III. Purposes and legal basis for processing data

• IP address of the requesting computer

The storage of the aforementioned access data is necessary for technical reasons to provide a functional website and to ensure system security. This also applies to the storage of your IP address, which is necessary and, under further conditions, can at least theoretically enable an assignment to your person. In addition to the above-mentioned purposes, we use server log files exclusively for the needs-based design and optimization of our website, purely statistically and without inferring any conclusions about your person. This data is not merged with other data sources, nor is the data evaluated for marketing purposes.

The access data collected as part of the use of our website is only stored for the period for which this data is required to achieve the above purposes. Your IP address is stored on our web server for a maximum of 8 weeks for IT security purposes. 

If you visit our website to find out about our range of products and services or to use them, the basis for the temporary storage and processing of access data is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. b GDPR, which allows the processing of data to fulfill a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures. In addition, Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the temporary storage of technical access data.
