1.1 Explanation of data protection
In principle, data protection applies to all information relating to an identified or identifiable individual and which can be directly or indirectly attributed to that individual (so-called personal data). In particular, this includes details such as name, address, date of birth, etc., or combinations thereof.
However, information that can, in principle, be attributed to a natural person via an identifier (e.g. a number, IP address, etc.) is also subject to data protection requirements.
However, if the information has been altered to such an extent that neither direct nor indirect attribution to a natural person is possible, it is considered anonymised data. Such data (e.g. aggregated data sets or truncated IP addresses) no longer falls under data protection regulations.
The following explanations are intended to inform you about the processing of personal data in relation to this website. The term ‘processing’ encompasses the entire process from the collection, storage, processing and/or disclosure of data through to its erasure.
