STORAGE OF ACCESS DATA IN SERVER LOG FILES
For protection against external access, we store so-called server log files in the format: IP address, date and time, URL, status code, referrer, and user agent. These data are evaluated exclusively to ensure smooth operation of the site and to improve our offer and do not allow us to draw any conclusions about your person.
STORAGE DURATION OF PERSONAL DATA
Where necessary, we process and store your personal data for the duration of our business relationship. In addition, we are subject to various retention and documentation obligations, which result, among other things, from the Commercial Code (HGB) and the Fiscal Code (AO). The deadlines prescribed there for storage or documentation are two to ten years.
Furthermore, the storage period is also determined by statutory limitation periods, which, for example, according to §§ 195 ff. of the German Civil Code (BGB), are usually three years, but in certain cases can be up to thirty years.
