Privacy Policy

We take the protection of your personal data seriously. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the rights you have under the GDPR (DSGVO).

Last updated: 22 June 2026

Draft template — review with a data-protection advisor before relying on it, and keep it in sync with the tools you actually run (analytics, CRM, booking, email).

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:
West Consulting GmbH, [ Street and number ], [ PLZ ] Berlin, Germany
Email: info@westconsultings.com · Phone: +49 895 419 2733

2. Data we process

Contact & application forms: the name, email, company, jurisdiction, and message you submit voluntarily.
Newsletter: your email address, if you subscribe.
Server logs: your browser/device may transmit an IP address and technical metadata to our hosting provider when loading pages.

3. Purposes & legal basis

Responding to your enquiry and providing our services — Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR (steps prior to a contract) and Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR (consent).
Sending the monthly briefing — Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR (consent); you can unsubscribe at any time.
Operating and securing the website — Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in a functioning, secure site).

4. Hosting & processors

This site is hosted on Vercel. Form submissions are delivered by email through Resend. These providers act as processors under data-processing agreements (Art. 28 GDPR). Web fonts are self-hosted and served from our own infrastructure — no request is made to Google Fonts.

TODO: if any processor stores data outside the EU/EEA (e.g. US), confirm the transfer safeguard (EU Standard Contractual Clauses / Data Privacy Framework) and name it here.

5. Cookies & analytics

This website currently sets no marketing or tracking cookies and uses no third-party analytics. If we introduce analytics or other non-essential cookies, we will ask for your consent beforehand via a consent banner and update this policy.

6. Retention

We keep enquiry data only as long as necessary to handle your request and to meet statutory retention obligations (e.g. commercial and tax law). Newsletter data is kept until you unsubscribe.

7. Your rights

Under the GDPR you have the right to:

access your data (Art. 15), and to rectification (Art. 16) or erasure (Art. 17);
restriction of processing (Art. 18) and data portability (Art. 20);
object to processing based on legitimate interest (Art. 21);
withdraw consent at any time with future effect (Art. 7 (3));
lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Art. 77).
