Server-Log-Files

Visit of our web site

If you visit our web site, the company we entrusted with running our web site will process and save technical information about the device you use for that purpose (operating system, screen resolution and other, non-personal information) and the browser you use (version, language settings), but especially the public IP-address you use when visiting our web site, as well as date and time of your access.

The IP address is a unique numerical address that your device uses when sending data to and/or receiving data from the internet. Generally, neither we nor our service provider know who is behind an IP address, unless you provide us with data when using our web site, enabling us to identify you. Additionally, judicial proceedings initiated against a user may lead to the identification of him or her, for example when the user tried to attack our web site and we find out his or her identity in the course of preliminary proceedings by the judicial authorities. So, generally, you do not need to worry that we are able to relate your IP address to you personally.

Our service provider does not relate the data processed to individuals, but for statistical purposes, so we are able to determine what devices with what settings are used for visiting our web site. These statistical data help us to optimize our web site when necessary, and they do not include personal information.

Legal basis for the creation of these statistics is Article 6 section 1 letter f of the GDPR. The IP address is also used to enable you to technically retrieve and use our web site and to detect and defend attacks against our service provider or our web site.

Unfortunately, attacks on those who run websites or on their users are a common feature. These attacks aim at prohibiting the access, data espionage, the spreading of malware (such as computer viruses) and other unlawful aims. These attacks would, were they successful, inhibit the proper functioning of the data center of our service provider, the use of our web site or its functions and the safety of the users of our web site.
The processing of IP addresses, including the access time, is done to defy such attacks. Using the services of our service provider, we have a legitimate interest to ensure the functionality of our web site and to fend off unlawful attacks against us and the users of our website. Legal basis for the processing is Article 6 section 1 letter f of the GDPR.
The IP addresses saved will be deleted (by anonymization) once they are no longer necessary to detect or defend an attack.
