Collection of general data and information
This website collects a series of general data and information when transmitting a website. This general data and information are stored in the server log files. We may collect this information about visitors to this site:
- the browser types and versions used
- the operating system used by the accessing system
- the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (referrers)
- the date and time of access to the site
- the Internet protocol address (IP address) of the accessing system
- any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
This information is not used to draw any conclusions about the user. This information is needed to deliver the content of our website correctly, optimize the content of our website as well and provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack.
The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a user.
Accessing and updating your personal information
If you would like to access, or have us remove, any identifiable personal data that we have collected on you please get in contact with us using the contact details outlined on this page. We will aim to comply with your wishes as soon as possible unless we have to keep that information for legitimate business or legal reasons.
We do maintain backups of our information to protect it from accidental or malicious deletion. We cannot ensure that your information will be fully removed from these backups as that would compromise their integrity.
Cookie policy
This website use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in a computer system via an Internet browser.
Many Internet sites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited Internet sites and servers to differentiate the individual browser of the users from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID.
Users may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies through our website by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used, and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies may be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all popular Internet browsers.
Analytics
On this website we use Google Analytics to track user behaviour. This service tracks how users find this website (the referrer), information about the device used to visit this site and information about what pages are viewed and for how long. Additionally specific user behaviour on the site, such as links being clicked or images being viewed, can also be tracked. This information is used to help optimize this website and improve the user experience. To opt-out of Google Analytics, both on this site and others, you may install the google analytics opt-out browser addon https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
More information about google analytics can be found here https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/.
Period for which the personal data will be stored
The criteria used to determine the period of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiration of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.
Existence of automated decision-making
As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
