Use of Cloudflare
We use Cloudflare from Cloudflare, Inc. (1 01 Townsend St., San Francisco, CA 941 07, USA) on this website to make our website faster and more secure. Cloudflare uses cookies and processes user data. Cloudflare, Inc. is an American company that offers a content delivery network and various security services. These services are located between the user and our hosting provider. We will try to explain what all this means in more detail below. A content delivery network (CDN), as provided by Cloudflare, is nothing more than a network of connected servers. Cloudflare has distributed such servers all over the world to bring websites to your screen more quickly. Put simply, Cloudflare creates copies of our website and places them on its own servers. When you visit our website now, a load balancing system ensures that the largest parts of our website are delivered by the server that can show you our website the fastest. The distance of data transfer to your browser is significantly shortened by a CDN. This means that the content of our website is delivered to you by Cloudflare not only from our hosting server, but from servers all over the world. The use of Cloudflare is particularly helpful for users from abroad, as the page can be delivered from a server nearby. In addition to the fast delivery of websites, Cloudflare also offers various security services, such as DDoS protection or the web application firewall.
1) Why do we use Cloudflare on our website?
Of course, we want to offer you the best possible service with our website. Cloudflare helps us to make our website faster and more secure. Cloudflare offers us both web optimization and security services, such as DDoS protection and web firewall. This also includes a reverse proxy and the content distribution network (CDN). Cloudflare blocks threats and limits abusive bots and crawlers that waste our bandwidth and server resources. By storing our website on local data centers and blocking spam software, Cloudflare is able to reduce our bandwidth usage by about 60%. Serving content from a data center near you and performing some web optimizations there reduces the average load time of a website by about half. By setting “m Under Attack Mode,” Cloudflare says it can mitigate further attacks by displaying a JavaScript math problem that must be solved before a user can access a web page. Overall, this makes our website much more performant and less vulnerable to spam or other attacks.
2) What data does Cloudflare process?
Cloudflare generally only forwards data that is controlled by website operators. The content is therefore not determined by Cloudflare, but always by the website operator themselves. Cloudflare may also collect certain information about the use of our website and process data that we send or for which Cloudflare has received appropriate instructions. In most cases, Cloudflare receives data such as IP address, contact and log information, security fingerprints and performance data for websites. Log data helps Cloudflare, for example, to identify new threats. This enables Cloudflare to ensure a high level of security for our website. Cloudflare processes this data as part of the services in compliance with applicable laws. This of course also includes the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Cloudflare also works with third parties. They may only process personal data under the instructions of Cloudflare and in accordance with the data protection guidelines and other confidentiality and security measures. Cloudflare does not pass on any personal data without our explicit consent.
3) How long and where is the data stored?
Cloudflare stores your information primarily in the United States and the European Economic Area. Cloudflare may transfer and access the information described above from anywhere in the world. In general, Cloudflare stores user-level data for Free, Pro, and Business domains for less than 24 hours. For Enterprise domains that have Cloudflare Logs (formerly Enterprise LogShare or ELS) enabled, the data can be stored for up to 7 days. However, if IP addresses trigger security alerts at Cloudflare, there may be exceptions to the storage period listed above.
4) How can I delete my data or prevent data storage?
Cloudflare only stores data logs for as long as necessary, and in most cases this data is deleted within 24 hours. Cloudflare also does not store any personally identifiable information, such as your IP address. However, there is information that Cloudflare stores indefinitely as part of its permanent logs in order to improve the overall performance of Cloudflare Resolver and identify any security risks. You can find out exactly which permanent logs are stored at https://www.cloudflare.corn/application/privacypolcy/. All data that Cloudflare collects (temporary or permanent) is cleaned of all personal data. All permanent logs are also anonymized by Cloudflare. Cloudflare states in its privacy policy that they are not responsible for the content they receive. For example, if you ask Cloudflare whether they can update or delete your content, Cloudflare always refers to us as the website operator. You can also completely prevent all collection and processing of your data by Cloudflare by deactivating the execution of script code in your browser or integrating a script blocker into your browser.
5) Rechtsgrundlage
Wenn Sie eingewilligt haben, dass Cloudflare eingesetzt werden darf, ist die Rechtsgrundlage der entsprechenden Datenverarbeitung diese Einwilligung. Diese Einwilligung stellt laut Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a DSGVO (Einwilligung) die Rechtsgrundlage für die Verarbeitung personenbezogener Daten, wie sie bei der Erfassung durch Cloudflare vorkommen kann, dar. Von unserer Seite besteht zudem ein berechtigtes Interesse, Cloudflare zu verwenden, um unser Online-Service zu optimieren und sicherer zu machen. Die dafür entsprechende Rechtsgrundlage ist Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f DSGVO (Berechtigte Interessen). Wir setzen Cloudflare gleichwohl nur ein, soweit Sie eine Einwilligung erteilt haben. Cloudflare verarbeitet Daten u.a. auch in den USA. Wir weisen darauf hin, dass nach Meinung des Europäischen Gerichtshofs derzeit kein angemessenes Schutzniveau für den Datentransfer in die USA besteht. Dies kann mit verschiedenen Risiken für die Rechtmäßigkeit und Sicherheit der Datenverarbeitung einhergehen. Als Grundlage der Datenverarbeitung bei Empfängern mit Sitz in Drittstaaten (außerhalb der Europäischen Union, Island, Liechtenstein, Norwegen, also insbesondere in den USA) oder einer Datenweitergabe dorthin verwendet Cloudflare von der EU-Kommission genehmigte Standardvertragsklauseln (= Art. 46. Abs. 2 und 3 DSGVO). Diese Klauseln verpflichten Cloudflare, das EU-Datenschutzniveau bei der Verarbeitung relevanter Daten auch außerhalb der EU einzuhalten. Diese Klauseln basieren auf einem Durchführungsbeschluss der EU-Kommission. Sie finden den Beschluss sowie die Klauseln u.a. hier: https://germany.representation.ec.europa.eu/index-de.
