The server log files are stored for a maximum of 7 days and are then deleted. The data is stored for security reasons, e.g., to be able to clarify cases of abuse. If data must be kept for reasons of proof, they are excluded from deletion until the incident has been finally clarified.
The legal basis for data processing is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter f GDPR.
