- Other administrative purposes.
The processing of your personal data is based on our legitimate interest with respect to the aforementioned purposes of data collection. We do not use your data to draw conclusions about you personally. The recipients of the data are only the responsible entity and, if applicable, the commissioned data processor.
Anonymous information of this kind may be statistically evaluated by us in order to optimise our Internet presence and the underlying technology.
