1. ACCESS DATA AND HOSTING
You can visit our websites without providing any personal information. Each time a website is accessed, the web server automatically stores a so-called server log file, which may include, for example, the name of the requested file, your IP address, the date and time of access, the volume of data transferred, and the requesting provider (access data). This access data is evaluated exclusively for the purpose of ensuring the smooth operation of the website and improving our services. This processing is carried out to safeguard our overriding legitimate interests in the proper presentation of our services pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. All access data is processed only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes stated above.
