LOG FILES

Upon each visit of our website, your browser automatically sends information to the servers of our website, which is temporarily stored in a so-called log file. The following data is recorded without any action on your part and stored until deleted via an automated process:

IP address of the computer issuing the request,
date and time of access,
name and URL of the file(s) accessed/retrieved,

Collecting and processing of this data takes place to make the use of our website possible (for establishing a connection), to ensure continuous system security and stability, to allow for technical administration of our network infrastructure and optimization of our website, as well as for internal statistics use. The IP address is only used for statistical purposes, and may be used in the event of an attack on our network infrastructure. This does not allow any inference to your person. It takes place under consideration and within the scope of the weighing the legitimate interests of HDI against your individual rights and freedoms under applicable law.
