Server log files

The hosting provider automatically collects and stores information in server log files that your browser transmits:

• IP address
• Date and time of the request
• Page or file requested

• Operating system used

This data is not combined with other data sources and is stored only for as long as is necessary for the secure operation of the website. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

Cookies, fonts and images

This website does not set cookies and does not access information on your device. A cookie banner is therefore not required. Should we use cookies or comparable technologies in the future, we will provide information here and, where required, obtain your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and Section 25 (1) of the German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG).

Fonts are loaded from your device's system; no connection to font providers is established. Images are delivered by the hosting provider Vercel.

Contact form and email

Via the contact form you submit your name, email address and message. This information is not stored on this website but is delivered to us as an email from our Google mailbox via our internal system (admin.calios.de, operated by us on Vercel). Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, processes the email as the provider of our mailbox. To protect against automated submissions, the form contains a field that is invisible to humans; no captcha or third-party service is used.

If you write to us by email, we likewise process your details in order to handle your enquiry. In both cases, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR where the enquiry is aimed at a contract, and otherwise Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in responding to enquiries).

The data is deleted once your enquiry has been dealt with and no statutory retention obligations stand in the way. It is not passed on to third parties without your consent.

The website links to external websites, including profiles on LinkedIn (LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland), the websites of Michelle and Kosta Calios and the websites of the companies and investments in the portfolio.
