2.  Data collection when you visit our website

 

Every time you visit our website, our system automatically collects data and information that your browser transmits to our server (so-called "server log files"). The following data, which is technically necessary for us, is collected:

 

-  Our visited website

-  Date and time at the time of access

-  Amount of data sent in bytes

-  Source/reference from which you came to the page

-  Operating system used

-  Browser used

The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR on the basis of 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 be stored for the duration of the session.

We reserve the right to check the server log files retrospectively if there are concrete indications of illegal use. The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.

If the data is stored in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Storage beyond this is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated so that it is no longer possible to assign the calling client. 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. Consequently, there is no possibility of objection on the part of the user.

For this purpose, advertising and information from third-party providers are analysed and target groups for certain marketing activities are identified. However, there is no personal assignment of data in this case. The data will be deleted after two months.
