3. Data Collection on Our Website (Server Log Files) When you visit our website, our web server software (Nginx) automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

  • Browser type and browser version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL (the previously visited page)
  • Hostname of the accessing computer
  • Time of the server request

4. IT Security and Threat Prevention (CrowdSec) To protect our infrastructure, our website, and the data of our clients from cyberattacks (such as DDoS, brute-force attacks, and malicious bots), we utilize the security software CrowdSec.

  • Functionality: CrowdSec analyzes incoming web traffic in real-time, including your IP address and request patterns. If an IP address exhibits malicious behavior, it is temporarily blocked by our firewall.
  • Data Sharing: To improve global threat intelligence, anonymized security signals (timestamp, attack scenario, and the aggressive IP address) may be shared with the CrowdSec network. Legitimate, non-aggressive traffic is not shared.
  • Legal Basis: The use of CrowdSec is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. As a hosting provider, we have a vital legitimate interest in ensuring the highest level of security for our infrastructure and protecting it against cybercrime.
