5. DATA COLLECTION ON OUR WEBSITE

- IP address of the requesting computer
- Date and time of access
- Name and URL of the file accessed
- Website from which the access was made
- Browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your computer as well as the name of your access provider
The aforementioned data is processed by us for the following purposes:
- Ensuring a smooth connection of the website
- Ensuring comfortable use of the website
- Evaluation of system security and stability
- error analysis
- for further administrative purposes
The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes for data collection listed above. In no case do we use the collected data for the purpose of drawing conclusions about your person.
The legitimate interest for this processing is as follows: The integrity and security of the website, which is carried out by Security through the collection of logs, in particular IP addresses, in order to detect the possible abuse at an early stage and to be able to take measures to reduce the damage.

6. SSL-ENCRYPTION
For security reasons, our website uses SSL encryption. This protects transmitted data and prevents it from being read by unauthorised third parties. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol, which is recognisable in your browser line on the left.

8. DATA TRANSFER TO THE US AND OTHER THIRD COUNTRIES
We use tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not secure under data protection law. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. We would like to point out that no level of data protection comparable to that in the EU can be guaranteed in these countries. For example, US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as a data subject being able to take legal action against this. It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities (e.g., intelligence services) process, evaluate and permanently store your data located on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

In this case, this data collection takes place, for example, via cookies that are stored on your end device or by recording your IP address.
With the help of the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media portals can create user profiles in which your preferences and interests are stored. In this way, you can be shown interestbased advertising inside and outside the respective social media presence. Provided you have an account with the respective social network, the interestbased advertising may be displayed on all devices on which you are or were logged in.
