  • Server log data

For each query, our web server processes a range of data that your browser automatically sends to our web server. This data includes the current IP address of your device, the date and time of your query, the time zone, the actual page or file accessed, the http status code and the volume of data transferred; it also includes the website from which your query originated, the browser used, the operating system of your device and the language setting. The web server uses this data to present the content of this website on your device in the best way possible.

1.2  Analysis of usage behaviour - Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (‘Google’). Google Analytics uses cookies, text files that are stored on your computer and that make it possible to analyse your use of the website. The information created by the cookie about your use of the website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. IP anonymisation is activated for this website, i.e. your IP address is first truncated within the European Union or in another state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the complete IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there.
As a processor in the sense of Art. 28 GDPR, Google will use this information to analyse your use of the website, to compile reports about website activities and to render to the operator of the website other services related to the use of the website and internet usage. The IP address transmitted as part of the Google Analytics service is not combined with any other Google data.
You can prevent cookies from being saved by adjusting the relevant setting in your browser software. You can prevent the storage of data created by the cookie and related to your use of the website (incl. your IP address) and Google’s processing of this data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in [LINK: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en]. Alternatively, you can set an ‘opt-out cookie’, which will prevent the capture of your data on future visits to this website.

1.3    Analysis of usage behaviour - SessionCam

We use SessionCam, a web analysis service of SessionCam Ltd, for anonymous analysis of mouse movements, clicks, scrolling behaviour and form entries, although any personal form entries (e.g. name, bank details) are automatically anonymised on collection.
You can prevent the anonymised recording of your usage behaviour at any time by setting an opt-out cookie [LINK: https://sessioncam.com/choose-not-to-be-recorded/].

1.4  Google Maps

Some subpages of this website use map materials of the service Google Maps. When accessing subpages in which the Google Maps service is embedded, in technical terms the map material is retrieved using the user’s IP address, i.e. Google’s servers can save and use your IP address and other data automatically sent by your browser (see point 1.1 above, Server log data ). The map service is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (‘Google’), and is solely governed by Google’s data protection terms (Google Privacy Policy).

We have no influence on the type and scope of data processing carried out by Google.

1.5  Google reCAPTCHA

In some form entries on this website, the Google reCAPTCHA service is used to prevent automated mass entries by malicious software. Here, Google has no access to form entries, rather it analyses the movement pattern of the mouse, as well as the click behaviour, to determine whether a human or machine is at work. When retrieving these form fields, in technical terms they are retrieved using the user’s IP address, i.e. Google’s servers can save and use your IP address and other data automatically sent by your browser (see point 1.1 above, Server log data ). reCAPTCHA is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (‘Google’), and is solely governed by the Google data protection terms (Google Privacy Policy). We would like to point out that personal data may be transmitted to the USA and other non-EU countries that may be categorised as insecure countries in data protection terms according to the GDPR.
