2. What is personal data?

Personal data (Art. 4 no. 1 GDPR) is all information that can be directly or indirectly attributed to you as an individual. This includes, for example, your name, your address, your phone number or your email address. Non-personal data, in contrast, is information of a general nature that cannot be used to determine your identity (e.g. the number of users of our Website).

3. Collection and processing of personal data, object, purposes and legal bases of data processing

You can visit our Website, which is primarily for information purposes, without providing us with data that directly identifies you. In the following, we would like to provide you with more detailed information about when we process your personal data, what personal data this is in detail, for what purposes we process your personal data and on what legal basis this is done.

3.1 Server log files (including IP address)

Purpose and scope of data processing

When you visit our Website, our web server automatically records your log data, which your browser automatically transmits to us, for technical reasons. This is usually your IP address, the date and time you visited our Website, the subsites you visited on our Website, the website you visited previously, the browser you are using (e.g. Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome), the operating system you are using (e.g. Windows 11) and the domain name and address of your internet provider (e.g. Deutsche Telekom or 1&1).

Purposes and legal basis of data processing

The processing of your log data is technically necessary to enable communication with our web server and to provide you with our Website. We also process this data to ensure – as far as technically possible and reasonable – the integrity, stability and functionality of our Website and to ward off attempted attacks. The processing of this data is necessary to safeguard our legitimate interests in the provision and technical integrity of our Website (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). Without the provision of this data, it is not technically possible to use our Website.

In addition, we may process the information collected by our web server in the event of system misuse in cooperation with your internet provider and/or local authorities in order to identify the perpetrator of this misuse. The legal basis for this is our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR), which consist of protecting the integrity of our Website, our system and the visitors to our Website.

We process this personal data in order to answer and process your request.
