B) Collection, processing and use of general data and information
To visit our website reoss.eu, it is not necessary that you provide information about yourself. Our website is for informational purposes only.
By calling up Internet pages, your browser automatically transmits a series of general information and technical data. This also happens when you visit our website. The data are transmitted from your browser to our server and stored there in so-called log files. These include the type of browser used, the operating system, the website from which it was accessed (referrer), the date and time of access, the status code, the pages accessed, the amount of data transmitted by the server, and the IP address.
From the technical information we cannot draw conclusions about your person. The data and information are only required for technical reasons and are used to correctly deliver the contents of our website, to statistical evaluations regarding the security and stability of our systems, to ensure the long-term functioning and optimization of our systems and to detect cyberattacks, and to law enforcement agencies in the case of cyberattacks, to provide the information required for law enforcement.
The lawfulness of the processing of the automatically transmitted data is based on the first sentence of Article 6 Abs. 1 lit. f of the GDPR. Our legitimate interest results from the above mentioned processing purposes. Processing of the data for purposes other than those listed does not take place.

E) Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are automatically exchanged between your browser and our server and stored on your computer.

If the data is needed for evidence in the event of a cyberattack, it will be exempted from deletion until the completion of the legal process.
G) Security measures used
Numerous technical and organizational measures (TOM) have been implemented to protect your data. Despite all the security measures taken, however, data transmitted in particular via the Internet can fall into the wrong hands due to weaknesses in the browser used. For this reason, we cannot guarantee absolute security of the data.
H) Cooperation with contract processors
As part of server hosting, we work together with a German-based order processor (hosting service provider). This collaboration will provide server infrastructure and storage capacity as well as security and maintenance services. We have entered into a contract with the processor (Article 28 of the GDPR) (order processing contract).

We have no influence on whether the other providers collect data from you and how comprehensively you use them. In addition, we have no control over whether these providers comply with the privacy policy. For this reason, we can not assume any responsibility for any processing of your data by these providers and also give no guarantee for the security of any data collected and processed by these providers.
