II Purposes and legal bases of data processing
When you use our website, we process personal data exclusively for specified purposes, which we explain in detail below for your information.
You can visit our website purely for information purposes without actively providing any further personal data. In this case, only technical access data is automatically stored about your visit to our website, which is transmitted by your browser in order to enable you to visit our website in an optimized and needs-based manner and to protect our systems from security risks (access/visit to the website, technical provision) as well as information that is transmitted to us with the appropriate browser settings as part of cookies used for statistical analysis of the use of our website and for the interest-based display of advertisements (use of cookies).
Any further processing of your personal data other than that specified in the privacy policy will only take place in cases where a legal provision expressly authorizes or obliges us to do so or where you have explicitly consented to the
data processing. We will inform you accordingly of any changes in purpose, taking into account the legal requirements.

a. Calling up and visiting our website
For the purpose of the technical provision of the website, it is necessary for us to process certain automatically transmitted information from you so that your browser can display our website and you can use the website. This information is automatically collected each time you visit our website and stored in our server log files. This information relates to the browser/operating system of the accessing computer. The following technical access data is collected:

Identification data of the browser used (e.g. browser type/version)
Date and time of your access
The storage of the aforementioned access data takes place within the framework of so-called server log files on our web server and is necessary for technical reasons to provide a functional website and to ensure system security. This also applies to the storage of your anonymized IP address, which is necessary and, under further conditions, may enable an assignment to your person. In addition to the above-mentioned purposes, we use access data exclusively for the needs-based design and optimization of our website purely statistically and without drawing conclusions about your person. The technical access data is not merged with other data sources, nor is the data analyzed for marketing purposes.
We also use cookies in order to provide you with our website in an optimized and needs-based manner (for details on this and your corresponding design options, see below in the section "Use of cookies and associated functions/technologies").
The access data collected as part of the use of our website is only stored for the period for which this data is required to achieve the aforementioned purposes. Your anonymized IP address is stored on our web server for a maximum of 7 days.
If you visit our website to find out about our range of services and other services or to use them, the temporary storage of access data and log files
takes place on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (legal basis), in particular for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In addition, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the temporary storage of technical access data and log files.
