General Data Protection Notice

When you access freedive-thurgau's website or download data from these pages, information about this is stored and processed in a log file. This process is anonymised. It is not possible to draw conclusions about you personally.

The following are stored: your IP address, the date and time of the page access, the page accessed or the name of the file accessed, the amount of data transmitted and the message whether the access/retrieval was successful.
