This data is required to make the website technically available, ensure its security, and detect and prevent errors or misuse.
The processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The legitimate interest lies in providing the website securely, reliably, and in a fully functional manner.
The processing of IP addresses by the hosting provider may be technically necessary. WordPress.com expressly states that IP addresses may be processed, among other things, in connection with accessing content and in technical log data.
