Privacy information for visitors to the website

Website

Purpose

If you only use our website to retrieve information, it is generally not necessary for you to provide personal data. However, for the operation of the website it is necessary to process certain data through which a personal reference can be established. In this case, it is only those data that are transmitted to us by your Internet browser. These are in particular the following:

  • • Date and time of the retrieval of one of our Internet pages
  • • Your browser type
  • • The browser settings
  • • The operating system used
  • • The last page you visited
  • • The amount of data transferred and the access status (file transferred, file not found, etc.)
  • • Your IP address

Legal basis

The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest (§ 96 para 3 TKG 2003, Art 6 para 1 lit f DSGVO), which is to ensure the operation of the website, the performance of an error and availability analysis, and the defense against attacks.

Recipients

If necessary for the above-mentioned purposes, your personal data will only be transmitted to IT service providers used by us.

Storage period

The data will only be stored for a maximum of 32 days, unless there is a legal obligation to retain it beyond that. At the same time, longer storage may take place insofar as this is necessary to investigate detected attacks on our website.

Transmission to third countries

A transmission to a third country does not take place. The website is hosted on our own servers.

In order to make visiting our website attractive, we use cookies that enable the use of certain functions on the website. Cookies are small text files that are temporarily stored on your computer. They do not interfere with the system and cannot cause any damage. Most browsers are configured to accept cookies automatically.

If you do not accept cookies, the functionality of our website may be limited. Under the menu item “Help” you will find information in common browsers on how to accept or reject cookies.

Necessary cookies

Certain technical cookies are necessary to enable the operation of a website at all. These technically necessary cookies are used for visitors to the website only primarily to control certain sessions. I.e. after the respective session, when the browser is closed, they are automatically deleted again. The legal basis for their use is our legitimate interest (§ 96 para 3 TKG 2003, Art 6 para 1 lit f DSGVO) to ensure the operation of the website.

Legal basis

The legal basis for the setting of cookies and the associated data processing is our legitimate interest - already explained in the purpose - according to § 96 para 3 TKG 2003, Art 6 para 1 lit f DSGVO.
