Use of WP Statistics

The data is not merged with other data sources or passed on to third parties.
The data collected is stored exclusively on our own web server. The data is processed solely for statistical purposes and to improve our online offering. The data collected enables us to better understand how our website is used and to optimize our offering accordingly. The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR from our overriding legitimate interest in a needs-based design and continuous optimization of our website.
