When our website is visited, standardized log information is automatically collected from the user's computer, such as information about which browser and version is used, ISP, IP address and date and time of access.

This information enables us to provide, further develop and improve our website. We will not try to find out the identity of the user as a result of the visit to our website. We will also not link data collected in this way with personally identifiable information from another source to identify the user.

Data stored in log files is deleted regularly. Additional storage is possible, but then the user's IP address is deleted or anonymized.

Cookies are sometimes used to collect data that is considered to be personal data, such as IP address and information linked to the IP address, but not personal data that is directly attributable to the user.

The user can also contact us with general questions via e-mail. In that case, personal data provided by the user via e-mail is processed. The personal data is only used to process such correspondence. The personal data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the collection.

We use Google Analytics to track users' activities on our site. Google Analytics is a web analytics tool from Google Inc.

Users have the right to request information about what personal data we store about the user.

If the personal data we have is out of date or incorrect, the user also has the right to request an update and correction of the data. The user may also have the right to request deletion of personal data we have about the user, provided that we do not have a statutory obligation to retain the data or a legitimate interest in retaining such data that weighs heavier.

If the processing of personal data is carried out after consent, the user has the right to contact the data controller at any time to revoke his consent, without this affecting the legality of the processing of personal data before this was revoked.

Any request for access, correction and deletion, as well as revocation of consent, must be made in writing to the data controller.
