This website is provided via GitHub Pages, a service of GitHub, Inc., 88 Colin P. Kelly Jr. Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA.

4. Contact and quote forms

If you use the contact or quote form, we process the data you enter (name, company, email address, your message and, for quote requests, grade of interest and estimated quantity) in order to answer your enquiry. The form is transmitted via Web3Forms (web3forms.com), a form service that forwards the submission to us by email and acts as our processor; its servers may be located outside the EU. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where your enquiry relates to a possible contract (e.g. a quote request), and otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, based on our interest in answering enquiries. We delete your enquiry once it has been dealt with, unless statutory retention obligations apply.
