2. Data collection
Server-Log-File with AWStats
On this website, the following data is collected, stored and analysed for marketing and optimisation purposes:
- The IP address of the requesting computer (anonymous, will be deleted after 3 months)
- Date and time of access
- Desired access method / function from the requesting computer
- Name and URL of the requested file
- Amount of transferred data
- Screen size
- Access status of the web server (file transfered, file not found, command not executed, etc.)
- URL from which the access was done
For this purpose, AWStats, a free web analysis software, is used. It is used for the analysis of logfiles, which the webserver produces on the basis of visitor’s inquiries. The software does not use cookie data for the analysis. The statistical analysis is made by using logfiles, which also contain IP addresses. In contrast to other web analysis software, AWStats does not transfer data to third party servers. The programme is installed on its own hosting package. This, for example, also prevents data transmission abroad, as our server is located in Germany.
These data will not be combined with data from other sources.The basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) DSGVO, which allows the processing of data to fulfill a contract or for measures preliminary to a contract.
Visitors to our website agree to the use of the software AWStats. The data will not be used to personally identify visitors to this website.
