DATA PRIVACY STATEMENT

The protection of your personal data is very important to us. In the following, we will explain which data we collect and use and for which purposes: Every time a user accesses an Internet page of our website and every time a file is accessed, data about this process is saved in a log file. These files are anonymous, so we are unable to determine which user requested which data. The following data record is saved for each retrieval of data. - Name of the retrieved file - Date and time of the retrieval - Amount of data transferred - Report whether the retrieval was successful. No personal user profiles are created. No conclusions can be drawn about your identity. We statistically evaluate anonymous information of this type in order to optimise our website and the technology behind it. The data is not passed on to third parties.
