II. Description and scope of data processing

1. Provision of the website

Visitor and usage data

Every time you visit our website, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing computer. The following data is collected:

• Information about the browser type and version used
• The user's operating system and version used
• The user's Internet service provider
• The user's IP address
• Date and time of access
• Websites from which the user's system accesses our website

We store this information for a maximum period of 12 months. The storage is carried out for reasons of data security in order to ensure the stability and operational reliability of our system.

Web analytics

We analyze the use of our website with the web analysis tool Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA94043, USA; “Google”). The terms of use and privacy policy can be found at https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/us/ and https://policies.google.com/?hl=en.

This serves exclusively to optimize the website in terms of user-friendliness and to provide useful information about our services. This data is not merged with other personal data sources or passed on to third parties.

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR or Art. 31, para. 2 lit. d or e revDSG.

No personal evaluation takes place. The analyses are based on anonymized data sets.
The data we send and link to cookies, user IDs (e.g., user ID) or advertising IDs is automatically deleted after 14 months. Data that has reached its retention period is automatically deleted once a month.

Google Analytics uses “cookies,” which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The info generated by the cookie about your use of the website will generally be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. However, if IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in data processing. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Section 15 (3) TMG or Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR or Art. 31, para. 2 lit. d or e revDSG.

We have disabled the “Data sharing” and “Signals” settings. Although we can assume that the information we share with Google is not personal data for Google, it is possible that Google could use this data for its own purposes to draw conclusions about the identity of visitors, create personal profiles, and link this data to these individuals' Google accounts. If you have registered with the service provider yourself, the service provider also knows you. The processing of your personal data by the service provider is then carried out under the responsibility of the service provider in accordance with its data protection regulations. The service provider only informs us about how our respective website is used (no information about you personally).

You can prevent cookies from being stored by adjusting your browser software settings accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser add-on. Opt-out cookies prevent the future collection of your data when you visit this website. To prevent Google Analytics from collecting data across different devices, you must opt out on all systems you use.
