The following information is temporarily stored in system files and automatically collected: IP address of your device, date and time of access, name and URL of accessed files, website from which access is made or from which you were directed to our site (referrer URL), browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your device and the name of your provider.

We process the mentioned data for the purpose of smooth connection establishment and system security. The resulting connection data will be automatically erased and is not retained for more than seven days. If the website is misused, log files, which need to be retained for evidence purposes, are saved until the incident is clarified.

This includes data of your user profile, usage data of the e-learning portal, training results or certificates of participation and messages sent via the portal.

We use the software Matomo for analysis and statistical evaluation of the website usage. This is a legitimate interest in the context of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The generated data on the website usage is transferred to our servers and summarized in pseudonymous usage profiles. The data is processed to evaluate the usage of the website and enable us to adapt our website design accordingly. The data will not be transferred to third parties. Under no circumstances will the IP address be combined with other user-related data. The IP addresses anonymised, so that an assignment is not possible (IP-Masking).
