Data logs
When you visit my website or use services, the device you use to access the page automatically transmits log data (connection data) to my server at hetzner.com. My provider only uses German servers to store my website and operates it in accordance with the EU-DSGVO. The following data is collected from website visitors, which is anonymised directly during collection: Referrer (previously visited website); requested website or file; browser type and version; operating system used; device type used; time of access; IP address in anonymised form. Instead of the actual IP address of the visitor, e.g. <123.123.123.123> an IP address like <123.123.123.XXX> is stored, with XXX being a random value between 1 and 254. It is no longer possible to establish a personal reference.
For what purpose are the data collected?
The data are collected by hetzner.com for legitimate reasons, in order to guarantee the security and stability of the website and to provide website visitors with the highest possible level of quality. To this end, hetzner.com processes log data using WebAnalytics. In order to protect personal data, no cookies are used. The data are collected exclusively for statistical evaluation and for the technical optimisation of the website.
How long are the visitor data stored?
The data are stored for 8 weeks.
Are visitor data passed on to third parties?
No, your data will not be passed on to third parties.
Is there a transfer of visitor data to third countries outside the EU?
