1.1 Thank you for visiting our website. In the following we would like to inform you about how we handle your personal data when you use our website. Personal data are generally all data with which you can be personally identified.

1.3 To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption procedures (e.g. SSL or TSL) via HTTPS.

2. Data collection when visiting our website
Whenever you visit our website, our system automatically records data and information that your browser sends to our server (so-called “server log files”). The following data, which are technically necessary for us, are collected:

  • Our visited website
  • Date and time of access
  • Amount of data sent in bytes
  • Source/reference from which you reached the site
  • Operating system used
  • Browser used
  • IP address used (if necessary: in anonymized form)

The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR due to our legitimate interest in improving the stability and maintaining the functionality of our website. The data will not be passed on or used in any other way. The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to the user’s computer.
For this purpose, the user’s IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.
We reserve the right to subsequently check the server log files if there are concrete indications of illegal use. The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for the purpose of their collection. In the case of the collection of data for the purpose of providing the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.
In the case of storage of the data in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Storage beyond this period is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible. The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. There is therefore no possibility of objection on the part of the user.
