Type and purpose of processing: When you access our website, i.e., if you do not register or otherwise submit information, information of a general nature is automatically collected. This information (server log files) includes the type of web browser, the operating system used, the domain name of your Internet service provider, your IP address, and similar. This is exclusively information that does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about you personally.

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

  • Ensuring a problem-free connection to the website

  • Evaluating system security and stability
  • Other administrative purposes

We do not use your data to draw conclusions about you personally. We may evaluate this type of information statistically to optimize our website and the technology behind it.

Legal basis: Processing is carried out in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f of the GDPR, based on our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website.

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

Storage period: The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose of collection. This is generally the case for the data used to provide the website when the respective session has ended.

Provision required or required: 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 be unavailable or restricted.
