All data is processed exclusively on servers located within the European Union.

3. Server Log Files

The hosting provider automatically collects and stores information in server log files that your browser transmits automatically. These include:

  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • Referrer URL
  • Hostname of the accessing device
  • Time of the server request
  • IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources. The processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, as the website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of the website. Log files are automatically deleted after 14 days.

The processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the anonymous analysis of user behavior to improve the website.
