Providing the Website and generating logfiles
Every time when our website is called, our system automatically captures data and information from the end terminal calling (e.g. computer, mobile phone, tablet etc.).
Which personal data are collected and to what extent are they processed?
- information about the browser type and the version used;
- the operating system of the end terminal (access device);
- host name of the accessing computers;
- IP address of the end terminal;
- date and time of the access;
- websites and resources (images, files, other website contents) called from our website;
- websites from which the user’s system was referred to our website (referrer tracking);
- message, whether the call has been successful;
- data volume transmitted
These data will be stored in our system’s logfiles, although they will not be stored together with a specific user’s personal data, so that individual visitors of the website cannot be identified.
Legal basis for processing personal data

Purpose of data processing
The temporary (automated) storage of the data is required for the process of a visit to the website, so that the website can be presented. Besides, the personal data are also stored and processed, in order to maintain our website’s compatibility for as many visitors as possible, for trouble-shooting and to combat abuse. This makes it necessary to log the technical data of the accessing computer, so as to be able to respond to display errors, attacks on our IT systems and/or faults in our website’s functionality as early as possible. Besides, the data help us optimizing the website and securing the general safety of our IT systems.
Duration of storage
