Collection and Processing of Personal Data
This Web site uses Piwik, a free GPL-licensed Web analysis software that is available at http://piwik.org/. We only use the recorded statistical user data for running improvements and optimization to our online service.
Piwik uses so-called "cookies", which are text files that are saved on your computer and allow us to analyze your use of the Web site. The information created by the cookie concerning your use of this Web site (including your anonymous IP address) is transferred to our hosting service provider in Germany and saved there for analysis purposes. That means we use the information to analyze how our Web site is used and compile reports on it.
When using Piwik, we use the module "AnonymizeIP", which makes the IP address of the visiting user anonymous. We are therefore unable to link it to a specific person and will not pass information on to third parties.
