Access data / Server logfiles
The provider (or its web space provider) collects data about every access to the Web Content (so-called server log files). The access data includes: name of the website requested, file, date and time of the request, volume of data transferred, message about successful request, browser type with version, operating system of the user, referrer URL (the page previously visited), IP address and the requesting provider. The provider only uses these log files for statistical evaluations of the system workflow, security and optimization of the Web Content. However, should there be a concrete threat given by the justified suspicion of unlawful use, then the provider reserves the right to check the log files.
Handling of personal data
Personal data is an information by which a person can be identified, i.e. data that can be traced back to a person. This includes name, email address or phone number. Also, however, data about preferences, hobbies, memberships or which web pages have been viewed by someone counts as personal data. Personal data is only collected, used and disclosed by the provider where this is legally allowed or the user consents to the data collection.
Contact
When making contact with the provider (for example using the contact form or email) the user’s details are saved for processing the inquiry as well as for the event that follow-up questions may arise.
Integration of third party services and content
It may happen that within this Web Content, third party content such as YouTube videos, Google Maps map data, RSS feeds or graphics from other websites is integrated. This always requires that the providers of this content (“third-party providers”) are aware of the IP address of the users, since without the IP address, they would not be able to send the content to the respective user’s browser.

However, we have no influence over whether the third-party providers save the IP address e.g. for statistical purposes. Should we be aware of this, then we will inform the user about it.
