4. Server log files

When the site is accessed, the hoster automatically records the following access data in so-called server log files:

• IP address of the requesting device
• Date and time of access
• Name and URL of the requested file
• Amount of data transferred and HTTP status code
• Browser and operating system used (user agent)

These data are not merged with other data sources and are not used for personal evaluation. Logs are deleted automatically after 14 days at the latest, unless a concrete suspicion of misuse requires longer storage. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) f GDPR (legitimate interest in operational security and error analysis).

5. Local storage (localStorage)

The values remain exclusively on your device and are not transmitted to us. You can clear them at any time via your browser settings.

6. Service worker (offline cache)

A service worker stores publicly accessible site assets (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, icons) in the browser cache so that the site also works without a network connection. No personal data is collected or transmitted to us in the process.

If you reach out to us by email or phone, we store your information including contact details solely to process your request. Legal basis is Art. 6 (1) b GDPR (pre-contractual measures) respectively f (legitimate interest in effective communication). The data are deleted once your request has been conclusively processed and no statutory retention obligations (e.g. under HGB or AO) stand in the way.
