Definition "personal data"
Personal data are according to the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) individual information on personal or material circumstances of a particular or identifiable natural person. That is, it is information that makes any statement about a person, e.g. Name, occupation, age, etc.
On the other hand, this does not affect adequately anonymised information that can not be readily attributed to any specific person, for example statistics on user behavior (such as anonymized IP addresses).

We only store access data in so-called server log files, such as the name of the requested file, the date and time of the retrieval, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider. These data are evaluated solely to ensure trouble-free operation of the site and to improve our offer and do not allow us to infer your identity.
