Server-Log-Files
Visiting our website When you visit our website, the company we have commissioned to operate the website processes and stores, in addition to technical information about the device you are using (operating system, screen resolution and other non-personal characteristics) and the browser (version, language settings), in particular the public IP address of the computer you are using to visit our website, together with the date and time of access. An IP address is a unique numerical address under which your device sends or retrieves data on the internet. As a rule, neither we nor our service provider know who is behind an IP address, unless you provide us with information whilst using our website that enables us to identify you. Furthermore, a user may be identified if legal action is taken against them (e.g. in the event of attacks on our website) and we become aware of their identity during the course of the investigation. You therefore generally need not worry that we will be able to link your IP address to you. Our service provider uses the processed data in a non-personalised manner for statistical purposes, so that we can understand which devices with which settings are used to visit our website, in order to optimise it for them where necessary. These statistics do not contain any personal data. The legal basis for compiling the statistics is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.
The IP address is also used to enable you to access and use our website, as well as to detect and defend against attacks on our service provider or our website. Unfortunately, there are frequent attacks aimed at causing harm to website operators or their users (e.g. preventing access, spying on data, spreading malware (e.g. viruses) or for other unlawful purposes). Such attacks would impair the proper functioning of the data centre of the company we have commissioned, the use of our website or its functionality, and the security of visitors to our website. The processing of the IP address, including the time of access, is carried out to defend against such attacks. Through our service provider, we pursue the legitimate interest in ensuring the functionality of our website and in warding off unlawful attacks against us and the visitors to our website. The legal basis for the processing is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.
The stored IP data is deleted (through anonymisation) once it is no longer required for the detection or prevention of an attack.
Disclosure of data to third parties
As a general rule, we do not pass on the personal data provided to us to third parties, i.e. in particular not to third parties for advertising purposes. However, we do work with third parties to operate this website or to provide products and services. In doing so, such third parties may gain access to personal data. We select our service providers carefully – particularly with regard to data protection and data security – and take all measures required under data protection law to ensure lawful data processing.
Data processing outside the European Union
We do not process your personal data outside the EU ourselves. However, some of the service providers we use, and the plugins and tools they provide, do process data outside the EU. This is disclosed in this privacy policy in the sections detailing the plugins and tools used. An adequate level of data protection is ensured through participation in the so-called ‘Privacy Shield’ and the measures taken by the service provider regarding data protection and data security.
