What data is processed, and for what purpose?

Whenever you access content on this website, data is temporarily stored that may allow identification. The following data is collected:

• Date and time of access
• IP address
• Host name of the accessing device
• Website from which our website was accessed
• Websites accessed via our website
• Page visited on our website
• Whether the access was successful
• Amount of data transferred
• Information about the browser type and version used
• Operating system

The temporary storage of this data is necessary for the website visit to take place, in order to enable delivery of the website. Further storage in log files takes place to ensure the functionality of the website and the security of our IT systems. This is also the basis of our legitimate interest in the data processing.

On what legal basis is this data processed?

The data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR.

How long is the data stored?

Data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of providing the website, this is the case once the respective session has ended. Log files are kept accessible directly and exclusively to administrators for [up to 24 hours]. After that, they remain available only indirectly, through the reconstruction of backup tapes, and are permanently deleted after [up to four weeks].

Your rights

Right to information

You may request information under Art. 15 GDPR about the personal data we process about you.

Right to object

You have a right to object for particular reasons (see the section on the right to object below).

Right to rectification

Should the data concerning you no longer be accurate, you may request rectification under Art. 16 GDPR. Should your data be incomplete, you may request that it be completed.

Right to erasure

You may request the erasure of your personal data under Art. 17 GDPR.

Right to restriction of processing

Under Art. 18 GDPR, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

Right to lodge a complaint

If you believe that the processing of your personal data violates data protection law, you have the right under Art. 77 (1) GDPR to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority of your choice. A list of supervisory authorities (for the non-public sector) with their addresses can be found at: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html

Right to data portability

Provided the requirements of Art. 20 (1) GDPR are met, you have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract, in order to transfer it to yourself or to a third party. The collection of data to provide the website and the storage of log files are strictly necessary for operating the website. They are therefore not based on consent under Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR or on a contract under Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR, but are justified under Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR. The requirements of Art. 20 (1) GDPR are therefore not met in this respect.

Right to object under Art. 21 (1) GDPR

You have the right to object, at any time and for reasons arising from your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR. The controller will then no longer process the personal data, unless it can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims. The collection of data to provide the website and the storage of log files are strictly necessary for operating the website.

Changes to this privacy policy

We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy so that it always complies with current legal requirements, or to reflect changes to our services in the privacy policy, e.g. when introducing new features. The new privacy policy will then apply to your next visit.
