Access Data

We, the website operator or website provider, collect data about access to the website on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR and store this data as “server log files” on the website server. The following data is recorded:

Server log files are stored for a maximum of 7 days in the public area and 365 days in the login area and are then deleted. The data is stored for security reasons, for example to investigate cases of misuse. If data must be retained for evidentiary purposes, it is excluded from deletion until the relevant incident has been finally resolved.
