process your request or comply with legal obligations.
Once your inquiry has been completed and no further communication is required, your data will be deleted within 12 months.
Emails subject to commercial or tax obligations may be stored longer according to German retention laws (HGB and AO).
6. Data Sharing
We do not share your data with third parties except:
- when required by law, or
- when necessary for the performance of a contract (e.g. with logistics or service providers).
We do not sell or rent personal data under any circumstances.

Access – to receive a copy of your data we hold.

8. Security
We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data from loss, misuse, or unauthorized access.
All communication between your browser and our server is encrypted via SSL/TLS.
