Privacy Policy
Through the following privacy policy we provide you with information about personal data we collect when you visit our website www.thrill-project.eu, use our online services, and how we utilise your data.
Collection of general data and information (log files)
The webserver of our website collects a variety of general data and information every time you visit the website. These general data and information are stored on the server in log files. The following information can be collected:
• user browser types and versions;
• operating system of the requesting system;
• webpage from which a requesting system accesses our webpage (referrer);
• subordinate webpages on our website that are accessed by a requesting system;
• date and time the webpage is requested;
• IP address of the requesting system;
• internet service provider of the requesting system;
• other similar data and information that are used in the event of an attack on our information technology systems.
The use of this general data and information does not enable us to trace the data back to you. The information is needed to ensure proper working of the contents of our website and ensure the continued functioning of our information technology systems and the technology of our website. IP addresses are stored for 14 days to detect and prevent attacks on the infrastructure. After that time the IP addresses are automatically deleted.
We analyse this anonymously collected data and information for statistical purposes. The anonymous data in the server log files are stored separately from any personal data provided. The log files are deleted at the end each browser session and at the latest after seven days, unless their further storage is required for the above purposes.

Use of the Matomo website analysis tool: Purpose and Scope of Data Processing
We use the open source software tool Matomo (formerly PIWIK, https://www.matomo.org), a service of the provider InnoCraft Ltd, 150 Willis St, 6011 Wellington, New Zealand, (“Matomo”)) to analyze surfing behavior on some web pages. This enables us to learn how the website is used and to constantly improve our website and content. We have configured Matomo in a way that no Coolies are stored in your browser.If individual pages — including sub-pages — on our website are accessed, the following data is stored anonymously:
* Two bytes of the IP address of the accessing system (user’s system)
* The website from which the user accessed the website (referrer)
* The sub-pages that are accessed on the website
* The length of time spent on the website
* The frequency of visits to the website
* Information on operating system, browser type, screen resolution
The Matomo software is set so that IP addresses are not stored in full, but 2 bytes of the IP address are masked. This prevents the unique assignment of the IP address to the accessing computer. This means that your IP address is always anonymized even before it is evaluated. The software runs exclusively on our servers. The data is only stored on locally.
The data is not disclosed to third parties. More information about Matomo is available at https://matomo.org/docs/privacy-how-to/.
The Matomo privacy policy is available at https://matomo.org/privacy-policy/.
