Data protection and privacy policy

When a user accesses this website, information such as, for example, date, time or address of websites viewed, may be saved anonymously on the server. This data is evaluated for statistical purposes only and will not be forwarded to third parties for commercial or non-commercial purposes.

In addition, data can be saved to the website user’s computer. Known as «cookies», these data have the purpose of simplifying access to certain items of content. The user can, however, deactivate this function in their browser, although this may in certain circumstances lead to restrictions to the functionality of our website.

Analytics services

This website uses the web analytics service Matomo (formerly Piwik). It uses so-called "cookies", which are text files that are saved on your computer that enable us to analyse your use of the website. The user information generated by the cookie (including your truncated IP address) will be transmitted to our server and saved there for this purpose, which also assists us in optimising the website. As part of this process, your IP address is anonymised immediately so that you remain anonymous to us as an individual user. Information on your website usage that is generated by the cookie will not be passed on to any third party. You may prevent the use of cookies by making a corresponding adjustment to your browser settings. By doing so, however, it is possible that not all functions of this website will be available to you in full.

Should you not agree to the aggregation and analysis of the data generated by your visit, you may revoke this hereinafter with the click of the mouse at any time. In such cases, a so-called opt-out cookie is created and Matomo will gather no session information whatsoever. Attention: if you later delete your cookies, this will also delete the opt-out cookie, which then may need to be activated once again.

Duration of data retention

The data stored in the server log files are stored by our web hosting provider for a maximum of 7 days before they are anonymised. Data whose further retention is necessary for evidentiary purposes are exempt from anonymisation until the incident has been finally clarified. We as website operator only have access to anonymised user data. Server logs are stored for a period of five years and then deleted.

Data that are gathered, anonymised and stored with Matomo are kept for an indefinite period of time.

Your right to information, correction, cancellation, deletion

You have the right to receive information about the personal data stored with us. You also have the right to correction, deletion, limiting of processing as well as data prtability.

According to article 77 GDPR you have the right to complain to the responsible regulatory authority should you consider the processing of your personal data to be illegal.
