Who we are

Our website address is: https://competendo.net.


What personal data we collect and why we collect it

The owners don’t like tracking tools, but sometimes they look after how many visitors requested the website, what kind of articles are more requested than others, from where the users accessed our website. Single users are not interesting for us. This interest do we interprete as the in the European Privacy Regulation mentioned “legitimate interest” – concrete Art. 6 – EU-GDPR – Lawfulness of Processing.

Our provider Strato AG is providing us logfiles (which are standard in any webhosting). Log data is automatically saved by Strato AG when a visitor is accessing one of the site's HTML or image files. On the basis of this logfile we receive a statistical report in the format Apache Combined Log Format. It includes the following information:

  • Anonymized client-IP: In order to identify from where our server is accesses, we store IP addresses. Strato AG is storing them max 7 days. After this time they are going to be anonymized. From privacy reasons, we are only able to access them in an anonymized way.
  • Timestamp: Which day and time of access.
  • Request line: The path of the goal URL without domain. If a user is clicking on a picture, the URL stored will be for instance „competendo.net/image.jpg“.
  • Status code: Surely you know a 404 error page. 404 is a status code (the code for "page does not exist") The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority was publishing also many other status codes which are helpful for problem analysis. 200 for instance means "OK", the page was loaded without any problems.
  • Size of the response body: If a user is entering our website they are temporarily downloading data, for instance the texts and images they are seeing in their browser. The log file informs us, how big they were.
  • Referrer of the client, showing from where somebody came to competendo.net.
  • User agent, sent by the client: Information about the browser, browser version, operating sytem of the visitor.
  • Remote user: Usually this field is empty. Strato AG is storing information only, if somebody logged in our page based on http-basicauth. However, nowadays most websites are using another approach for authentification working with javascript (and in this case no remote user information is stored).

Some of the in the following mentioned aspects might be not relevant to you as we don’t use tracking or other analytical tools. But you never know if not thanks to plugins or content from other parties strange things happen. We herewith explain that we try to use only such plugins conform with data security standards.
