Which personal data is collected?
Personal data are all data by which you can be personally identified. As we do not use registration forms, newsletters or cookies (small files stored on the user's devices when visiting our website), there are mainly two types of personal data we are storing:
- Personal contact details that you have disclosed to us in the context of inquiries, pre-contractual relations or contracts via email or ordinary mail services. If these inquiries are settled we are deleting this information, except if there is an ongoing professional communication (e.g. if we are project partners) or if there are documentation obligations emanating inter alia from the German Commercial Code (HGB) and the German Tax Code (AO).
- So-called server log files storing technical data from the devices used to view our webpages. When using our online services, your browser transfers information to our server that is needed for display of our content and to ensure stability and security of the website. We collect access data (so-called server log files) on the basis of our legitimate interests in the sense of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR for each access to the server. These access data include the name of the accessed website, file, date and time of access, transferred data volume, notification of successful access, browser type and version, the user's operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address and the requesting provider. Log file information is stored for a maximum of some days for security reasons (e.g. to investigate misuse, fraud or unauthorised use) and then deleted. Data needed as evidence in an ongoing investigation are excluded from deletion until the respective incident has been finally clarified. In general the data processed by us will be deleted or their processing restricted in accordance with Articles 17 and 18 GDPR. Unless expressly stated in this data protection declaration, any data stored will be deleted if no longer required for its intended purpose and if deletion does not conflict with any statutory storage obligations.
