Your data processed when using our website will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply, the deletion of the data does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations, and unless otherwise stated below regarding specific processing procedures.

Server Data

For technical reasons, particularly to ensure a secure and stable website, data is transmitted by your internet browser to us or to our web space provider. With these so-called server log files, the type and version of your internet browser, the operating system, the website from which you came to our website (referrer URL), the webpage(s) of our website that you visit, the date and time of the respective access, and the IP address of the internet connection from which the use of our website occurs are collected.

This data is temporarily stored but not in conjunction with other data from you.

This storage is based on the legal basis of Art. 6 Paragraph 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the improvement, stability, functionality, and security of our website.

The data will be deleted at the latest after seven days unless further storage is necessary for evidence purposes. Otherwise, the data is wholly or partially excluded from deletion until the final clarification of an incident.

Cookies

a) Session Cookies

We use so-called cookies with our website. Cookies are small text files or other storage technologies that are placed and stored on your device by the internet browser you use. These cookies process specific information from you, such as your browser or location data or your IP address, individually.

This processing makes our website more user-friendly, effective, and secure, as the processing allows, for example, the reproduction of our website in different languages or the use of a shopping cart function.

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 Paragraph 1 lit b) GDPR, provided these cookies are processed for contract initiation or contract execution.

If the processing is not for contract initiation or execution, our legitimate interest lies in the improvement of the functionality of our website. In that case, the legal basis is Art. 6 Paragraph 1 lit. f) GDPR.

The necessary steps and measures depend on your specific internet browser. If you have any questions, please use the help function or documentation of your internet browser or contact its manufacturer or support. For so-called flash cookies, however, the processing cannot be prevented through the settings of the browser. Instead, you need to change the setting of your flash player. The steps and measures required for this depend on your specific flash player.
