1. Data Processing Overview

According to Art. 4 No. 1 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation, GDPR), “processing” refers to any operation performed on personal data, whether by automated means or not. This includes collection, storage, alteration, use, transmission, erasure, and more.

This Privacy Policy aims to inform you about the type, scope, purpose, duration, and legal basis for the processing of personal data under our control or in conjunction with others. We also outline the third-party components we use that may involve data processing.

2. Use of Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to analyze usage of our website. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR, based on our legitimate interest in optimizing our site and user experience.

Data such as your IP address, location, time, or frequency of website visits may be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. We use the anonymization function to truncate your IP address before transmission, enhancing your privacy.

Google uses this data to provide us with reports about website activity and may also offer additional services. According to Google, your IP address will not be connected to other data held by them.
