As a rule, we process personal data only as far as it is necessary in order to provide a functional website as well as our content and services. We process our users’ personal data only with their consent or if processing is permitted by law.

Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Provided we have the user’s consent to process their personal data, Art. 6 Subsection 1 Lit. a of the GDPR is the legal basis for the processing.

When the processing of personal data is necessary for carrying out a task in the public interest or for exercising official authority, Art. 6 Subsection 1 Lit. e of the GDPR is the legal basis.

The subject’s personal data will be deleted or locked once the purpose for which they were collected and stored ceases to apply.

Description and extent of data processing

Every time a user accesses our website, our system automatically collects data in the form of a log file. The following data are collected and stored until they are automatically deleted:

  • the user’s IP address;
  • the date and time of access;
  • the name, URL, and transferred amount of data of the accessed file;
  • the access status (file transmitted, file not found, etc.);
  • information on the user’s browser type and operating system.

The purpose of data processing

Processing the collected data occurs in order to guarantee the use of our website (connection establishment), system security, and the technical administration of the network infrastructure as well as to optimize our website (error analysis). IP addresses are evaluated only in case the Easy-Plain-Accessible network infrastructure is being or has been attacked.

Storage period

The data will be deleted once the purpose for which they were collected and stored ceases to apply. The data collected for accessing and using the website will be deleted when the respective session has ended. IP addresses are stored for 7 days for identification purposes in case of a cyber attack. If attacks and malfunctions are pursued beyond that period, the data resulting from the access will be stored until the relevant procedure is completed.

Right to object and deletion of data

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, the user has no option to object.
