    A. Provision of the website and creation of logfiles

    Every time our website is accessed, our servers and applications automatically log data and information from the accessing computer system.

    The following data are saved temporarily:

    • Your IP address
    • Date and time of your website visit
    • The address of the website visited
    • The address of the previously visited website (referrer)
    • Name and version of your browser / operating system (insofar as it has been transmitted by your browser)
       

    The data is saved in our systems' logfiles. These data are not stored together with other personal data relating to the website visitor.

    The legal basis for the temporary saving of the data and logfiles is Article 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. The data is saved in log files in order to ensure the functional capability of the website. In addition, the data serves to optimise the web pages, eliminate faults and ensure the security of our IT systems. These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in data processing according to Article 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.

    The data are deleted as soon as it as they are no longer required to fulfill the purpose of their collection. In the case of the collection of the data for the purpose of providing the website, this applies when the session in question is finished. In the case of saving data in logfiles, this applies after a maximum of seven days at the latest. Storage above and beyond this period is possible. In this case, the users' IP addresses are deleted or removed so they can no longer be allocated to the visiting client.

    Data collection for the purpose of providing the website and the saving of data in logfiles are essential to operate the website. It is therefore not possible for the website visitor to object.

    B. Web analysis

    • Two cookies to differentiate different visitors (pk_id and pk_sess)
    • Previously visited URL (referrer), if communicated by the browser
    • Name and version of the operating system
    • Name, version, and language setting of the browser

    Additionally, if JavaScript is activated:

    • URLs visited on this website
    • Times at which pages are visited
    • Type of HTML queries

Important: The do-not-track instruction generally applies only to the device and browser in which you activate the setting. If you utilize several devices/browsers, you will need to separately activate do-not-track in all relevant locations.

    2. Utilize our opt-out function. Click the following selection box:  splash-db.eu/data-collection-declaration/ in order to stop data recording or to reactivate it. If the selection box is deactivated, our central server will not store any data about you. Important: For the opt-out, we have to store a special recognition cookie in your browser. If you delete it or utilize another PC/browser, you will need to revoke data recording again on this page.
