Processing Activities

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.

This information is processed in particular for the following purposes:

  • ensuring a smooth connection to the website
  • ensuring smooth use of the website
  • ensuring and evaluating system security and stability, in particular for abuse detection
  • ensuring technically error-free presentation and optimization of the website

We do not use this data to draw conclusions about your person. However, we reserve the right to review server log files retrospectively should there be concrete indications of unlawful use.

Legal Basis and Legitimate Interest

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 as well as ensuring system security and abuse detection.

Recipients

Recipients of the data may be technical service providers who act as processors for the operation and maintenance of our website.

Storage Period

Data is stored in server log files in a form that allows identification of the data subject for as long as this is necessary to achieve the respective purposes or as long as statutory retention obligations exist. Thereafter, the data is deleted, unless a security-relevant event occurs (e.g. a DDoS attack).

In the event of such an incident, server log files are stored until the security-relevant event has been resolved and fully clarified.

Provision Required or Necessary

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 may not be available or may be restricted.

Right to Object

Please refer to the information on your right to object pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR below.

Type and Purpose of Processing

You may contact us via the email addresses provided. In this case, the personal data transmitted with the email will be stored. This includes the date and time the email was sent, the email address, IP addresses, and information about the servers involved in the email communication.

Regardless of the chosen means of communication, we collect the content of your inquiry. Your data will be stored for the purpose of individual communication with you.

Legal Basis

Data processing is carried out on the basis of a legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

If a contractual relationship arises, we are subject to statutory retention periods. These generally amount to 6 or 10 years due to proper accounting and tax law requirements.

Provision Required or Necessary

The provision of your personal data is voluntary. However, we can only process your request if you provide us with the required data and the reason for your inquiry.

Right to Object

Please refer to the information on your right to object pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR below.

If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
