This data is technically necessary for us to display this website to you and to ensure stability and security. The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to your com-puter. For this purpose, your IP address must be stored for the duration of the session.
The storage in log files ensures the functionality of the website. In addi-tion, we use the data to optimise the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. The data stored in the log files is not merged with other data sources. We also do not assign this data to specific persons.
The legal basis for the collection and temporary storage of data is Sec-tion 25 (2) no. 2 German Telecommunications-Telemedia Data Protection Act (“TTDSG”) in conjunction with Art. 6 (1) s. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legiti-mate interest according to Art. 6 (1) s. 1 lit. f GDPR lies in the above-mentioned purposes.
This data is stored on servers in Germany. They are deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were col-lected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended. Insofar as data is stored in server log files, the data will be deleted after 8 weeks at the latest.
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 and delivery of the website. Consequently, the user may not object the processing of da-ta in this case.
The data will be processed and stored as long as this is necessary in rela-tion to the purpose for which they were collected. Subsequently, they are deleted when legally permissible.
In addition to the data mentioned in section 3, which your server trans-mits to us, cookies are stored on your computer when you use our website. Cookies are small files that are stored on a visitor’s device (e.g. computer or smartphone). This includes for example:
– IP address of the visitor;
– Date and time of the visit;
– URL of the referring page (the page from which the visitor came);
– The pages visited on our website;
– Information about the browser used (type and version, operating system, etc.).
We only use technically necessary cookies.
Technically necessary cookies help visitors navigate the website by provid-ing basic functions such as navigating the pages and accessing secure ar-eas. Without these cookies, the website would not function properly.
This also includes functions such as your language settings. Without these cookies, you will not be able to use the services on our website without re-strictions. The cookies are stored for the duration of your internet session. These cookies are necessary so that we can provide you with the service you are using.
The legal basis for the use of these cookies, which are technically necessary for the operation of the website itself or for the service you use (e.g. lan-guage setting), is our legitimate interest pursuant to Section 25 (2) no. 2 TTDSG in conjunction with Art. 6 (1) s. 1 lit. f GDPR.
