The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

I.III.Purpose of data processing and legitimate interest

  • Temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user’s computer.

    In addition, personal data is stored in anonymised form. In this case, the IP addresses of users are stored in anonymised form so that it is no longer possible to identify the calling client.

  • This data is not analysed for marketing purposes.

The website is made available via a web host (IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Str. 57, 56410 Montabaur, Germany). In this respect, the web host acts as our processor and processes the personal data accordingly only for our – above-mentioned – purposes.

III.IV.Friendly Captcha

The tool is used to prevent automated and abusive requests by bots. As part of this process, your IP address is recorded by Friendly Captcha in order to send a cryptographic task to your end device. This task is solved in the background and as soon as it is solved, Friendly Captcha confirms to the server that the user is a natural person.

Friendly Captcha processes and stores the following data in the above-mentioned process:

  • Anonymised IP address of the requesting computer
  • Information about the browser and operating system used
  • Anonymised counter per IP address to control the cryptographic tasks
  • Website from which the access took place (so-called referrer URL)

This data is used exclusively for protection against bots.

The legal basis for the processing is the legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR to prevent abusive access or spam attacks by bots. If personal data is processed when Friendly Captcha is used, it will be deleted after 30 days.

      6. Right to information

You have the right vis-à-vis the controller to be informed about these recipients.

      7. Right to data portability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to the controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.

You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR.
The controller will no longer process the personal data concerning you unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

You have the option, in connection with the use of information society services – notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC – to exercise your right to object by means of automated procedures that use technical specifications.

      9. Right to revoke the declaration of consent under data protection law

You have the right to withdraw your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
