§ 9 Collecting data using server log files

On our website, a series of general data is collected each time a person concerned or an automated system accesses our website. These general data are collected anonymously and stored in the log files of the server. We record (a) the browser types and versions used, (b) the operating system used by the accessing system, (c) the website from which an accessing system accesses our website (so-called referrer), (d) the sub-sites which are accessed via an accessing system on our website, (e) the date and time of an access to the website, (f) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (g) the Internet service provider of the accessing system and (h) other similar data used to avert danger in the event of attacks on our IT systems.

§ 12 Privacy policy on the use and application of Matomo

The responsible person has integrated the component Matomo in this application. Matomo is an open source software tool for usage analysis. Usage analysis is the collection and analysis of data about user behavior on applications. In the web the tool records from which website the user has accessed this website, which subpages have been accessed and how often and how long subpages have been viewed by the user. In a mobile app the tool records time spent in the application and user interactions. This analysis is used to optimize the application.

The software is operated on the server of the responsible person. All log files are stored exclusively on this server.

The legal basis for processing data is the legitimate interest of the controller to optimise and evaluate the use of the application (Art. 6 par. 1 (f) GDPR). A weighing of interests of the controller and of the data subject has been carried out.

Matomo places a cookie on the IT system of the user concerned. The cookie enables the analysis of usage. Each time one of the individual pages is called up, the Internet browser on the IT system of the person concerned is automatically prompted to transmit data to our server for the purpose of online analysis. In this process, we obtain knowledge of the IP address of the person concerned, which serves, among other things, to trace the origin of the visitors. In addition to the IP address, the access time, location from which the access originated and the frequency of visits to our website are stored. The IP address is made anonymous immediately upon collection.

By adjusting the settings of the Internet browser used, the setting of cookies by Matomo can be permanently rejected. In addition, set cookies can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software. Furthermore, it is possible to object to the recording of the use by Matomo. The person concerned must set an opt-out cookie for this purpose. If the cookie settings of the Internet browser used are reset, this cookie would have to be set again.

The setting of the opt-out cookie may lead to restrictions in the functionality of the website.

YouTube and Google do not know which specific subpage of the website is visited by the user until the video is played.

If the person concerned is logged in to YouTube at the same time, YouTube recognizes which specific subpage of our website the person concerned is visiting by calling up a subpage containing a YouTube video. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to the respective YouTube account of the person concerned.

YouTube and Google receive information via the YouTube component that the person concerned has visited our website if the person concerned is logged on to YouTube at the same time as the video is being played. If YouTube and Google do not want the data subject to submit this information to YouTube and Google in this way, the data subject may prevent the submission by logging out of his/her YouTube account before accessing our website.
