Collection of general information when visiting our website
Type and purpose of processing:
When you access our website, i.e., if you do not register or otherwise provide information, general information is automatically collected. This information (server log files) includes, for example, the type of web browser, the operating system used, the domain name of your Internet service provider, your IP address, and similar data.
They are processed in particular for the following purposes:
- Ensuring a smooth connection to the website,
- Ensuring comfortable use of our website,
- Evaluation of system security and stability, and
- Optimization of our website.
We do not use your data to draw conclusions about your person. Information of this kind may be statistically evaluated by us in anonymized form in order to optimize our website and the technology behind it.
Legal basis and legitimate interest:
The processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website.
Recipients:
Recipients of the data may be technical service providers who act as processors for the operation and maintenance of our website.
Storage duration:
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose of its collection. This is generally the case for data that serves the provision of the website when the respective session has ended.
In the case of storage of data in log files, this is the case after 14 days at the latest. Further storage is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of users are anonymized so that assignment to the accessing client is no longer possible.
Provision prescribed or required:
The provision of the aforementioned personal data is neither legally nor contractually required. However, without the IP address, the service and functionality of our website cannot be guaranteed. In addition, individual services and features may not be available or may be restricted. For this reason, an objection is excluded.
