We collect, store and use data about every access to our website (so-called server log files). Access data includes the name and URL of the retrieved file, date and time of retrieval, amount of data transferred, notification of successful retrieval (HTTP status code), browser type and version, operating system, referrer URL (i.e. the previously visited page), IP address and the requesting provider.

We use this log data without attributing it to your person or other profiling, exclusively for the purpose of operating, securing and optimising our website. We reserve the right to check the log data retrospectively if there is a justified suspicion of unlawful use based on concrete indications. We store IP addresses in the log files only for a limited period, insofar as this is necessary for security purposes, and if we have a concrete suspicion of a criminal offence in connection with the use of our website.

03
