The storage and processing of personal data is also carried out to maintain the compatibility of our website for as many visitors as possible and to combat misuse and eliminate malfunctions. For this purpose, it is necessary to log the technical data of the accessing computer in order to be able to react as quickly as possible to display errors, attacks on our IT systems, and/or errors in the functionality of our website. In addition, we use the data to optimize the website and to generally ensure the security of our information technology systems. Duration of storage The aforementioned technical data is deleted as soon as it is no longer needed to ensure the compatibility of the website for all visitors, but no later than 3 months after our website is accessed.
