Data protection

We have written this privacy policy (05/03/2021, last updated 05/03/21) to explain to you, in accordance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016 / 679, what information we collect, how we use data and what decision-making options you as a visitor to this website have.

Automatic data storage

When you visit websites today, certain information is automatically created and stored, including on this website.

If you visit our website, our web server (computer on which this website is stored) automatically saves data such as

  • the address (URL) of the website you are visiting
  • browser and browser version
  • the operating system used
  • the address (URL) of the previously visited page (referrer URL)
  • the host name and IP address of the device from which it is being accessed
  • date and time

in files (web server log files).

We do not operate a strict policy regarding the management of server log files. Typically, web server log files are stored for at least two weeks. We do not archive these records. We do not disclose this information, but we cannot rule out that it will be seen in the event of unlawful behavior.

The legal basis, according to Article 6 (1f) of the GDPR (lawfulness of processing), is that there is a legitimate interest in enabling the error-free operation of this website by capturing web server log files.

Storage of personal data

This website does not provide any mechanism for storing Personal data beyond what is captured automatically through its operation.

If you send us personal information by e-mail - outside this website - we cannot guarantee secure transmission and protection of your data. We recommend that you never send confidential data by e-mail.

  • Right to rectification (Article 16 GDPR)
  • Right to cancellation (“Right to be forgotten”) (Article 17 GDPR)

  • Right to a notification - Obligation to notify in connection with the correction or deletion of personal data or limitation of processing (Article 19 GDPR)
  • Right to data portability (Article 20 GDPR)
