Type and Purpose of Processing:
When you access our website, meaning if you do not register or otherwise transmit information, general information is automatically collected. This information (server log files) includes, for example, the type of web browser, the operating system used, the domain name of your internet service provider, your IP address, and similar data.
This information is processed in particular for the following purposes:
- Ensuring a trouble-free connection to the website,
- Ensuring smooth use of our website,
- Evaluating system security and stability, and
- Optimizing our website.
We do not use your data to draw conclusions about your person. Information of this kind is statistically evaluated by us in anonymized form, if necessary, to optimize our website and the technology behind it.

Storage Duration:
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose of its collection. For data that serves the provision of the website, this is generally the case when the respective session is ended. In the case of data stored in log files, this is the case after no more than 14 days. Further storage is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are anonymized, so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible.
Provision Prescribed or Required:
The provision of the aforementioned personal data is neither legally nor contractually required. However, without the IP address, the service and functionality of our website cannot be guaranteed. In addition, individual services and services may not be available or may be limited. For this reason, an objection is excluded.
