3. Hosting and delivery of the website
Our website is hosted by a service provider whose servers are located within the European Union. Processing serves our legitimate interest in providing a secure and reliable website (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). A data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR is in place with this provider.
4. Server log files
When you access the website, information transmitted by your browser is recorded automatically.

This data serves the technical operation and security of the website and is processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. It is deleted after a short period unless it is required to investigate security incidents.

When you request a demo through the form, we process the data you provide: name, university, work email address, and any message you add. We use this data solely to handle your request, to contact you, and to carry out the demo.
The legal basis is the performance of pre-contractual measures at your request (Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR) and our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).
