  • The user's IP address
  • The date and time of access
  • Websites from which the user's system accesses our website

Temporarily storing the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the delivery of the website to the user's computer. The user's IP address needs to remain stored for the duration of the session.

The data is also stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.

The storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, we use the data for optimising the website and to ensure the security of our IT systems. An evaluation for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.]

Social media / Linkedin

We are present in various social media in order to communicate with our customers, interested parties and users registered there and to be able to inform them about our offers there.

We would like to point out that you use these platforms and their functions as a matter of your own responsibility. This applies, in particular, to the use of interactive functions (e.g. commenting, sharing, rating).

We would also like to point out that your data may be processed outside the European Union.

In addition, your data may be processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, usage profiles may be created from your usage behaviour and the resulting interests. This allows, for example, advertisements to be placed within and outside the platforms that presumably correspond to your interest. Cookies are usually stored on your computer for this purpose. Irrespective of this, data that is not collected directly from your end devices may also be stored in the usage profiles (especially if you are a member of the respective platforms and are logged in to them).

We, as the provider of this information service, do not collect or process any further data from your use of our service.

The processing of users' personal data is based on our legitimate interests in effectively informing users and communicating with users pursuant to Article 6 (1)(1)(f) GDPR. If you are asked by the respective providers for consent to data processing (i.e. you declare your consent e.g. by ticking a checkbox or confirming a button), the legal basis of the processing is Article 6 (1)(1)(a), Article 7 GDPR.

Possibility of objection

If you are a member of a social network and do not want the network to collect data about you via our website and link it to your stored membership data with the respective network, you must log out of the respective network before visiting our website, delete the cookies present on the device and close and restart your browser. After logging in again, however, you will once more be recognisable to the network as a specific user. For a detailed description of the respective processing and the options to object (opt-out), we refer to the information of the providers linked below.

Also in the event of requests for information and the assertion of user rights, we point out that they may be asserted most effectively with the providers. Only the providers have access to the users' data and can directly take appropriate measures and provide information. If you still need help, you can contact us.
