2. Data processed for the provision of the website and the creation of log files

a. What data is processed for what purpose?

We do not store any personal data
We do not use cookies for personal data storage
We do not track your activities

Cookies that can be set are used exclusively for the functionality of the website:
WordPress may set the ‘wpEmojiSettingsSupports’ cookie when a user interacts with emojis on a WordPress website. It helps determine whether the user’s browser can display emojis correctly. We do not use this interaction.
The cookie ‘pll _language’ is used by Polylang to remember the language selected by the user when they return to the website, and also to retain the language information if it is not available by other means.

Each time you access content on the website, data is temporarily stored that may allow you to be identified. The following data is collected:

– Date and time of access
– IP address
– host name of the accessing computer
– Website from which the website was accessed
– Websites accessed via the website
– Visited page on our website
– Message as to whether the retrieval was successful
– Amount of data transferred
– Information about the browser type and version used
– Operating system

Temporary storage of the data is necessary for the course of a website visit to enable delivery of the website. Further storage in log files takes place in order to ensure the functionality of the website and the security of the information technology systems. Our legitimate interest in data processing also lies in these purposes.

b. What is the legal basis for processing this data?

The data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 letter f GDPR.

d. How long will the data be stored?

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended. The log files are stored directly for a maximum of 24 hours and are only accessible to administrators. After that, they are only available indirectly via the reconstruction of backup tapes and are permanently deleted after a maximum of four weeks.

3. Rights of data subjects

a. Right to information

You can request information about your personal data that we process in accordance with Art. 15 GDPR.

b. Right to object:

You have the right to object for particular reasons (see point II).

c. Right to rectification

If the information concerning you is not (or no longer) correct, you can request a correction in accordance with Art. 16 GDPR. If your data is incomplete, you can request that it be completed.

d. Right to erasure

You can request the erasure of your personal data in accordance with Art. 17 GDPR.

e. Right to restriction of processing

In accordance with Art. 18 GDPR, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.

f. Right to lodge a complaint

If you believe that the processing of your personal data violates data protection law, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority of your choice in accordance with Art. 77 para. 1 GDPR. This also includes the data protection supervisory authority responsible for the controller: State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information North Rhine-Westphalia, https://www.ldi.nrw.de/kontakt/ihre-beschwerde.

g. Right to data portability

In the event that the requirements of Art. 20 para. 1 GDPR are met, you have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract handed over to you or to third parties. The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of log files are absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. They are therefore not based on consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, but are justified pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The requirements of Art. 20 (1) GDPR are therefore not fulfilled in this respect.

II. Right to object pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR

You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of your personal data which is based on point (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR. The controller will then no longer process the personal data unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of log files are absolutely necessary for the operation of the website.
