II. Processing of your data

1. Provision of the website and log files

1.1 Purpose of data processing

Each time our website is accessed, our system, i.e. the web server, automatically records information from the system of the user’s computer or end device used to access the website, which may allow identification. We collect the following data in this context:

  • Date and time of access
  • IP address of the requesting computer
  • Host name of the accessing computer
  • Website from which the website is accessed (referrer)
  • Page of the website visited
  • Notification of whether access was successful
  • Amount of data transmitted
  • User agent
  • host name accessed
  • Information on the browser type and the version used
  • Operating system of the user’s end device
  • User’s internet service provider

Storage of data is used for system-related and statistical purposes. We use this information to update our website, improve its appearance and increase its attractiveness on an ongoing basis. We also use the data to detect and ward off attacks and to investigate the suspicion of criminally relevant use. We do not consolidate the data collected with other sources of data, in particular data that relates to a specific person. The temporary storage of the user’s IP address on our system is necessary in order to deliver the website to your end device. To do this, your IP address must be saved for the duration of the session.

1.2 Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of this data and the log files is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR (our legitimate interests as responsible website operator). The processing of the personal data for the purposes listed under 1.2 also represents our legitimate interest in the processing of the personal data stated.

1.3 Storage term

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purposes of its collection. In the case of data recording for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session is terminated. In the case of saving the data in log files, the data is deleted after 7 days. No back-ups are created of log files. Only the provider as a telecommunications provider is obligated pursuant to Para. 113 b TKG to store

  1. the internet protocol address assigned to the participant for internet use,
  2. a clear identifier of the connection via which the internet is used and an assigned user identifier,
  3. the date and time of the start and end of internet use under the assigned internet protocol address including the respective time zone

for a period of ten weeks. Storage in addition to this may be possible for the prosecution of administrative or criminal offences if an investigative process is launched.

1.4 Required by law or contract

You are neither legally nor contractually obligated to provide the personal data. However, not providing this data is not technically possible and would cause the content of the website to not appear on your end device.

1.5 Categories of recipients of the personal data

Crespel & Deiters GmbH & Co. KG does not disclose the personal data to third parties unless it is obligated to do so by statutory provisions or you have given your permission.

Exempt from this is the integration of service providers, e.g. for hosting the website, that have been carefully selected especially with regard to data protection and data security and for whom all measures required under data protection law for permissible data processing have been taken. Data processing does not take place outside the European Union.
