- Browser type and browser version
- Operating system used
- Referrer URL
- Host name of the accessing computer
- Time of the server request
- IP address
This data will not be combined with data from other sources.
This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically correct display and optimization of its website; for this purpose, the server log files must be stored.
Some assets are loaded from an external CDN that creates log files independently of this website. This CDN is set up in such a way that no complete IP addresses are stored and logs are automatically deleted after 190 days.
Contact form
Should you send us questions via the contact form, we will collect the data entered on the form, including the contact details you provide, in order to answer your question and any follow-up questions. We do not share this data without your permission.
This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 letter b GDPR, insofar as your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the requests addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this was requested; the consent can be revoked at any time.
We will retain the data you provide on the contact form until such time as you request its deletion, revoke your consent for its storage, or the purpose for its storage no longer pertains (e.g. after fulfilling your request). Any mandatory statutory provisions, especially those regarding mandatory data retention periods, remain unaffected by this provision.
Inquiry by email, phone or fax
If you contact us by email, phone or fax, your request, including all ensuing personal data (name, nature of inquiry), is stored and processed by us for the purposes of processing your request. We do not share this data without your permission.
This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 letter b GDPR, insofar as your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of requests addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this was requested; consent can be revoked at any time.
We will retain the data you provide on the contact form until such time as you request its deletion, revoke your consent for its storage, or the purpose for its storage no longer pertains (e.g. after fulfilling your request). Any mandatory statutory provisions, especially those regarding mandatory data retention periods, remain unaffected.
Use of a content delivery network (CDN)
Our website uses a so-called Content Delivery Network (CDN) to provide certain front-end files such as JavaScript and CSS files efficiently and reliably. These files are loaded from an external server under the domain cdn.xvanced.com.
The CDN serves to optimize loading times and the stable technical provision of our website. When you access our pages, corresponding files are delivered directly from the CDN server to your browser.
Logging of IP addresses
When retrieving the content via the CDN, your IP address is processed for technical reasons. However, this is stored in anonymized form: the last two octets of the IP address are removed (e.g., 11.22.33.44 → 11.22.0.0). As a result, it is no longer possible to relate this data directly to a specific person.
The anonymized IP addresses are stored for a maximum of 190 days for security reasons (e.g. to detect and defend against attacks) and then automatically deleted. The data will not be passed on or used in any other way.
The use of the CDN is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the secure, efficient and stable delivery of the contents of our website and in the protection against potential attacks.
Newsletter
Newsletter data
If you would like to receive our newsletter, we require a valid email address as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and that you agree to receive this newsletter. No additional data is collected or will only be collected on a voluntary basis. We only use this data to send the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.
The processing of the data entered in the newsletter registration form takes place exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke consent to the storage of your data and email address as well as their use for sending the newsletter at any time, e.g. through the "unsubscribe" link in the newsletter. The data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed.
The data provided when registering for the newsletter will be used to distribute the newsletter until such time as you cancel your subscription, when said data will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list and from the servers of the newsletter service provider. We reserve the right to delete or block email addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our own discretion within the scope of our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
Data we have stored for other purposes shall remain unaffected by this.
After you have unsubscribed from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be saved in a blacklist with us or the newsletter service provider if this is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is used solely for this purpose and is not combined with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with the legal requirements for sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). The storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. You may object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interests.
Sending newsletters to existing customers
If you order goods or services from us and provide your e-mail address, this e-mail address can subsequently be used by us for sending newsletters, provided that we inform you of this in advance. In such a case, only direct advertising for our own similar goods or services will be sent via the newsletter. You can cancel the sending of this newsletter at any time. A link to do this can be found in every newsletter. The legal basis for sending the newsletter in this case is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR in conjunction with § 7 para. 3 UWG.
After you have unsubscribed from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be saved in a blacklist in order to prevent future mailings to you.
