Collection of General Information When Visiting Our Website

Nature 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, 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.

In particular, it is processed for the following purposes:

Ensuring a trouble-free connection to the website,
Ensuring smooth use of our website,
Evaluating system security and stability, and
Optimizing 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 an anonymized form to optimize our website and the underlying technology.

Legal Basis and Legitimate Interest:

Processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website.

Recipients:

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

Storage Duration:

The data will be 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 generally the case when the respective session has ended.

In the case of data storage in log files, this occurs after 14 days at the latest. Storage beyond this period is possible. In this case, the users’ IP addresses are anonymized so that it is no longer possible to identify the calling client.

Provision Mandatory 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. Furthermore, individual services may be unavailable or restricted. For this reason, an objection is excluded.

Use of Google Analytics

Provided you have given your consent, this website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA (hereinafter: “Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies,” which are text files stored on your computer that allow for an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, due to the activation of IP anonymization on these websites, your IP address will be shortened by Google beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

Further information on terms of use and data protection can be found at https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html and at https://policies.google.com/?hl=en.

On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services related to website and internet usage to the website operator.

The data sent by us and linked to cookies, user identifiers (e.g., User ID), or advertising IDs will be automatically deleted after 14 months. Data whose retention period has been reached is automatically deleted once a month.

Revocation of Consent:

You can prevent tracking by Google Analytics on our website by clicking this link. This will install an opt-out cookie on your device. This will prevent future collection by Google Analytics for this website and for this browser as long as the cookie remains installed in your browser.

You can also prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser software settings accordingly; however, we point out that in this case, you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent.

Furthermore, you can prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google, as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: Browser Add-on to disable Google Analytics.

SSL Encryption

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