Every time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the requesting computer.
The following data is collected:
(1) Information about the browser type and version used
(2) User’s operating system
(3) User’s internet service provider (access provider) if this information is transmitted by the provider
(4) User’s IP address
(5) Date and time of access
(6) Websites from which the user’s system reached our internet site (referrer URL)
(7) Websites accessed by the user’s system from our website
The data is also stored in our system’s log files. We do not store the data together with the user’s other personal data. Unless there is a legal reason, such as a misuse of your site, e.g. the attempt to hack it, the data will be erased automatically after 30 days.
The log data is used exclusively for statistical analyses for the purpose of operating, securing and optimising our website. However, we reserve the right to review the log data at a later date if there are legitimate reasons to suspect illegal use based on concrete evidence. Our legitimate interest is established by the data collection purposes specified above. Under no circumstances do we use the collected data to draw inferences about you.
The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and log files is GDPR Article 6(1) point (f).
The system needs to store the IP address temporarily so that it can deliver the website to the user’s computer. The user’s IP address must be stored for the duration of the session.
The data is stored in log files to ensure the website remains functional. The data also helps us optimise the website and keep our IT systems secure. The data is not analysed for marketing purposes in this connection.
These purposes constitute our legitimate interest in the data processing pursuant to GDPR Article 6(1) point (f).
The data is erased as soon as it is no longer needed to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. If the data is collected for the purpose of providing the website, it will be erased when the session is done.
If the data is stored in log files, it will be erased after no more than seven days. It may also be stored for a longer period, however. In this case, the users’ IP addresses will be erased or masked so that they can no longer be traced back to the requesting client.
We are required to collect the data used in providing our website and to store the data in log files in order to operate the website. The user, in other words, cannot object to our collection and storage of the data.
