Collection of General Information When Visiting Our Website

Nature and Purpose of Data Processing:

When you access our website, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise transmit information, information of a general nature is automatically collected. This information (server log files) includes, for example, the type of web browser, the operating system used, the domain name of your Internet service provider, your IP address and similar.

They are processed in particular for the following purposes:

Ensuring a smooth connection setup of the website, ensuring smooth use of our website, evaluating system security and stability, and optimizing our website.

We do not use your data to draw conclusions about your person. Information of this kind is evaluated by us, if necessary, in anonymized form for statistical purposes, in order to optimize our website and the technology behind it.

Storage duration:

In the case of storage of data in log files, this is the case after at most 14 days. Storage beyond this period is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are anonymized, so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible.

GDPR), we use HubSpot, a platform for inbound marketing and sales. HubSpot uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about the use of the online offer by the users is usually transmitted to a HubSpot server in the USA and stored there.
