B. Individual Data Processing

1. Logging

When using the website, certain connection data and data provided by your internet browser are temporarily stored. For the operation of the website, the following data is logged and stored in log files:

  • (Anonymised) IP address of the calling computer

  • Operating system of the calling computer

  • Browser version of the calling computer

  • Name of the retrieved file

  • Date and time of the retrieval

  • Referring URL

  • Type of end device (e.g. desktop/smartphone)

  • Connection logging

The logging of data is technically necessary for the proper and secure operation of the website. The data is stored anonymously after the session has ended.

The legal basis is our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the provision of a functionally reliable website.

 

2. Contact form

We process your personal data in order to process your enquiry, to address you correctly and to send you a reply.

If your data is no longer required in the context of the customer or interested party relationship or if your conflicting interest outweighs this, we delete the data after 180 days at the latest, provided that there are no statutory retention obligations to the contrary.

The legal basis is our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the provision of simple and direct communication channels for our customers and interested parties. The legal basis is, insofar as your contact is made to initiate contractual relations, the fulfilment of a contract or the implementation of pre-contractual measures in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

  

3. Matomo

On our websites, we use a version of Matomo implemented on our own servers. This is an open source analysis software for the purpose of statistical evaluation of visitor access. With the help of this analysis, we would like to understand in particular which of our pages are accessed how often and for how long and are therefore of interest, but not by whom they are accessed.

The version of Matomo implemented on our server does not use cookies. We only store anonymised user data to collect general statistical values without comprehensively analysing user behaviour.

A comprehensive analysis of user behaviour is also not possible due to the anonymised data collected. The IP address transmitted in the server log-in is anonymised on our server before it is transmitted to the Matomo installation and replaced by a random IP address. In addition, a user ID is created by means of a random HASH value. It is not possible for us to track the data automatically transmitted by your terminal device, such as the IP-address, as well as the User-ID on the basis of the anonymised and randomly generated data, as temporal entries are randomised at the Matomo installation and the real IP address is immediately anonymised in our log files. After the session ends (i.e. usually when the browser is closed), the random IP address and user ID are deleted by Matomo.

The purpose of the processing is the statistical analysis of user behaviour to optimise the functionality of our websites. Our legitimate interest lies in the improvement of our websites and our online offer.

The legal basis for the use of Matomo is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

 

4. Compliance with Legal Requirements

We also process your data to comply with legal requirements. We are subject to a variety of legal obligations. These are primarily legal requirements (e.g. from commercial and tax laws), but also other official requirements where applicable. These include, in particular, the fulfilment of control and reporting obligations under tax law as well as archiving and documentation obligations.

The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 par 1 lit. c GDPR.

 

5. Enforcement and Defence of Rights

We may also process your personal data in order to be able to assert our rights and enforce our legal claims and/or to be able to defend ourselves against legal claims and/or insofar as this is necessary for the defence or prosecution of criminal offences.

The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 par 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the enforcement and defence of rights.
