Data processing by visiting our website

You can visit our website www.360obp.eu without providing any personal information. Whenever a web page is called up, the web server automatically stores access data in so-called server log files which are automatically communicated by your browser. This may include data such as the date and time of the retrieval, the name of the requested file, the last visited website, the browser used, the amount of data transmitted, your IP address, the requesting provider etc.

Within the processing procedure, a third-party provider provides the services for hosting and displaying the website. This service provider is located within a country in the European Union or the European Economic Area.

For the purpose of a shorter loading time of our online presence, we also use a so-called Content Delivery Network ("CDN"), in which the website is delivered via the web server of a CDN provider working for us within the scope of order processing. This way access data is also collected on the web servers of the provider.

We collect the data listed in order to ensure a smooth connection of the website and to allow users to conveniently use our website. In addition, the log file serves the evaluation of system security and stability as well as administrative purposes. The legal basis for the temporary storage of data or log files is Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. The use of a CDN provider, as well as the procedure described here, serves to safeguard our legitimate interests, which are predominant in the context of a weighing up of interests in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR regarding the correct representation of website.

For reasons of technical security, in particular to ward off attacks on our web server, this data is stored by us for a short time. Based on these data, we cannot draw any conclusions about individual persons. After seven days at the latest, the data is anonymised by shortening the IP address at domain level, so that it is no longer possible to relate to the individual user.

Such anonymized data may also be processed for statistical purposes. Neither do we store such data together with other personal data of the user nor do we compare such with other databases.
