Collection and processing of personal data

However, for security reasons and to improve our online services, we store (without personal reference) your access data to this website. This access data includes, for example, the name of your Internet provider or the time you accessed the website. By making the data anonymous, it is not possible to draw conclusions about your person. These so-called server log files are stored for a maximum of 7 days and then deleted. The data is stored for security reasons, e.g. to be able to clarify cases of abuse. If data must be retained for evidentiary reasons, it is exempt from deletion until the incident has been finally clarified.
