Purposes and legal bases

Log data

For technical reasons, your Internet browser automatically transmits information to our web server (so-called log data) every time you visit a website. Some of this information is stored in log files, for example:

  • Date of access
  • Time of access
  • URL of the referring website
  • Retrieved file
  • Volume of transferred data
  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • IP address

Basically, we only evaluate log data to remedy faults in the operation of our website or to clarify security incidents.

For troubleshooting or to preserve evidence in case of security incidents, it may be necessary for us to collect additional personal data with the log data. In these cases we base the processing of the log data on legal permission.

These processing operations are based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO (General Data Protection Regulation); our interest is the technical provision, security and optimisation of the site.

Other data that you provide us with facilitate addressing you personally or better or faster processing.

These processing operations are based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b DSGVO.

Newsletter

You can subscribe to a newsletter on our website. We use the „double opt-in procedure“ to check whether registration for the newsletter has actually been made by the owner of an e-mail address. The newsletter is only subscribed if the owner of the e-mail address has expressly confirmed activation of the newsletter beforehand by clicking on the link in the confirmation e-mail and thus giving his express and individual consent. We log execution of the individual phases of the double-opt-in procedure as proof.

When you sign up to receive our newsletter and agree to receive it, your data will only be used to send the newsletter to you. You can revoke this consent at any time. Every newsletter contains a link to allow you to do this. We note your cancellation of the newsletter in our database.
