3.2 Access data

We collect information about you when you use this website.

Without allocating it to your person or and without any other profiling, we use this log data for statistical evaluations for the purpose of operation, security and optimisation of our website. It is furthermore used for anonymous recording of the visitor number to our website (traffic) and of the extent and type of use of our website and services. We use log data also for billing purposes in order to quantify the number of clicks received from cooperation partners.

We store IP addresses in the log files for a limited period of time if this is necessary for security purposes or for the provision or billing of a service, e.g. if you use one of our offers. After the order process has been cancelled or payment has been received, we will delete the IP address if this is no longer required for security purposes.
