The storage and processing of personal data is also carried out in order to maintain the compatibility of our website for as many visitors as possible and to combat abuse and eliminate malfunctions. For this purpose, it is necessary to log the technical data of the accessing computer in order to be able to react as early as possible to display errors, attacks on our IT systems and/or errors affecting the functionality of our website. In addition, we use the data to optimise the website and to generally ensure the security of our information technology systems.

5 Statistical analysis of visits to this website – Web trackers

We collect, process and store the following data when this website or individual files of the website are accessed: IP address, browser type, browser language, device operating system, device type, geographical location, number of visits, referrer URL, screen resolution, usage data, sub-pages visited. We use this access data exclusively in a non-personalised form for the continuous improvement of our internet offering and for statistical purposes. We also use the following web trackers to evaluate visits to this website:

5.1 Matomo (local)
On our site, we use the service Matomo (local) of the company InnoCraft Ltd, 150 Willis St, 6011 Wellington, New Zealand, Email: privacy@matomo.org, website: matomo.org. The transmission and processing of personal data takes place exclusively on servers in the European Union. 

The legal basis for the transmission of personal data is your consent to the processing in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR.

Matomo is hosted on our own server infrastructure and configured by us in such a way that no data transmission to Matomo, InnoCraft Ltd or other third parties takes place. The purpose of collecting statistical data is to monitor the functionality and user-friendliness of our website and to optimise it by analysing anonymised user flows. This enables us to identify which content is relevant to our site visitors and users and to expand our offering in this regard. From the data collected, we can also create anonymous user profiles and read out general statistical information. The data collected in this context will not be merged with other personal data without separate consent.

The data collection by our local Matomo instance is also set up to be data protection friendly. Collected IP addresses are anonymised before collection and processing. We have also activated the “Do not track” preference in Matomo. This ensures that a “Do not track” request from your browser is observed by Matomo when a page is accessed on our website and, irrespective of our other measures, the page user is not recorded. You can prevent collection by Matomo at any time by activating the “Do not track” setting of the browser.

With regard to the processing, you have the right to object stipulated in Art. 21 GDPR. You will find more detailed information at the end of this data protection declaration.

Further information on the handling of the transmitted data can be found in the provider’s data protection declaration at matomo.org/faq/general/faq18254/.

6 Order processor

We have the hosting carried out by a carefully selected service provider. This external service provider complies with data protection regulations and is bound by our instructions and regularly monitored.

7 Data security and data protection, communication by email

Your personal data is protected by technical and organisational measures during collection, storage and processing in such a way that it is not accessible to third parties. In the case of unencrypted communication by email, we cannot guarantee complete data security on the transmission path to our IT systems. We therefore recommend encrypted communication or the postal service for information requiring a high level of confidentiality.
