The anonymous metrics are solely used to broadly understand visitor traffic and improve the usability of content via Cygnus 2.

Although only anonymous data is processed, we employ appropriate security measures. Page transmission is exclusively over encrypted connections (HTTPS). Access to evaluations is restricted to a few authorized persons and is logged. Data minimization, aggregation, and regular deletion or rotation of technical logs reduce the retention time of information. Backups and servers are operated according to common security standards, uncontrolled transfer to external service providers does not occur.
You can at any time request to know what indirect, technically caused information about your usage is available or request its removal. If identifiable, remaining entries in technical logs are deleted or anonymized. You can object to further analysis, we consider this in the framework of anonymous, identifier-free measurement, as far as technically possible. Inquiries are answered promptly, clearly, and free of charge.
