• Legitimate Interests – This is where we rely on our interests as a reason for processing, generally this is to provide you with the best products and service in the most secure and appropriate way. Of course, before relying on any of those legitimate interests we balance them against your interests and make sure they are compelling enough and will not cause any unwarranted harm.

Data we collect automatically

Log data

Even if you do not log in or register on our website, but simply browse our website, data is collected and stored and processed by us. Specifically, this requires the IP address of your computer, Date and time of access, Name and URL of the accessed file, Browser used, Number of bytes transferred, Status of the page retrieval, Session ID, Referrer URL.

Hosting

To provide our website, we use the services of HOSTINGER operations, UAB, who process all data to be processed in connection with the operation of our website on our behalf. The legal basis for the data processing is our legitimate interest in providing our website.

Content Management System

We also use the Content Management System of WordPress by Automattic to publish and maintain the created and edited content and texts on our website. This means that all content and texts submitted to us is transferred to WordPress. This represents a legitimate interest.

Provision of the Shop

We also use the shop system of WooCommerce by Automattic. All data collected in our shop is processed on Automattic`s global servers. The legal basis for the data processing is our legitimate interest in providing our shop.

Content Delivery Network

We also use a Content Delivery Network (CDN) to distribute our online content. Our CDN is a network of regionally distributed servers operated by our technical service providers that are interconnected via the Internet. When you visit our website, your device’s browser transmits information to these service providers, which is collected in corresponding server log files. The server log files are usually anonymized and then transmitted without personal reference. The server log files include in particular i) information on the browser and operating system used, ii) the previously visited pages (so-called referral URL), iii) the IP address of the device used, iv) the name of the Internet provider, and v) the date, time of all page views including the amount of data transferred. The legal basis for the processing is our legitimate interest.

Google Tag Manager

We use Google Tag Manager by Google LLC which allows website tags to be managed via an interface. The Google Tag Manager only implements tags. No cookies are set, and no Personal Data is collected. Google Tag Manager triggers other tags that may collect data but does not itself access this data. The legal basis for using Google Tag Manager is our legitimate interest.

Google Fonts

We integrate the fonts of the provider Google LLC, whereby the user’s data is used solely for the purpose of displaying the fonts in the user’s browser. The integration is based on my legitimate interest in a technically secure, maintenance-free and efficient use of fonts, their uniform display and taking into account possible licensing restrictions for their integration. The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest.

YouTube Videos

We have integrated components from YouTube. The integration requires that YouTube can perceive the IP address of the user. The IP address is required in order to send the video content to the user’s browser. If you click on a YouTube component (video) on our website, your internet browser will be prompted by the component to download a corresponding representation of the component. In this way, YouTube knows which specific sub-pages you have visited. The legal basis for the data processing is our legitimate interest and your consent.

Jetpack

We have integrated Jetpack by Automattic on our website. Jetpack is a WordPress plug-in that offers additional functions to the operator of a website built on WordPress. Among other things, Jetpack allows the website operator to keep track of visitors to the site. By displaying related posts and publications or the possibility to share content on the page, it is also possible to increase the number of visitors. In addition, security functions are integrated into Jetpack so that a website using Jetpack is better protected against brute force attacks. Jetpack also optimizes and speeds up the loading of images integrated on the website.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics provided by Google LLC, on our website. Google Analytics uses cookies to enable our website to analyze how users use our website across multiple devices. The information generated by the cookies about your use of our website is transmitted to and stored by Google, including transmission to the United States. The following data is processed through the use of Google Analytics: a) 3 bytes of the IP address of the called system of the website visitor (anonymized IP address), b) the website called up, c) the website from which the user reached the accessed page of my website (referrer), d) the subpages accessed from the website, e) the time spent on the website, and f) the frequency with which the website is accessed. Google states that it will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. You can disable tracking by Google Analytics with future effect by downloading and installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on for your current web browser following this link http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

LiteSpeed Cache

Cache files expire on a schedule set by the site administrator, but may easily be purged by the admin before their natural expiration, if necessary.
