When our website is accessed we collect so-called access data and store them in a protocol file (so-called logfile). These access data also include the IP address. In addition, the log file also stores the name of the website accessed, the file accessed, the date and time of the access, the data volume transmitted and notification of the successful access, the browser type and version, the operating system, the so-called referrer URL (the site visited previously) as well as the accessing provider.
In addition, when our website is accessed, so-called cookies are installed on your end device (laptop, tablet, smartphone or PC). Details about the cookies used on the website, their specific purpose and a description of how you can delete these cookies, can be found in the Cookie and opt-out advice.
The logfile data serve the evaluation of the system security and stability, as well as administrative purposes. With the help of the cookie ID, the user can be authenticated by our application when accessing multiple pages (login session).
The logfile data, including the IP address, serve merely the technical and design-related optimisation of the website and the security of our systems (e.g. in the context of an attack on our IT or a security incident). No personal connection can be established by us from the logfile data, including the IP address, when our website is accessed. This can only occur if you login simultaneously to our application. In this case, we can allocate your IP address directly. With the help of the cookie ID we learn, e.g. whether and to what extent you have already visited our website, whether you have already registered with us using a certain ID, and when you returned to it. Details and information on how you can delete cookies, can be found in the Cookie and opt-out advice.
We host our website with an external third party. We forward the collected data to this third party, including your IP address, which can be read by this service provider for technical reasons. If you have registered on our platform, it is possible for us to establish a personal connection, however this is not possible for our host.

The logfiles, including the IP address contained therein, shall be erased six (6) months after collection. More details on the cookies we use, the duration of their storage, and how you can delete these cookies, can be found in the Cookie and opt-out advice.
Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR
The provision of the aforementioned personal data is neither legally nor contractually prescribed. However, without the IP address and the cookie identification, the service and the functionality of our website cannot be guaranteed, and individual services may be restricted.
So-called tracking tools are used on the website, in which cookies are also used and the IP address processed. Tracking tools typically investigate where the visitor comes from, which areas of a website are sought and how often, and for how long which subpages and categories are looked at. By these means it can be established, e.g., which search terms and websites the user entered, in order to secure a needs-related design and continuous optimisation of our website.
The use of tracking tools thus serves to evaluate user behaviour, in order to be able to adapt the online offer to the interests of visitors and to learn how our services are used. We also use the tracking measures in order to record the use of our website statistically and for the purpose of optimising our offer for you.
The statistical evaluation of the user profiles allow us to derive information about the functioning and success of our websites, providing answers to questions such as how often information pages on certain product groups are accessed, or how many visitors clicked on certain offers. With the help of the tracking tools we can tailor our offer in a more targeted manner towards our customers, visitors and interested parties. Details about the provider, the function and information on how you can delete the cookies used and prevent tracking, can be found in the Cookie and opt-out advice.
The following providers of tracking tools process data on our behalf for the purpose of user analysis and statistical processing. For this purpose we have concluded the relevant order processing contracts. Further details on the technical functioning of the tools and information on how you can prevent data transmission (tracking), can be found in the Cookie and opt-out advice.

The login data entered by you into your “Picter” customer account are available to use for the duration of the contractual term and for the duration of the existence of your customer account with us, and shall be stored by us for this duration. All personal data related to your customer account, except commercial records (such as orders, invoices, quotations), will be deleted if you do so yourself with regard to individual data, or if you demand that we do so. We are obliged under statutory provision to retain commercial records for different retention periods. When the contract ends, when you or we terminate the contractual relationship, we shall erase your data (except commercial records) no later than seven (7) days after termination. However, if you deliberately shared your information with third parties on Picter (such as organisations hosting competitions), you entered a legal obligation with them and therefore you are required to directly contact them to delete the data you submitted to them.
