Collection of access data and log files

We, or rather our hosting provider, collect data about every access to the server on which this service is located (so-called server log files) on the basis of our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f. GDPR. The access data includes the name of the website accessed, the file, the date and time of access, the amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, browser type and version, the user’s operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address and the requesting provider.

Log file information is stored for security reasons (e.g. to investigate misuse or fraud) for a maximum period of 7 days and then deleted. Data that must be retained for evidentiary purposes is excluded from deletion until the respective incident has been finally clarified.

Handling of personal data

Personal data is information that can be used to identify a person, i.e. information that can be traced back to a person. This includes their name, email address or telephone number. However, data about preferences, hobbies, memberships or which websites someone has visited also counts as personal data.

Personal data is only collected, used and passed on by the provider if this is permitted by law or if users consent to the collection of data.

Contact

When contacting us (e.g. via contact form, email, telephone or social media), the user’s details will be processed for the purpose of handling the contact request and its processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR. User details may be stored in a customer relationship management system (‘CRM system’) or comparable enquiry organisation system.

We delete requests if they are no longer required. We review the necessity every two years; furthermore, the statutory archiving obligations apply.

Cookies

Cookies are small files that enable specific information relating to the device to be stored on the user’s access device (PC, smartphone, etc.). On the one hand, they serve to improve the user-friendliness of websites and thus benefit users (e.g. storage of login data). On the other hand, they serve to collect statistical data on website usage and to analyse it for the purpose of improving the website. Users can influence the use of cookies. Most browsers have an option that restricts or completely prevents the storage of cookies. However, it should be noted that the use and, in particular, the ease of use of the website will be restricted without cookies.

Right to information, deletion, blocking

You have the right to receive information free of charge at any time about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, as well as the right to correct, block or delete this data. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice if you have any further questions about personal data.
