Part 1 - Website and Contacting

a) When you visit our website

When we visit our website, for technical reasons and to show you the contents we will collect data, which the web browser transmits to the server of our website (e.g. date and time of access, name and URL of the accessed file, browser type and version, website from which the access is made (referrer URL)).

This also includes the IP address of your requesting end device. This is temporarily stored in a so-called log file and automatically deleted after 14 days, unless a security-relevant event occurs (e.g. a DDoS attack). In the event of a security-relevant event, we will store the log files until the security-relevant event has been eliminated and fully clarified. We cannot draw any direct conclusions about your identity from the processing of the IP address in the log file.

This data is encrypted during transport using SSL.

The legal basis of the processing is our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR). Our legitimate interest is the provision of the website accessed by you
and the security of our IT infrastructure.

As part of the processing, we transmit the data to the following recipients: Schwarz IT KG, Stiftsbergstraße 1, 74172 Neckarsulm (hosting provider).

b) When you contact us

When you communicate with us, we process data to answer your inquiry. This is usually the e-mail address and the IP address of the sender, as well as the content of the e-mail and any attachments, which may contain personal data.

We offer you the possibility to send us general inquiries via the contact form provided online. Here we collect the following mandatory information:

  • name (first and last name)
  • company
  • e-mail address
  • your personal message

We need your last name to know who the request is from. We need your e-mail address to be able to answer your request.

The personal data collected by us for the use of the contact form will be deleted as soon as your inquiry has been conclusively answered and the deletion does not conflict with any retention obligations.

The legal basis of the processing is our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR). Our legitimate interest is the processing of your contact request.

We offer a newsletter in which we inform you about the data available on the Honic platform and about research projects that Honic is conducting or supporting.

For this purpose, we collect the following information:
