II. General information on data protection

1. Scope of the processing of personal data

In principle we process our users’ personal data to the extent that this is necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. Our users’ personal data are only processed after users have granted their consent. An exception to this rule applies in cases in which obtaining consent in advance is not possible for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by legal regulations.

2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Where we obtain consent from the data subject for the personal data processing processes, the legal basis for this is Article 6 paragraph 1A GDPR.

If the processing is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of our company and if the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interests, Article 6 paragraph 1F GDPR is the legal basis of the processing.

3. Data deletion and duration of storage

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocks as soon as the purpose of the storage no longer applies. The data can also be stored if this is provided for under European or national legislation in directives, laws or other provisions under European Union law to which the responsible party is subject. The data are also blocked or deleted if a storage period set out by the above-mentioned standards expires unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion of a contract or the performance of a contract.

III. Provision of the website and creation of log files

1. Description and scope of the data processing

Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically stores data and information from the computer system accessing the website.

The access logs for the web server record which pages were accessed at what time. They include the following data:

  • IP
  • Directory protection user
  • Date
  • Time
  • Pages accessed
  • Records
  • Status code
  • Quantity of data
  • Referrer URL (in other words the website visited previously)
  • User agent
  • Host name accessed

The IP addresses are stored anonymised using technical precautionary measures. In other to do this, the last three characters are removed, in other words 127.0.0.1 becomes 127.0.0.*. IPv6 addresses are also anonymised. As a result, the data can no longer be allocated to the user accessing the site. The data are not stored together with users’ other personal data.

2. Legal basis for the data processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and the log files is Article 6 paragraph 1F GDPR.

3. Purpose of the data processing

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is needed to deliver the website to the user’s computer. In order to do this, the user’s IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.

Log files are stored to ensure the functionality of the website. We also use the data to optimise the website and ensure the security of our information technology systems. There is no evaluation of the data for marketing purposes in this context.

These purposes represent a legitimate interest in data processing on our part in accordance with Article 6 paragraph 1F GDPR.

4. Duration of storage and right of deletion

The anonymised IP addresses are stored for 60 days. Information on the directory protection users are anonymised after one day.

Error logs, which record erroneous attempts to access pages, are deleted after seven days. In addition to the error messages, these also include the IP address accessing the website and, depending on the error, the website accessed.

Access attempts made via FTP are recorded in an anonymous manner and stored for 60 days.

An individual determination of the duration of storage is not possible.

5. Right of appeal

Data must be recorded on the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files in order for the website to be operated. The user therefore has no right of appeal.
