Access data/server log files

The website provider (or its web hosting provider) collects data every time the website is accessed (known as server log files). The access data includes:

The name of the website accessed, file, date and time of access, volume of data transmitted, notification of successful access, browser type and version, the user’s operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited website), IP address and the querying provider.

The provider uses the log data for statistical evaluations for the purpose of operation, security and the optimisation of the website only. The provider reserves the right to check the log data after the fact if there is a justified suspicion of unlawful use based on concrete evidence.

Handling personal details

Personal details are information that can be used to identify a person, i.e. the information that can be traced back to a person. These include the name, email address or telephone number. However, personal details also include data about likes, hobbies, memberships or which pages someone has viewed.

Personal details are only collected, used and passed on by the provider where this is legally permissible and the user consents to the data collection.

Contact

Upon making contact with the provider (for example via contact form or email), the user’s information is saved for the purpose of processing the query, as well as in the event that subsequent questions arise.
