Collection of General Information When Visiting Our Website

Type and Purpose of Processing

When you access our website — that is, if you do not register or otherwise submit information — information of a general nature 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 for the following purposes:

  • Ensuring a smooth connection to the website
  • Ensuring the smooth use of our website
  • Evaluation of system security and stability
  • Optimization of our website

We do not use your data to draw conclusions about your person. Information of this kind may be statistically evaluated by us in anonymised form in order to optimise our online presence and the underlying technology. However, we reserve the right to check the server log files retrospectively should there be specific indications of unlawful use.

Legal Basis and Legitimate Interest

Processing is carried out pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR based on our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website and ensuring system security and protection against misuse.

Recipients

Recipients of the data may include technical service providers acting as processors for the operation and maintenance of our website.

Storage Duration

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected. For data used to provide the website, this is usually the case when the respective session ends.

Provision Required or Mandatory

The provision of the above-mentioned personal data is neither legally nor contractually required. However, without the IP address, the service and functionality of our website cannot be guaranteed. Individual services may also be unavailable or restricted.

Right to Object

Please also refer to the information on your right to object under Art. 21 GDPR further below.

Cookies

Like many other websites, we also use “cookies.” Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our website.

You may delete individual cookies or the entire cookie set. You will also find information and instructions on how to delete these cookies or block their storage in advance. Depending on your browser provider, you can find the necessary information at the following links:

Technically Necessary Cookies

Type and Purpose of Processing

We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly. Some elements of our website require that the browser can be identified after a page change.

The purpose of technically necessary cookies is to simplify the use of websites for users. Certain functions of our site cannot be offered without the use of cookies. For these functions, it is necessary that the browser is recognised even after navigating to a different page.

Legal Basis and Legitimate Interest

Processing is carried out pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR based on our legitimate interest in providing a user-friendly website.

Recipients

Recipients of the data may include technical service providers acting as processors for the operation and maintenance of our website.

Provision Required or Mandatory

The provision of the above-mentioned personal data is neither legally nor contractually required. However, without this data the service and functionality of our website cannot be guaranteed. Individual services may also be unavailable or restricted.

Right to Object

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

Use of Matomo

To improve our website, we occasionally analyse how it is used. This analysis is based on our legitimate interest in improving the website. This application prompts your browser to store two identification numbers (HTTP cookies) to distinguish between different users.

In this context, your IP address is included in the analysis but immediately shortened so that it can no longer be linked to you.

If you do not agree to your page views being included in the statistics, you have several options:

  • You can delete HTTP cookies in your browser.
  • Many modern browsers allow you to signal to website operators that you do not wish to be included in such statistics (“Do Not Track”). We honour this setting.
  • You can also specifically opt out for our website. Matomo will then place a two-year opt-out cookie (“matomo_ignore”) on your device to disable tracking.

You can prevent actions you perform here from being analysed and linked. This protects your privacy but also prevents the website operator from learning from your actions and improving usability for you and others.

SSL Encryption

To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption methods (e.g. SSL) via HTTPS.

Information About Your Right to Object Under Article 21 GDPR

Right to Object in Individual Cases

You have the right, at any time and for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object to the processing of your personal data carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (processing based on a balancing of interests). This also applies to profiling based on this provision within the meaning of Article 4(4) GDPR.

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