The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR, if your request is related to the execution of a contract or is necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on my legitimate interest in the effective processing of requests addressed to me (Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR) if this has been requested; the consent can be revoked at any time. The data you send to me via contact requests will remain with me until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.
