Privacy Policy
Last updated:
This notice explains what happens to your information when you use this website. The most important point is that this website has no backend: the enquiry and assessment forms are prepared entirely in your browser, and nothing reaches Bavaria Consultants until you send a message yourself through WhatsApp or email.
1. Who is responsible
The party responsible for processing personal data in connection with this website and with enquiries you send is:
- Bavaria Consultants
- LocationNandlstadt, Germany
- Emailbavariaconsultants@gmail.com
- Telephone / WhatsApp+49 177 2210624
The complete legal identity details for the Impressum have not yet been finalised. See the Impressum for the information currently available.
This section is awaiting confirmation by a qualified professional.
2. Hosting and technical access logs
This website is delivered by an external hosting provider. Like virtually all web servers, the provider’s systems record technical request information such as the requesting IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring page, and the date and time of the request. This happens at the hosting level; the website application itself does not read, analyse or retain these logs.
The legal basis is the legitimate interest in operating a stable and secure website (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). Retention of server logs is determined by the hosting provider.
The hosting arrangement, including any data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR, still has to be confirmed and named here before launch.
This section is awaiting confirmation by a qualified professional.
3. How the enquiry and assessment forms work
The contact form and the service-specific assessment forms run entirely in your browser. There is no submit endpoint, no API route and no database behind them. Nothing you type is transmitted to this website’s server.
- You complete the form locally.
- The website assembles a message text from your answers, still in your browser.
- Choosing WhatsApp or Email opens that application with the message prepared.
- You review the message and decide whether to send it.
If you close the page without sending, your answers simply disappear with the page. This website does not store the form, does not save drafts and does not record that you ticked the declaration boxes.
4. Contact via WhatsApp
Choosing WhatsApp opens a wa.me link to the business number with the prepared text. From the moment WhatsApp opens, the message content and the associated communication metadata are handled by WhatsApp under its own terms and privacy policy, and by Bavaria Consultants in its ordinary WhatsApp account. This website uses only the free wa.me link format; it does not use the WhatsApp Business API.
5. Contact via email
Choosing Email opens a mailto: draft in whichever email application your device is configured to use. This website does not send email, does not use an email delivery service and has no server-side mail function. Your email provider and the recipient’s mailbox process the message once you send it.
6. CV and document attachments
When you select a CV or document in a form, this website reads only the file name so it can remind you about it. The file contents are never read, never converted, never uploaded and never transmitted by this website. There is no upload endpoint and no file storage.
You attach the actual files yourself, in WhatsApp or in your email application, after it opens. Please attach only what is genuinely needed for your enquiry.
7. What information you may choose to send
The forms offer fields for the information a preliminary assessment usually needs. You decide what to fill in and what to send. Depending on the service, the fields may cover:
- Name, date of birth, nationality and country of residence
- Email address and phone or WhatsApp number
- Passport validity and previous visa history, including earlier refusals
- Education, qualifications, language levels and work experience
- Family and financial details where the chosen service requires them
Some of these details are sensitive. Send only what is relevant, and where a field concerns another person, please share it only with their agreement.
8. Why the information is used
- To answer your enquiry and arrange a consultation.
- To prepare a preliminary, informational assessment of your situation.
- To provide the consultancy services you subsequently agree.
9. Legal basis
- Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR
- Steps taken at your request before entering into a contract, and the performance of an agreed consultancy contract.
- Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR
- The legitimate interest in responding to general enquiries and in operating a stable, secure website.
The declaration boxes in the forms are there so you can see and confirm what you are agreeing to before you send a message. Because this website has no backend, it cannot and does not create a record that you ticked them; the confirmations you accept are written into the message text you send.
This section is awaiting confirmation by a qualified professional.
10. Third-party communication providers
Once you continue in WhatsApp or in your email application, that service processes your message under its own privacy policy and its own terms. Their policies, including any cookies or tracking they use on their own services, are outside the control of this website. Please review them if that matters to you.
11. Retention once a message has reached us
This website retains nothing. Once your message has reached Bavaria Consultants through WhatsApp or email, it is kept for as long as it is needed to deal with your enquiry and any resulting engagement, and for as long as applicable statutory obligations require. No fixed period is stated here, because it depends on the enquiry and on those obligations.
You may ask at any time for your enquiry to be deleted; see your rights below.
12. Security
This website is served over HTTPS, so the connection between your browser and the server is encrypted. Because the site holds no accounts, no submissions and no uploaded files, there is no visitor data store on it to breach. Messages you send are protected by the security of the communication service you choose.

- Access (Art. 15)

- Rectification (Art. 16)

15. No automated decision-making
This website performs no automated eligibility scoring and no profiling. The assessment forms only collect and format your answers; any assessment is made by a person and is preliminary and informational.

Possible payment methods
- Credit Card

Payment methods are shown for information only. This website does not process online payments. The applicable method and payment instructions are confirmed separately after the service scope and fees are agreed.
17. No analytics or advertising trackers
This website uses no web analytics, no advertising or remarketing tags, no social media pixels and no third-party tracking scripts. There is no Google Analytics, no Meta Pixel and no tag manager.
