4. Data Processing for Informational Use of the Website
If you use our websites purely for information purposes, i.e., if you do not register, conclude a contract, or otherwise disclose information to us, only the personal data that your browser transmits to our servers is collected. When accessing our websites, the following data is collected, which is technically necessary to display our websites and to ensure stability and security:
- IP address of the user
- Date and time of the request
- Content of the request (specific page)
- Access status/HTTP status code
- Amount of data transferred in each case
- Website from which the request originates
- Operating system of the user

This data is temporarily stored in the log files of our hosting provider for a maximum of seven days. Storage beyond this period may occur; however, in such cases, IP addresses are partially deleted or anonymized, making it impossible to identify the accessing client. The log files are not stored together with other personal data in this context. The legal basis for these processing operations is Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Since data collection for displaying the websites and storage in log files is essential for the operation of our websites and IT security, you do not have the option to object to this processing.
