4. Collecting data on our website

processing of data

We collect, process and use personal data only insofar as they are necessary for the establishment, content or amendment of the legal relationship (inventory data). This is done on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures. We collect, process and use personal data about the use of our Internet pages (usage data) only insofar as this is necessary to enable the user to use the service or to bill the user.

The collected customer data is deleted after completion of the order or termination of the business relationship. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

Necessary data processing to provide the website

When our website is accessed, your web browser automatically sends data to our web server. These are:

IP address or host name of the user
Browser type and browser version
User's operating system
Date and time of the server request
Referrer URL

Purpose of data collection to provide the website

Your IP address must be recorded by our system during the delivery of the website in order to technically enable you to access the website. Thus, the collection of your IP is carried out in accordance with DSGVO Art. 6 Para. 1 lit a and corresponds to your consent to visit our website.

Possibility of objection and deletion

Since the collection of data is technically necessary for the delivery of the website, there is no possibility for the user to object or for us to delete the data. The IP address is automatically deleted when the user leaves the website.

Server log files

The website provider automatically collects and stores information in the so-called server log files that the browser automatically sends to us. These are:

  • Browser type and browser version
  • used operating system
  • Relevant URL
  • The host name of the computer from which the data was accessed
  • Time to generate a server request
  • IP address

Your IP address is changed during transmission to the server log files and thus anonymised. A personal allocation of the stored data is therefore no longer possible.

This data is not combined with other data sources.

These data are collected on the basis of Art. 6 clause 1 letter f of the General Regulation on the Protection of Personal Data. The website administrator has a legitimate participation in the technical presentation and optimization of his/her website - for this purpose, it is necessary to archive the server's log files.

Duration of storage

Your IP address is stored for the duration of your session. The server log files are deleted after one day.
