• Volume of data transferred
• Notification of whether the retrieval was successful
• IP address (in abbreviated form so that you are not identifiable)
• The web address from which the file was accessed (referrer URL)
• Information about the operating system and browser (user agent string)
• You remain completely anonymous to us when you visit our website. This anonymous data is evaluated for statistical puposes only.

Logging and evaluation in case of attacks

Error messages - which as a rule might be the result of attempted attacks — are recorded and evaluated with a complete IP address for security reasons. If no longer needed (for example, as evidence), this data will be deleted after seven days.

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 subpara. 1 letter f GDPR. Legitimate interests in processing on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 subpara. 1 letter f GDPR are to ensure the functionality and security of our website and to ward off attacks and other abuses.

Data Processing in connection with usage of the Demo

When you click the 'Annotate' button on our demo page the following happens: The text entered in the text area will be sent to our server. On our server, we annotate the text and return the analysis result to you. After returning the result to you, the text and its annotations will be kept in memory for an hour. This is done to increase the performance of annotation requests for the same text. We use the input text as cache key, so any personal information stored is only accessible if the input text is the same (and thus the personal information is already known beforehand). Nevertheless, we advise against inputting any personal data into this website.
