Collection of general information when you visit our website

Type and purpose of processing:

If you access our website, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise transmit information, information of a general nature is collected automatically. Such information (server logfiles) contain, for example, the type of web browser, the operating system used, the domain names of your internet service provider, your IP address and similar.  

It is, in particular, processed for the following purposes:

  • Ensuring problem-free connection to the website,
  • Ensuring trouble-free use of our website,
  • Evaluating system security and stability and
  • other administrative purposes.

We do not use your data to draw conclusions about you as an individual. Information of this type is, where appropriate, statistically evaluated, to optimise our online presence and the technology behind it.

Legal basis:

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 are, where applicable, technical service providers, who act as processors for the operation and maintenance of our website  

Storage period:

Data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected. For data used for provision of the website, this is categorically the case when the respective session has ended.

Provision prescribed or required:

Provision of the above-referenced personal data is prescribed neither by law nor contract. Without the IP address, however, the service and functionality of our website is not guaranteed. In addition, individual services may not be available or may be restricted. For these reasons, objections are excluded.

Additionally, we record order of the newsletter, dispatch of the confirmation email and receipt of the reply requested in that email. No further data is collected. Data is used exclusively to dispatch the newsletter and is not forwarded to third parties.
