Website access and server logs
When you visit this website or download a file, your browser necessarily sends technical request data to the web server. The hosting system stores an anonymized version of your IP address, together with the date and time of the request, the requested page or file, the referring page if supplied by your browser, browser and operating-system information, the response status and the amount of data transferred.
This data is processed to deliver the website and downloads, maintain reliable and secure operation, diagnose technical problems and investigate misuse or security incidents. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR; German: Datenschutz-Grundverordnung, DSGVO). Our legitimate interests are the secure, reliable and efficient provision of this website and its software downloads.
Server-log data is deleted or anonymized when it is no longer required for operation, troubleshooting or security. It may be retained longer where this is necessary to investigate a specific incident or comply with a legal obligation.
Aggregate statistics with AWStats
We use AWStats on the server to create aggregate statistics from web-server logs. IP addresses are stored in anonymized form in accordance with legal requirements. The final part of each IP address is replaced before it is stored, and the statistics are based on this anonymized data. AWStats does not set cookies and does not store information in your browser. We do not use these statistics to identify individual visitors or to track visitors across other websites.
The statistics help us understand general website and download usage and improve the website. This processing is based on our legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR in maintaining and improving our website while minimizing visitor data.
Cookies, advertising and profiling
This website does not use cookies, browser storage, user accounts, advertising trackers or third-party analytics. It does not use automated decision-making or profiling. We do not sell personal data.
The website contains links to external websites. No connection to those websites is made merely because a link is displayed. If you follow an external link, the privacy statement of the destination website applies.
Email communication
If you contact us by email, we process your email address, message and any information you voluntarily provide in order to answer your inquiry. Depending on the subject of your message, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR for steps taken at your request or Article 6(1)(f) GDPR for general correspondence and customer support. Information is retained only as long as necessary to handle the inquiry and meet applicable contractual or statutory retention requirements.
Recipients and service providers
Technical hosting and infrastructure providers may process request and server-log data on our behalf to operate and secure the website. Personal data is disclosed to other recipients only where necessary to provide a requested service, comply with a legal obligation or protect legal rights.
Your rights
Subject to the conditions of the GDPR (DSGVO), you may have the right to request access to and rectification or erasure of your personal data, restriction of processing and data portability. You may object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to processing based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
