Collection and processing of personal data on this website

Note: In order to protect your data as comprehensively as possible from unwanted access, we take so-called technical and organisational measures and use an encryption process on our website. Your data is transmitted over the Internet from your computer to our computer and vice versa using what is known as TLS encryption. TLS stands for “Transport Layer Security” and is an encryption protocol for data transmission on the internet. You can usually recognise “TLS” by the fact that the lock symbol in the status bar of your browser is closed and the address begins with https://.

When you visit our website, information is automatically stored.

These are

  • the previously visited website (if transmitted by the user!),

The legal basis for this data processing is the legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. The legitimate interest lies in being able to identify indications of unlawful use of our website (e.g. defence against hacker attacks) and to ensure a smooth connection setup.

Trinet hosts the website on rented servers of Hetzner Online GmbH based in Germany.

The data collected is stored for a maximum of 6 months. We only store the server log files in the event of attacks on our server infrastructure or other legal violations. This longer storage period is based on our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR and serves only to preserve evidence.
