We will collect personal information from visitors to this Website, including automated data collected in server log files; personal data deliberately provided by the Website user through web forms, subscription pages and similar means; and personal data collected through cookies, web beacons and similar technology.

We furthermore collect and process personal data to improve and disseminate marketing material, such as publications, invitations and other information.

In the following sections of this Statement, we explain how these types of data are collected and used, for which purposes and duration and on which legal basis.

When you use our Website, we automatically collect your IP address, traffic source, search keywords, page views, visits, language (aggregate), location (aggregate), browser and operating systems (aggregate), network (aggregate), device (aggregate), as well as other connection data like time and transferred data (collectively referred to as “automated data”).

We store and use this automated data in server log files for the reason of system integrity and security and in order to be able to investigate and prosecute infringements or abuse of our Website and to cooperate with authorities involved (security and prosecution purposes). We also use this information in order to enhance our services and to provide you with a positive user experience (marketing and analytics purposes).

In order to pursue these purposes, we make accessible and share automated data with our IT security team, supervisory authorities and/or prosecution departments (for security and prosecution purposes) and qualified personnel (marketing, analytics) having access to the tools that are used for collecting and analyzing the automated data (Google Analytics and others, see below in section “Google Analytics” and “Marketing automation, customer relationship management (CRM), publications and invitations.”)

We store the information required for security and prosecution purposes on a legitimate interest basis and the data required for marketing and analytics purposes (legitimate interest or where required, by obtaining your prior consent), for the period necessary to pursue the purposes outlined in this section, or as permitted by statutory laws.

We do not rely on our legitimate business interests (but obtain your prior consent), if they are overridden by your personal interests or fundamental rights and freedoms which require protection of personal data.
