2. General Information on Data Processing

We process personal data transparently and only to the extent necessary for the respective purpose, in accordance with applicable data protection legislation, in particular the GDPR.

You may generally use our website without actively providing personal data. Personal data is processed only where:

  • this is technically necessary for operating the website,

  • you contact us,

  • you subscribe to our newsletter, or

  • you actively consent to specific processing activities.

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.

As our website and digital services continue to develop, this Privacy Policy may be updated to reflect technical, organisational or legal changes in our data processing activities.

3. Website Operation and Server Log Files

When you access our website, certain technical data is automatically collected by our hosting provider to ensure website functionality, security and stability.

This may include:

  • IP address

  • date and time of access

  • browser type and version

  • operating system

  • requested pages

  • referrer URL

  • server response status

This processing is necessary to ensure secure and reliable operation of the website and to prevent misuse.

Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest).

Server log files are stored only for as long as necessary for technical and security purposes and are then deleted automatically.

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we process your personal data to send you updates, news and information related to our activities.

We do not sell or share newsletter data with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
