Each time a webpage is loaded the following information is collected: IP address of the loading browser, the time of loading, the page loaded as well as information over the previously loaded page (the referrer), the type and version of the loading browser as well as the resolution of your computer screen. These data serve as defensive measures and as a protection against any misuse of our offering (brute-force attacks), as well as for the analysis and improvement of our service, and for the collection of loading statistics from our online offering such as country, browser type etc.

In addition this information can be made available to the authorities as evidence should there be a cyber attack. We do not use the IP address either to identify or to locate you. These general data are stored in so called server logs and are separate from personal data.

As long as no overriding interests are in play such as a court case or a legal request from the authorities, then your IP address will be deleted or no longer attributable.
