Collection of personal data when visiting our website

(1) If you use the website for information purposes only and thus do not otherwise provide us with information, we only collect the personal data that your browser transmits to our server. If you wish to view our website, we collect the following data, which we technically require to display our website to you and to guarantee stability and security (legal basis is Art. 6, par. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR):

– IP address

– date and time of inquiry

– time zone deviation to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)

– content of inquiry (specific site)

– access status/HTTP status code

– respective volume of data transferred

– the website forwarding the inquiry

– browser

– operating system and GUI

– language and version of browser software.

(2) In addition to the data mentioned above, cookies are stored on your computer when you use our website and services. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your hard disk in association with the browser you’re using and by which the party which sets the cookie (i.e. us) receives specific information. Cookies cannot run programmes or deliver viruses to your computer. They serve to make our internet presence more user-friendly and effective (legal basis is Art. 6, par. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR).

Additionally, we make use of so-called Local Storage and Session Storage technologies (also referred to as “local data”, “local memory” and “session memory”). For Local Storage, data are locally stored in your browser’s cache. They remain available and readable even after the browser window or the program has been closed unless you do not clear the cache actively. Local Storage saves your preferences on your computer while you use our website and thus allows you to use them. The functions of Session Storage generally correspond to those of the Local Storage explained, except that respective data are automatically removed from your browser’s cache immediately as soon as the browser (“session”) is being closed.

Third parties have no access to data saved in the Local Storage or Session Storage. Suchlike data won’t be disclosed to third parties and/or used for promotional purposes. The technology will in particular be used to present you our content in interesting graphical form (e.g. pop-up windows etc.) and to adjust our services and website navigation to your specific needs. You can organize the Local Storage-content in your browser settings for “history” or “local data” (depending on the type of browser you use). However, restricting the above features can result in limited functionality.

(3) In general, we exclusively use the technologies mentioned above to improve our website’s ease-of-use and functions. We use these technologies for the legitimate interest of offering you interesting and fully functional services based on Art. 6, subp. 1, lit. f, GDPR. If, in addition, your consent to the use of cookies should be required we will ask for it when necessary. Legal base for your consent to the possible use of cookies is Art. 6, subp. 1, sentence 1, lit. a, GDPR. If you do not want the above technologies to be used your browser settings allow for preventing this. In your browser settings you will also find a list of the cookies used, if any.

(4) Use of cookies:

b) Transient cookies are automatically deleted when you shut down the browser. These include session cookies, in particular. They store a so-called session ID which assigns the various inquiries forwarded by your browser during the joint session. This facilitates identifying your computer when you return to the site. Session cookies are deleted when you log out or shut down the browser.

c) Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period, which may differ depending on the cookie. You can delete the cookies in your browser’s security settings at any time.
