Server log files
Each time you visit the website, your browser transmits access data, so-called server log files, which we process to ensure system security. These files contain, in particular, the time of your visit, the page from which you accessed our site (referrer. URL), the subpages you visited, your IP address, the data volume, and the browser you are using. This data is necessary to ensure system security, e.g., to identify and block an attacker in the event of a cyberattack. This is in our overriding, legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) EU GDPR); The server log files are deleted after 7 days.
Usage analysis
We use the services of etracker GmbH, Hamburg, Germany (www.etracker.com) to analyze usage data – we want to better understand how our website is used so that we can continuously optimize it. We do not use cookies for this web analysis. etracker is integrated as a data processor in compliance with data protection regulations.
The data generated by etracker is processed and stored exclusively in Germany on our behalf by etracker and is therefore subject to strict German and European data protection laws and standards. When you visit our website, a script provided to us by etracker records your IP address and related information about your visit (which subpages you visit, how long you stay there). The IP address is anonymized as soon as possible. The usage data is evaluated anonymously by etracker and statistically analyzed for the purpose of optimizing our websites. The data is not used for any other purpose, combined with other data, or disclosed to third parties.
This is in our overriding, legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) EU GDPR) to continuously optimize our websites. You may object to the data processing described above at any time. The objection has no adverse consequences and does not restrict your ability to use the website.

Data security
To protect your personal data as effectively as possible, we use encryption (HTTPS standard) along with technical and organizational security measures, which are also adapted on a risk-appropriate basis in accordance with the current state of the art.
Data subject rights
To the extent that personal data relating to you as a natural person is used, you are entitled to various data protection rights vis-à-vis us.
Pursuant to Section 34 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and Article 15 of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to obtain information about the personal data stored about you and its origin, the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the data is disclosed, and the purpose of the storage.
In addition, you may, where applicable, have the right under Section 35 of the BDSG and Articles 16–18 of the EU GDPR to have your personal data rectified, erased, or to restrict its processing. Furthermore, pursuant to Article 20 of the EU GDPR, you may request that your data be transferred to another controller.
Furthermore, you may object to the continued processing of your data if we process your data on the basis of a legitimate interest (Art. 6 (1) (f) of the EU GDPR). Unless we are processing your data for marketing purposes, this objection must be based on a reason arising from your specific situation. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data upon receipt of your objection during the subsequent review and will delete it upon completion of the review – if the objection is justified (Section 36 BDSG, Article 21 of the EU GDPR).
You may revoke your consent to data processing (Art. 6(1)(a) EU GDPR) at any time; we will then no longer process your personal data, unless there is a legal basis for doing so.
An objection or revocation does not affect the lawfulness of past data processing.
We will comply with your rights without delay and free of charge. To exercise these rights, please contact us or our Data Protection Officer; you will find the contact information at the beginning of this Privacy Policy.
Finally, pursuant to Art. 77 of the EU GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection supervisory authority.
