This website is hosted by Hetzner Online GmbH (Industriestr. 25, 91710 Gunzenhausen, Germany) in a data centre in Germany. We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR.
When you visit the website, the server automatically stores:

The purpose is secure and stable operation. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We delete the log files after 7 days.
