Privacy policy​

Protecting your personal data is very important to us. We therefore process your data exclusively in accordance with the applicable legal regulations (GDPR and other relevant European data protection laws). In this Privacy Policy, we inform you about the key aspects of data processing on our website.

Access data

The website provider collects data about accesses to the site and stores these as “server log files”. The following data may be logged in this way:

  • Visited website
  • Time at the time of access
  • Amount of data sent in bytes
  • Source/reference from which you came to the page
  • Browser used
  • Operating system used

The data collected is used only for operation purposes and to improve the website. The data is deleted regularly and no personal information is tracked over multiple visits. 

Security plugin

To protect our website against unauthorized access and attacks, we use the Wordfence security plugin (by Defiant, Inc.). Wordfence locally processes IP addresses and access attempts to ensure website security. No data is transmitted to Wordfence servers outside the EU as the participation in the Wordfence Real-Time Security Network has been deactivated. The use of Wordfence is based on our legitimate interest in the secure operation of this website in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
