The IT systems and software processes used to provide the website functions compile various personal data in the course of normal operation. These are then transmitted as part of the normal course of internet use (TCP/IP protocol).

They are not used to establish any association with the specific individuals to whom they relate. However, they are designed in such a way that it is generally possible to identify individual users by processing and combining this data with data from third parties.

This class of data includes IP addresses and domain names of the computer used by a user to navigate the website or the addresses of the requested resources (as URI, Uniform Resource Identifier), the time of the request, the method of submitting the request to the web server, the size of the downloaded file, numerical codes indicating the status of the response sent by the web server (successful, error, etc.) and other parameters of the user's operating system or IT environment. This data may only be used for anonymous statistical analysis of the use of the Cluster Dynamics Reply website and to ensure correct functioning in terms of optimizing functionality in relation to the services offered.

Please note that this data may also be used for investigations to identify individuals committing what are classified as computer crimes to harm the Cluster Dynamics Reply website or any linked website.

Processing methods and safety precautions

Personal data is processed using automated and non-automated procedures. Processing lasts only as long as is necessary to complete the task in question. Specific security measures have been taken to prevent loss, illicit or incorrect use and unauthorized access to the data.
