Provision of the website and creation of log files

Description, purpose, and scope of data processing

With each access to our website, our system automatically collects data and information from the accessing computer system.

The following data is collected:

• Information about the browser type and the version used
• The user's operating system
• The user's internet service provider
• The user's IP address
• The date and time of access
• Websites from which the user's system accesses our website
• Websites accessed by the user's system from our website

Temporarily storing the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the delivery of the website to the user's computer. The user's IP address needs to remain stored for the duration of the session.

The data is also stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.

The storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, we use the data for optimising the website and to ensure the security of our IT systems. An evaluation for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.]

Legal basis for processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is point (f) of GDPR Article 6(1).

Duration of storage

The data will be erased as soon as they are no longer needed for the purpose of their collection. If the data was collected for providing the website, this is the case when the session is over.

If the data is stored in log files, this is the case after no more than seven days. Further storage is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or obscured so that an identification of the accessing client is no longer possible.]

Social media

We are present in various social media in order to communicate with our customers, interested parties and users registered there and to be able to inform them about our offers there.

We would like to point out that you use these platforms and their functions as a matter of your own responsibility. This applies, in particular, to the use of interactive functions (e.g. commenting, sharing, rating).

We would also like to point out that your data may be processed outside the European Union.

In addition, your data may be processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, usage profiles may be created from your usage behaviour and the resulting interests. This allows, for example, advertisements to be placed within and outside the platforms that presumably correspond to your interest. Cookies are usually stored on your computer for this purpose. Irrespective of this, data that is not collected directly from your end devices may also be stored in the usage profiles (especially if you are a member of the respective platforms and are logged in to them).

We, as the provider of this information service, do not collect or process any further data from your use of our service.

The processing of users' personal data is based on our legitimate interests in effectively informing users and communicating with users pursuant to Article 6 (1)(1)(f) GDPR. If you are asked by the respective providers for consent to data processing (i.e. you declare your consent e.g. by ticking a checkbox or confirming a button), the legal basis of the processing is Article 6 (1)(1)(a), Article 7 GDPR.
