Data protection

Data collection and data processing

With your access to this website, possible identification data and other information are stored on our server for data security purposes. There is no other evaluation of the data, with the exception of purely internal statistical purposes.

The following data is stored in the log file of our server:

·         Name of retrieved file

·         Date and time of retrieval

·         Message whether the retrieval was successful

·         IP address

·         used browser

·         operating system used

·         Refer

The forum software also stores the following posting-related data:

·         Posting date and time

·         IP address

It should be noted that all of this data is generated automatically as part of a normal website call - just like any other website on the Internet. The standard functions of every web server software or forum software also provide for the automatic storage of this data. So it doesn't save anything unusual or more than it would normally.

For the users of the protected area, we also store cookies on your hard drive with a validity period of 23 days, 3 hours and 33 minutes, which only contain a unique number and which have no meaning outside of our website. We only use this number to identify and authorize you after successful registration in the protected area for the entire duration of your visit. You have the right and the ability to refuse our cookies. The publicly accessible part of our information offer is of course also available to you in full.

Data transmission

Your personal data will only be transmitted to state institutions and authorities in cases required by law or for criminal prosecution due to attacks on our network infrastructure. A transfer to third parties for other purposes does not take place. If we pass on statistical data about website use to third parties, these are always total figures that do not allow any conclusions to be drawn about individual users.

Data erasure

The data we collect is automatically deleted as soon as its purpose (data security) has been fulfilled. The data collected by the forum will be deleted in such a way that we have the data from the last six months at most. The data collected by the web servers is deleted in such a way that we have the data from the last three months at most. Our internal statistical evaluations are not deleted, but it is no longer possible to draw conclusions about individual users from them.
