The transfer of personal data, which you communicate to us in the context of a voluntary establishment of contact (e.g., a request for funding), takes place expressly on a voluntary basis and with your consent. Personal data provided within the scope of establishing contact is used exclusively for the processing of inquiries. For this purpose, it will be stored electronically to the extent necessary.
