Annex

Server-side storage of accesses / log files

The provider, in our case Hostpoint AG in Switzerland, collects data about access to our site and saves this as “DOM & error log files” as part of the security checks. The following data is logged:
 

  • Date & time of access
  • Log information such as log type, log version, the desired action, status codes or information on the transferred data (e.g. the size of a question or an answer).
  • Depending on the application-specific information, such as message IDs for e-mails or, in the case of web access, details of the browser used (user agent string) or, if applicable, the page from which the visitor accessed the website.
  • Error messages
  • Full IP address used

 

The data collected is only used to check the security of the website. However, the website operator reserves the right to check the server log files retrospectively if there are concrete indications of unlawful use. The server log files are automatically deleted by the provider after 30 days. This measure is justified by the increasing number of hacking attempts by humans or AI. The provider does not offer the website operator the option of anonymizing the IP addresses and refers to the GTC, which includes the ADV. Further information on the processing of personal data at Hostpoint can be found here. We hereby distance ourselves from any liability claims.
