This information (server log files) may include the type of web browser, the operating system being used, the domain name of the internet service provider, your IP address and similar general data.
This information is particularly processed for the following purposes:
We do not use your data to draw conclusions about your identity. This type of anonymous data can eventually be statistically evaluated in order to optimize our online presence and the underlying technology.
Legal basis and legitimate interest:
Data will be processed in accordance with art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, based on our legitimate interest to optimize the stability and the functionalities of our website.
If applicable, recipients of data are technical service providers who are charged to operate and maintain the website on behalf of the controller.

The data concerned shall be deleted when they are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were stored. Data used for the provision of the website will typically be deleted when the respective session is ended.
The provision of the abovementioned personal data is not required by law or by contract. However, the service and the functionality of our website might not be fully guaranteed without the IP address. Some services might only be partially available or not available at all. Therefore, any objection is ruled out.
Personal data that you submit online will be used and stored by us for the purpose of our individual communication with you. Therefore, your name and a valid e-mail address are necessary. This information serves to allocate your request and to provide you with an answer. Entering more data is optional.
Data submitted in the contact form will be processed based on a legitimate interest (GDPR, art. 6(1)(f)).
By offering a contact form, we strive to enable you to get in touch with us easily. The data you submit will be stored for the purpose of handling your inquiry and any subsequent questions.

If applicable, recipients of data are data processors on behalf of the controller.
Any personal data collected shall not be transferred to third countries.
The stored data shall be deleted no later than 6 months after processing the request.
If we enter into a contractual relationship, we are subject to legal storage periods according to Dutch law and will delete your data once this period has reached its term.
You provide us with your personal data on a voluntary basis. However, we can only treat your request if you submit us your name, e-mail address and the reason for your solicitation.
