We store this data in order to improve the security of our website, in particular to prevent any attempt to attack our web server. Your IP address is deleted after a maximum period of seven days, once it is no longer required to ensure the security of the Website.
We do not collect any sensitive data about you (e.g. your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, health information, genetic or biometric data). We also do not collect information on criminal convictions and offences.
In connection with the operation of our website, we may work with third parties (“Merz Aesthetics Contractor”) to provide services to us.
