Logging of data
Collected data
When accessing our homepage and fetching data provided on the homepage, your access data will be logged by us automatically. The data collected in this way will be used for statistical purposes in order to assess the use of our website and optimise our services. It is not possible for us to allocate the data to certain people. In no case will various data be amalgamated.
IP-address
Your IP-address is stored temporarily on our system when it is accessed. This is used exclusively to protect our system against unauthorised intervention and access. It might be possible to identify the user via the IP address – in connection with other user data (date, time). After a maximum of seven days the IP address will be de-personalised and it is then no longer possible to identify the user. The statistical assessment of anonymous data sets in accordance with the previous statements remains reserved.
