3. Provision of website and creation of log files

A. Details and extent of data processing

Any time our website is accessed, our system automatically records data and information concerning the accessing computer.

The following data is recorded:

  • Information on the browser type and version used
  • The user’s operating system
  • The user’s Internet service provider
  • The user’s IP address
  • Date and time of access
  • Websites from which the user’s system reaches our website
  • Websites the user’s system accesses from our website
  • This data is also recorded in our system’s log files. This data is not stored together with any of the user’s other personal data.

B. Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for temporary recording of this data in our log files is art. 6 paragraph 1 point f GDPR.

C. Purpose of data processing

Our system needs to temporarily record the IP address in order to provide the website to the user’s computer. This also requires that the user’s IP address remains logged throughout the session.

Recording the data in log files is necessary to ensure that the website operates correctly. The data further helps us optimise the website and ensure that our computer systems remain secure. No data is processed for marketing purposes in this context.

The above purposes also constitute our legitimate interests in data processing under art. 6 paragraph 1 point f GDPR.

D. Data storage period

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for achieving the purpose for which it was recorded. With respect to data being recorded in order to provide the website, the data is no longer required as soon as the respective session ends.

With respect to data being recorded in log files, the data is no longer required after fourteen days at the latest. Data may remain on record for longer. If so, the users’ IP addresses are deleted or rendered untraceable to make identification of the accessing client impossible.

E. Right to object and options for avoidance

The website cannot be provided without recording the data and the operation of the site in the Internet is impossible without storing the data in log files. There is correspondingly no option for the user to object.
