3.4.1 Our web server setting includes so-called logging, within the framework of which logs concerning errors and also requests for access upon any required loading of the website or different content are automatically recorded.

This standard procedure is necessary for the correct operation of the web server and therefore it concerns processing required by our legitimate interests (Art. 6, paragraph 1, point f) of the Regulation).

3.4.2 The purpose of the processing – logging of accesses to the web server, including IP addresses – is to ensure diagnostics and proper operation of the web server, removal of errors and detecting and eliminating possible attacks on the web server (such as DDoS attacks or attempts to detect the server vulnerability via robots). We partly anonymize IP addresses and evaluate full IP addresses only when dealing with the web server operation problems or a third-party attack.
