A person becomes identifiable, for example, by providing their address or bank details, date of birth or user name, IP addresses and/or location data. Of relevance here is any information that can possibly allow a conclusion to be drawn about a person.

2.2 Processing
Under GDPR Art. 4 No. 2, ‘processing’ is understood to mean any operation concerning personal data. This applies in particular to the collection, recording, organisation, arrangement, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure, transmission, dissemination or any other form of making available, comparison or linking, restricting, deleting or destruction of personal data.

If we use the help of external service providers to process your personal data, this is done within the framework of commissioned processing, in which we as the client are authorised to issue instructions to our contractors. We use external service providers for the hosting of our website. We host our website with netcup GmbH (address: Riedemannweg 60, 13627 Berlin), an external provider at a data centre location in Frankfurt-on-Main, Germany. If further external service providers are used for the individual processing operations set out in Section IV, they will be named there.

We will provide information on exceptions to this principle in the processing operations outlined below. Any data transfer to third countries then takes place on the basis of EU standard contractual clauses.

• IP address
• Browser software used, as well as its version and language
• The website from which visitors have accessed the website (the ‘referrer’)
• The date and time the website was accessed

These are also stored in our systems’ log files. The temporary storage of your IP address by the system is necessary to be able to deliver our website to a user’s terminal. For this purpose, the user’s IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session. Your IP address is also recorded in the log files for security reasons to prevent attacks on our website (in particular, DDos attacks) and to prevent
fraud.

6.2 Purpose
Processing is carried out to enable the website to be called up and to ensure its stability and security. Furthermore, the processing serves the statistical evaluation and improvement of our online offer.

6.3 Legal basis
Processing is necessary to protect the overriding legitimate interests of the controller (GDPR Art. 6 para. 1 point f)). Our legitimate interest is the purpose set out under Clause 6.2.

6.4 Storage period
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 when the respective session has ended. The log files are deleted after 30 days.

7. CONTACTING US BY EMAIL
7.1 Description of processing
You can also contact us via the email addresses provided on the website. In this case, the personal data transmitted with the email will be processed by us.

FONT SUBSTITUTION
When our website is displayed, your terminal’s standard fonts are replaced by text fonts. This is done in order to make the display of the text on our customer portal clearer and more attractive. We have decided to adopt a privacy-friendly solution to font substitution. We do not use any external services, such as Google Fonts or Adobe Fonts. Instead, the fonts which are replaced are stored locally on our server. When you visit our site, this has the advantage that no request is made from your browser to external font substitution services, and therefore no data is transmitted to third parties, particularly linking your IP address to the address of our website.

10. EXTERNAL LINKS
