The following information is thereby recorded without your involvement and is stored until its automatic deletion:

• the IP address of the visiting computer
• the date and time of access
• the name and URL of the file called up
• the website from which the access took place (referrer URL)
• the browser used and, sometimes, the operating system of your computer and the name of your access provider.

You have the right to information, correction, deletion and limitation, data transferability and objection to the processing of the personal data relating to you.

In the event that you have consented to the processing of your personal data by us, you have the right to revocation of your consent. Any processing that has already taken place at the time of your revocation remains unaffected by the revocation. In the event of revocation of your declaration of consent, please contact the works data protection officer under d.braukmann@hanseatic-group.com.

Moreover, you have a right to complain to a data-protection authority. In cases of questions or complaints, however, we ask you to first contact our works data protection officer under d.braukmann@hanseatic-group.com.
