3. Access and activity logs (“server logs”)

Each access to this website automatically causes general protocol data, so-called server logs, to be collected. As a rule, this data is a pseudonym and thus does not allow for inferences about the identity of an individual. Without this data, it would, in some cases, be technically impossible to deliver or DisplayPage the contents of the software. In addition, processing this data is absolutely necessary under security aspects, in particular for access, input, transfer, and storage control. Furthermore, this anonymous information can be used for statistical purposes and for optimizing services and technology. In addition, the log files can be checked and analyzed retrospectively when unlawful use of the software is suspected. The legal basis for this is section 15 subsection 1 of the German Telemedia Act (TMG), as well as article 6 (1) f of the GDPR. Generally, data such as the domain name of the website, the web browser and web-browser version, the operating system, the IP address, as well as the timestamp of the access to the software is collected. The scope of this log process does not exceed the common log scope of any other site on the web. These access logs are stored for a period of up to 30 days. There is no right to object to this.

4. Error-Logs

So-called error logs are generated for the purpose of identifying and fixing bugs. This is absolutely necessary to ensure we can react as quickly as possible to possible problems with DisplayPageing and implementing content (legitimate interest). As a rule, this data is a pseudonym and thus does not allow for inferences about the identity of an individual. The legal basis for this is section 15 subsection 1 of the German Telemedia Act (TMG), as well as article 6 (1) f) of the GDPR. When an error message occurs, general data such as the domain name of the website, the web browser and web-browser version, the operating system, the IP address, as well as the timestamp upon occurrence of the respective error message and/or specification is collected. These error logs are stored for a period of up to 30 days. There is no right to object to this.

    This website uses the service YouTube to insert videos into the page. The operator of the software necessary for this purpose is the company Google Ireland Limited Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
    The integration of YouTube content is carried out in “extended privacy mode”. This ensures that YouTube does not initially store cookies on your device. As a result, YouTube no longer stores any information about visitors until you watch the video.
    When you click on the video, your IP address is sent to YouTube, which tells YouTube that you have watched the video. If you are logged in to YouTube, this information is also associated with your account. This can be prevented by logging out of YouTube before viewing the video.
    Accordingly, the following data can be collected and processed:

    • IP Addresses
    • Referrer URL
    • Device Information
    • Watched videos

    The legal basis of the processing is your consent according to Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR. If you do not want YouTube to collect and process the aforementioned data, you can refuse your consent or withdraw it at any time with effect for the future.
    The data will be stored for as long as it is necessary for the purpose of the procession. The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer needed for the processing purposes.
    As part of the processing, the data may be transferred to the following recipients besides Google Ireland Limited:

    • Google LLC.
    • Alphabet Inc.

    Data may be transferred to the USA as part of processing by YouTube. The security of the transmission is ensured by so-called standard contractual clauses, which guarantee that the processing of personal data is subject to a security level that corresponds to that of the GDPR. If the standard contractual clauses are not sufficient to ensure an adequate level of security, we will obtain your consent in accordance with Art. 49 (1)(a) GDPR prior to the data processing.

7. Third-Party Integrations
