General information on data processing
As a matter of principle, we process personal data of our users only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services.

Insofar as individual websites, web pages or functions carry out processing that deviates from this data protection declaration, the corresponding information will be provided in a separate data protection declaration.

The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and the log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e), para. 3 DSGVO in conjunction with. § 3 NDSG and §3 NHG.

The temporary storage of this data by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user's computer.

In addition, we use the data to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.

In the case of storage of data in log files, this is the case after fourteen days at the latest. Storage beyond this period is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated, so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible.

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is technically necessary for the operation of the website.
