1. What happens when you register for office hours?
We process your name and email address, selected date, time and participation mode, and optional details about your startup/organisation and question. The website stores these details and the booking status in its access-restricted Supabase database to organise sessions and prevent double bookings. Only server-side processes can access booking details; other visitors see only available and occupied times. Acknowledgements and confirmations use the existing Lovable email service. When the Microsoft calendar connection is enabled, the participant details, time and information provided for the conversation are sent to Microsoft 365 to create an Outlook invitation and, for online sessions, an individual Teams link. Without this connection, registration remains a request awaiting separate confirmation. The details are not used for newsletters or advertising. To change or cancel a session or request deletion, contact info@kisler-consulting.de. Booking details are removed after session administration is complete unless further processing or retention is required; calendar entries and emails are managed separately.
2. Who is responsible for processing your data?
The controller under the GDPR is: Maik Kisler, Klopstockstraße 22, 65479 Raunheim, Germany. Email: info@kisler-consulting.de.
3. What data is processed when you visit the website?
When you visit our website, the server of our hosting provider, IONOS, automatically collects data such as your IP address, the date and time of access, the page visited, your browser and, where applicable, your operating system. This data is stored in log files and is used solely to ensure the stability, security and functionality of the website.
4. How are cookies used?
Our website uses cookies: small text files stored on your device. They help us operate the website and make it easier to use. Some cookies are technically necessary, while others are used for analytics or audience measurement. You can prevent cookies from being set through your browser settings, although this may limit the website's functionality.
5. What happens when you use our contact form?
When you use the contact form, we process your details to handle your enquiry. An email address or phone number is sufficient; your name, message, company, topic, audience and preferred format are optional. Any existing event reference is also transmitted. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR for contractual or pre-contractual enquiries, and otherwise Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries). The content is not saved in a website database or browser storage. The email service of our website provider, Lovable, and its subprocessors transmit the enquiry to our inbox. A purely transactional confirmation without advertising is requested for delivery only if you provide an email address; that delivery may fail. No automated text messages or phone calls are triggered. Service providers process the data to deliver the emails and may store or log message contents and delivery data. Transfers to third countries, particularly the United States, cannot be ruled out. To limit abuse, the website processes IP addresses and timestamps in server memory; the rate limit covers a ten-minute period. Request IDs and delivery statuses are temporarily held in memory to avoid duplicate delivery. The website does not log message contents. Your enquiry must be deleted once it has been dealt with, unless statutory retention obligations require otherwise; specific deletion periods and their implementation in the inbox must be defined before publication. You have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability and objection (Articles 15–21 GDPR), as well as a right to complain to a supervisory authority. [Legal review required before publication: complete provider and recipient details, Article 13 information, legal bases including the confirmation email, a privacy notice without a mandatory checkbox, data processing agreements, safeguards for third-country transfers, and technical retention and deletion periods at every service provider involved.]
6. How are emails processed?
If you contact us directly by email, your details are likewise used only to handle your enquiry. They are not shared with third parties without your consent.
7. Which external services are used?
We integrate LinkedIn to make our content and profiles visible. Technical data such as your IP address or browser information may be transmitted to LinkedIn. We may also use Calendly to enable appointment bookings. If you book an appointment through Calendly, your details, such as your name and email address, are processed to manage the appointment.
8. How long is data stored?
We store personal data only for as long as it is needed for the relevant purpose or as required by law. It is then deleted or restricted.
9. What rights do you have?
You have the right to obtain information about the data we hold about you at any time. You can have inaccurate data corrected, request its erasure or restriction of processing, or object to processing. You also have the right to have your data transferred in a commonly used format. You can exercise these rights by sending an informal request to info@kisler-consulting.de.
10. Who can you contact with a complaint?
If you believe that the processing of your data infringes the GDPR, you have the right to complain to a supervisory authority. In Hesse, the responsible authority is the Hessian Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information in Wiesbaden.
11. How is your data protected?
We use technical and organisational measures to protect your data against loss, manipulation and unauthorised access. Our website runs on WordPress and is hosted by IONOS, which also maintains appropriate security standards.
12. Will the privacy notice be updated?
This privacy notice reflects the position as of October 2025. It will be updated if legal requirements change or new features are added to our website.
