2. General notes on data processing

We take the protection of your personal data seriously. Personal data on this website is processed only to the extent necessary. No analytics or marketing tools are used. All fonts used on this website are loaded from our own server — no connection is made to external font services.

3. Hosting and server log files

This website is hosted via Google Firebase Hosting. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

When the website is accessed, Firebase automatically records technical access data in server log files:

• IP address
• Date and time of access
• Requested URL

• Referrer URL

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest). Our legitimate interest lies in the secure and stable provision of this website. Log data is processed by Google in accordance with their privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy.

4. Google Maps

On the "Contact" and "About" pages we embed maps from Google Maps. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

The map is only loaded after you actively click "Load map" (two-click solution). Only at that point is a connection to Google's servers established, transmitting your IP address and browser information.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent). You can withhold consent by not loading the map. For more information, see Google's privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent given by actively submitting the form). You may withdraw your consent at any time by sending an informal email to hello@sacredvalleytech.com ; your data will then be deleted promptly.
