This data is not stored alongside any other personal data relating to the user.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Legal basis for data processing<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ensuring the website functions properly<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>technical optimisation of content and presentation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ensuring the security of our IT systems (e.g. to defend against attacks)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Purpose of data processing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the delivery of the website to the user's computer. For this purpose, the user's IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session. Furthermore, storage takes place in log files to ensure the functionality of the website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The data is not analysed for marketing purposes in this context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Storage duration<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of data collected for the purpose of providing the website, this occurs once the relevant session has ended. Log files are generally deleted after 7 days at the latest. Storage beyond this period is possible provided that the users\u2019 IP addresses have been anonymised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Right to object and rectify<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The collection of data for the purpose of providing the website and the storage of this data in log files is essential for the operation of the website. Users therefore have no right to object.<a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use of cookies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our website uses cookies.
