On the Internet, every device needs a unique address, the so-called IP address, to transmit data. The at least short-term storage of the IP address is technically necessary due to the way the Internet works. The IP addresses are shortened before any processing and only processed further anonymously. The unabridged IP addresses are not stored or processed.

A so-called geolocation, i.e. the assignment of a website access to the location of the access, is carried out exclusively on the basis of the anonymized IP address and only up to the geographical level of the federal states/regions. Under no circumstances can any conclusions be drawn about the specific place of residence of a user from the geographical information obtained in this way.
1.3 Identification number of the device
In order to recognize computer systems, the range measurement alternatively uses either a cookie with the identifier “ioam.de”, a “local storage object” or an anonymous signature, which is created from various automatically transmitted information from your browser. The validity of the cookie is limited to a maximum of 1 year.
1.4 Login ID
To measure distributed usage (use of a service from different devices), the user ID upon login, if available, can be transmitted to INFOnline as an anonymized checksum.

The stored usage processes will be deleted after 7 months at the latest.
