  • Location of processing: [PLACEHOLDER: server location / safeguards for any transfer outside the EU/EEA].

Fonts, scripts and images

All fonts, scripts and images are served from our own website. We do not use Google Fonts or any other external font or content service, so no data is sent to third parties when a page loads.

If you contact us by email (hello@pb-consult.com) or phone (+49 2389 7787433), we process the data you provide (for example name, company, contact details and the content of your message) to handle your enquiry.

The email address hello@pb-consult.com and the phone number are operated by our sister company pB Consult GmbH, Werne, Germany (https://pb-consult.com). Your enquiry may therefore be received and handled by pB Consult GmbH on our behalf or together with us. [PLACEHOLDER: clarify whether pB Consult GmbH acts as processor (Art. 28 GDPR) or as joint controller (Art. 26 GDPR), and describe the arrangement here.]

For bookings made with our account, Calendly acts as our processor. [PLACEHOLDER: confirm which Calendly account is used (account holder) and that a data processing agreement with Calendly is in place.] Calendly may also use its own cookies on its pages. For details, see Calendly's privacy notice: https://calendly.com/privacy

  • Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (steps prior to entering into a contract at your request) and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (our legitimate interest in efficient appointment scheduling).
  • Transfer to the USA: Calendly LLC is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. The transfer is based on the adequacy decision of the European Commission of 10 July 2023 (Art. 45 GDPR).

We do not sell personal data and do not share it for advertising.

9. Storage period

Enquiries are deleted once they have been fully handled, unless they lead to a business relationship or we are required by law to keep them (for example under tax or company law).
