This data is collected and processed in order to enable the use of our website (to establish a connection), guarantee the security and stability of the system on a long-term basis, allow us to optimize our Internet offering and for internal statistical purposes. Herein lies our legitimate interest in data processing.

The IP address is also evaluated together with the other data in the event of attacks on the network infrastructure or other unauthorized or improper use of the website for information and defense purposes and, where appropriate, used in criminal proceedings for identification purposes and in civil and criminal proceedings against the users concerned. Herein lies our legitimate interest in data processing.
