III. Information about the data processing

Your data processed when using our website will be deleted or blocked  as soon as the purpose for its storage ceases to apply, provided the  deletion of the same is not in breach of any statutory storage  obligations or unless otherwise stipulated below.

Server data

For technical reasons, the following data sent by your internet  browser to us or to our server provider will be collected, especially to  ensure a secure and stable website: These server log files record the  type and version of your browser, operating system, the website from  which you came (referrer URL), the webpages on our site visited, the  date and time of your visit, as well as the IP address from which you  visited our site.

The data will be deleted within no more than seven days, unless  continued storage is required for evidentiary purposes. In which case,  all or part of the data will be excluded from deletion until the  investigation of the relevant incident is finally resolved.

Cookies

a) Session cookies

We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files or other  storage technologies stored on your computer by your browser. These  cookies process certain specific information about you, such as your  browser, location data, or IP address.

The legal basis for such processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR,  insofar as these cookies are used to collect data to initiate or process  contractual relationships.

If the processing does not serve to initiate or process a contract,  our legitimate interest lies in improving the functionality of our  website. The legal basis is then Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

When you close your browser, these session cookies are deleted.
