Access Logs ("Server Logs")
With each access to this recruiting page, general log data, also known as server logs, is automatically recorded. These data are generally pseudonymous and do not allow conclusions to be drawn about a natural person. Without these data, it would not be technically possible to deliver and display the content of the software. Furthermore, the processing of this data is necessary for security reasons, especially for access control, input and transfer control, and storage control. In addition, the anonymous information can be used for statistical purposes and for optimizing the offer and technology. Additionally, the log files can be inspected and evaluated retrospectively in case of suspicion of unlawful use of the software. The legal basis for this is §25 (2) sentence 2 TTDSG. Generally, data such as the domain name of the website, the web browser and its version, the operating system, the IP address, and the timestamp of the access to the software are collected. The extent of this logging does not go beyond the common scope of any other website on the internet. The retention period for these access logs is up to 7 days. There is no right to object.
Error Logs ("Error-Logs")
For the purpose of error identification and correction, so-called error logs ("Error-Logs") are created. This is necessary in order to react promptly to possible problems with the presentation and implementation of content (legitimate interest). These data are generally pseudonymous and do not allow conclusions to be drawn about a natural person. The legal basis for this is §25 (2) sentence 2 TTDSG. In case of an error message, general data such as the domain name of the website, the web browser and its version, the operating system, the IP address, and the timestamp of the occurrence of the corresponding error message/specification are recorded.
