2.1
When you use our website purely for informational purposes, i.e., without registering or otherwise transmitting information to us, we only collect the data that your browser transmits to our server (so-called “server log files”). When you access our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display the website:
• Visited website
• Date and time of access

• Source/referrer from which you accessed the site
• Browser used

• IP address used (possibly anonymized)
Processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR based on our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website. This data is not shared or used in any other way. However, we reserve the right to retrospectively check the server log files if there are concrete indications of unlawful use.

IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL CEASE PROCESSING THE RELEVANT DATA.

5) Duration of Storage of Personal Data
The duration of the storage of personal data depends on the applicable legal basis, the purpose of processing, and—if relevant—statutory retention periods (e.g., under commercial or tax law).
If the processing is based on your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, the data will be stored until you revoke your consent.
If statutory retention periods apply to data processed under Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for contractual or pre-contractual obligations, such data will be routinely deleted after these periods expire, provided the data is no longer required for contract performance or initiation and there is no legitimate interest in continued storage.
If data is processed under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, it will be stored until you exercise your right to object under Art. 21(1) GDPR, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
For data processed for direct marketing purposes under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, storage continues until you object under Art. 21(2) GDPR.
Unless otherwise specified in this policy, personal data will be deleted once it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
