Which data is gathered?

Whenever you access this website, the web server will log the following data for each request so as to ensure adequate information and system security: your IP address, your user name (if applicable), date and time of access and technical information about the retrieved web object, the browser you used and the URL.  

Additional personal information such as your name, address, telephone number or email address will not be collected unless you provide this information voluntarily. The personal data you provide will be used solely for the purpose of handling your request or responding to your query. We will not transmit this data to third parties.

 

Purpose of the data collection

The above-mentioned access data is only used for statistical evaluations and – in aggregated form – to enable us to operate, secure and optimise our website (on the whole legitimate interests).

Any further use of your personal data will only ever take place with your consent.

 

Contacting us via email

When you contact us (e.g. via contact form or email), we store your details so that we can process your request and to enable correspondence should follow-up questions arise. We will not share this information with third parties without your express consent.

To ensure adequate information and system security and to detect and deal with malware, our email server creates log data about all email traffic. Whenever you send us an email, the following data is logged: recipient’s email address, IP address and host name, number of recipients, sender’s email address, IP address and host name, subject, date and time of receipt on the server, the first 50 bytes of a message in the header to facilitate classification of the message, file name of any attachments should the message be classified as spam, message size, risk classification regarding spam quality and delivery status. Spam or malware is eliminated purely automatically; suspicious emails may be examined more closely by a responsible person, possibly in consultation with the recipient.
