1.3.1 Use of the sielhorst-it.de websites

In the following, we explain which data we collect during your visit to our websites (www.sielhorst-it.de or bcs.sielhorst-it.de, www.power-students.de or bcs.power-students.de or www.semantic-data-store-en, ... ) and how exactly they are used.

As a matter of principle, we do not use fully automated decision-making including profiling in accordance with Article 22 DS-GVO.

When you visit our websites (www.sielhorst-it.de , ...), we log every access in the server's file system. The following data is recorded:

  • IP address used

  • Time at the time of access

  • Visited website

  • Message whether the retrieval was successful

  • Amount of data sent in bytes

  • Source/reference from which you reached the page

  • Browser used

  • Operating system used

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user's computer. For this purpose, the user's IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session. These purposes are also our legitimate interest in data processing according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DS-GVO.

Server log data and the IP address are retained and subsequently deleted, for example to protect the security of the website against attacks. The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DS-GVO.

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility for the user to object. We delete the data from the file system after 2 months and the backup copies of the data after a further 4 months.

The analysis of website visits is carried out on internal systems with the help of Matomo (https://matomo.org/matomo-on-premise/ formerly Piwik). The data is only processed anonymously and therefore not passed on to third parties.

Personal data is not collected or processed beyond the cases mentioned above, unless you expressly consent to further processing.

Our website may contain links to other websites.

We would like to point out that this data protection declaration applies exclusively to our website. We have no influence on and do not control that other providers comply with the applicable data protection regulations.
