Applicability
This privacy policy is intended to inform users about the nature, content and purpose of the collection and use of personal data by the responsible provider Coolback on this website (hereinafter referred to as “Offer”).

Access data / server log files
The provider (or its web hosting provider) collects data on every access to the service (known as server log files). Access data includes:
• Name of the accessed webpage/file
• Date and time of access
• Transferred data volume
• Notification of successful access
• Version and type of the browser
• User’s operating system
• Referrer URL (the previously visited page)
• IP address and the requesting provider

The provider only uses the log data for statistical evaluations for the purpose of operation, security, and optimization of the service. However, the provider reserves the right to retrospectively review the log data if there are concrete indications of illegal use based on justified suspicion. Through the log files, we also gain insights into how our service is being used. For example, we learn which pages are particularly popular. The results of this analysis are ultimately presented in statistical form and are anonymous. We do not use IP addresses to identify users. We store IP addresses for a maximum period of fourteen days.
