4. Provision of the Website and Creation of Log Files
4.1 Scope of Data Processing
Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects a limited amount of data and information from the computer system of the accessing computer. This is necessary to ensure the functionality of the website.
The following data is collected:
- Information about the browser type and version used
- The user's operating system
- The user's IP address (stored in a pseudonymized, shortened format)
- Date and time of access
- Websites from which the user's system accesses our website
This data is stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user. The log files contain IP addresses or other data that could potentially allow for an association with a user, but due to pseudonymization, direct personal identification is not possible.
4.2 Purpose of Data Processing
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the delivery of the website to the user's computer. For this purpose, the user's IP address must be stored for the duration of the session. The storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of the website and the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.
4.3 Duration of Storage
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of data collection for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended. In the case of storage of data in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest.
4.4 Possibility of Objection and Removal
The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files are essential for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility for the user to object.
