The processing of our users' personal data takes place only after obtaining their consent. An exception applies in cases where prior consent is de facto not possible and the subsequent processing is permitted by law. Any use of your personal data takes place solely for the stated purposes and to the extent necessary to serve these purposes.

(3) Your data will neither be published by us nor without authorization passed on to third parties. We point out, however, that we are entitled in individual cases and on the order of the competent bodies to provide information on collected data for law enforcement purposes, to aid the police forces of the Länder in the prevention of risks and the Federal Intelligence Service in fulfilling the statutory duties of the constitutional protection authorities of the Federal Government and the Länder (legal basis Article 6 section 1 item c DS-GVO).

In the following, we wish to inform you about the nature, scope and purpose of the collection and use of personal data.

No storage of this data or other personal data of the user takes place. The storage in log files serves to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data is used to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our IT systems. This data is used in anonymized form for the statistical evaluation of our website with AWStats and subsequently deleted. The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Article 6 section (1) item (f) DS-GVO.

The following data is recorded:

• The IP address of the requesting computer
• Date and time of access
• Access method / function desired by the requesting computer
• Name and URL of the retrieved file
• Transmitted amount of data
• Access status of the web server (file transfer, file not found, command not executed, etc.)
• The URL from which access is acquired
