Automated data collection during your visit to our website
Technically required information
When you access our website, information about your visit will be automatically recorded in our hoster’s server log files. Such information includes, for example, the web browser you’re using, your computer or device operating system, the domain name of your internet service provider, your IP address and its location. This information is technically necessary to correctly deliver the contents of this website requested by you and is mandatory when using the internet. They are processed in particular for the following purposes:
- ensuring a stable connection to this website,
- ensuring the functionality of all features of our website,
- evaluation of system security and stability,
- as well as further administrative purposes.
The processing of your personal data is based on our legitimate interest for the aforementioned purposes of data collection. We do not use your information to draw conclusions about you. Data will only be received by the responsible body and possibly the processor. Anonymous information of this kind may be statistically evaluated by us to optimize our website and its underlying technology.
Cookies
Like many other web sites, we use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small text files that are transferred from a web server to your device. This automatically gives us certain data, such as your IP address, the web browser and operating system used, as well as your connection to the internet. Cookies can not be used to launch programs or to transfer viruses to a computer or device. Based on the information contained in cookies, we can facilitate navigation through our web site and make sure that all contents are displayed correctly. In no event will the data collected by us in this fashion be passed on to third parties or linked to personal data without your consent. You can view our website without cookies being enabled. Although internet browsers are usually set to accept cookies you can deactivate their use at any time in your browser settings. Please use the help features of your internet browser to find out how to change these settings. Please note that some features of our website may not work properly if you have disabled the use of cookies.
Analysis & marketing services
We use the following analytical services to follow our visitors’ behaviour on our web site in order to improve our service and/or display custom, interest-based information. You can object to this kind of data processing as described in the following sections.
Google Analytics
This web site uses Google Analytics (Google Inc.) to track user navigation. Google Analytics makes use of so-called “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer / device and that enable us to analyse how you use our website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. This website, however, uses IP address anonymization so your IP address will be shortened by Google within a member state of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmission to a Google server in the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
On our behalf, Google will use this information to analyse how you use this website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to us. The IP address transmitted by your browser will not be merged with other Google data.
You can prevent the use of cookies by disabling them in your browser settings. However, we point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website in full. In addition or as an alternative to the browser add-on, you can prevent Google tracking on our web site by clicking the “Disable Google Analytics” button. By doing so, an opt-out cookie will be installed on your computer. This will prevent the collection of data by Google Analytics for this web site and for this browser in the future, as long as the cookie remains installed.
Disclosure of your data to third parties
We have involved third party data processors for the following data processing services:
- data storage (data center)
- website hosting
- website analysis
Your data will only then be passed on to third parties if this is permitted or prescribed under European data protection law. This is the case, for instance, if you have expressly consented to the disclosure of your data and / or if disclosure is required for contract fulfilment. Disclosing your data is also permitted by data protection law if the enforcement of regulations of other laws (for example criminal law regulations) requires us to do so and nothing prevents this disclosure from a data protection point of view.
