1. Data categories
When you access this website, your IP address is stored in log files. We use this information to evaluate the use of the site and thereby further optimize our website for you – these files are neither stored in our database nor used in any way. The IP address is the worldwide valid, unique identification of a computer and consists of four number blocks separated by dots. Usually, as a private user, you will not use a constant IP address, as your provider will only assign it to you temporarily for a session. Nevertheless, a clear assignment of user data via this feature is possible in principle for static IP addresses. We can only link your IP address to your user data by “manual” research. We only use this in exceptional cases when we have to prevent misuse and fraud and deny access to individual IP addresses.

We will process your personal data in particular for the following purposes:

• to provide you with this website and to further improve and develop this website
• to create usage statistics
• to detect, prevent and investigate attacks on our website.

3. Legal basis of the processing
The legal basis for the processing of your personal data is our overriding legitimate interest (pursuant to Art 6 para 1 lit f EU General Data Protection Regulation), which consists of achieving the purposes mentioned above under point 2.

4. Storage period
The aforementioned data for displaying the website will be deleted by us after one month. The collection of the data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is mandatory for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility of objection on the part of the user. Further storage may take place in individual cases if this is required by law.
