Personal data shall be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage no longer applies. In addition, storage may take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws, or other provisions to which the controller is subject.

The legal basis for processing by our hosting provider is Article 28 (3) of the DSGVO.

Purpose of the data processing

Temporary IP address storage by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user's computer. For this purpose, the IP address of the user must remain stored for the duration of the session. The data is stored to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, we use the data to optimise the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.

Duration of storage

Log files are anonymised after seven days at the latest by shortening the IP address, unless specific circumstances necessitate continuing to hold the data for the aforementioned purpose.

Options for objection and removal

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, the user has no option to object.
