3. Web Hosting and Server Log Files

This website is hosted on servers of IONOS SE (Elgendorfer Str. 57, 56410 Montabaur, Germany). When you visit our website, IONOS records various log files, including your IP address.

For details, please refer to the Privacy Policy of IONOS: https://www.ionos.de/terms-gtc/terms-privacy.

We have entered into a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR with IONOS. This ensures that the service provider processes the data of our website visitors strictly in accordance with our instructions and in full compliance with the GDPR.

Collection of Server Log Files

When you access this website, the IONOS web server automatically collects technical information transmitted by your browser (so-called server log files):

  • IP address of the requesting computer (standardly anonymized by IONOS to protect privacy)
  • Date and time of access
  • Name and URL of the retrieved page or file
  • Transferred data volume and HTTP status code
  • Browser type, version, and operating system used
  • Referrer URL (the previously visited page)

Legal basis: Processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interest in the technically flawless provision, stability, and security of our systems (in particular, the detection and defense against cyberattacks). This data is not merged with other data sources.

Retention period: For the purpose of detecting and defending against attacks, server log files are retained by IONOS for a maximum of 9 weeks and subsequently deleted automatically.

4. Contact by E-Mail or Phone

If you contact us by e-mail or telephone, your details, including the contact details you provide (such as your name, telephone number, e-mail address, and the content of your inquiry), will be processed and stored by us for the purpose of handling your request and in case of follow-up questions. We will never share this data with third parties without your explicit consent.

Legal basis: The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR if your request is related to the performance of a contract or necessary for the execution of pre-contractual measures (e.g., product and pricing inquiries for sweet cherry varieties, rootstocks, or strawberry plants). In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective and diligent handling of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR).

Retention period: The data transmitted by you will remain with us until the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after completion of your request) or you request us to delete it. Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular tax and commercial retention periods – remain unaffected.

5. Data Security & SSL/TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, this website uses modern SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in the address bar of your browser from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser bar. With encryption enabled, data transmitted to us cannot be intercepted by unauthorized third parties.
