If you still have questions on the way we work with your personal data, you can refer to our data protection officer (contact details below).

What is personal data?

The meaning of “personal data” is defined in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). According to the new regulation, personal data includes all information that refers to an identified or identifiable natural person. This can include for example, your rightful name, your address, your telephone number or your date of birth. Even information on how you can use this or other websites may contain personal data.

​

Providing the website

An access log through our web server has been fully anonyms. But our system does use certain security plug-in from WIX which protect our website from attack and misuse. Normal, non-damaging website accesses are usually not logged by the plug-in. However, as soon as there is the suspicion that our system is subject to an attack, data relating to the visitor’s computer system are automatically logged for forensic purposes and stored in firewall logs. The data stored includes the IP address, the data and time, the browser user agent and the reason for the suspicious activity.

Purpose of the processing

The capturing of log files serves to record averted or damaging website attacks, to secure forensic activities and to secure and stabilize our website.
