Privacy Policy

Scope

This privacy policy is intended to inform the users of this website, in accordance with the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the German Telemedia Act (TMG), about the nature, scope and purpose of the collection and use of personal data by the website operator.

We take data protection very seriously and treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory provisions.

Access Data

The website operator collects data about access to the site and stores this as "server log files". The following data is logged in this way:

• Website visited
• Time of access
• Volume of data sent in bytes
• Source/reference from which you accessed the page
• Browser used
• Operating system used
• IP address used

The data collected is used solely for statistical analysis and to improve the website. However, we reserve the right to review the server log files retrospectively if there are concrete indications of unlawful use.

Handling of Personal Data

The website operator collects, uses and discloses your personal data only where this is permitted by law or where you consent to the collection of data.

Personal data is any information by which you can be identified and which can be traced back to you - for example, your name, your email address and your telephone number.

Handling of Contact Data

If you contact the operator of the website through one of the contact options offered, your details will be stored so that they can be used to process and respond to your enquiry. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your consent.

User Rights: Information, Correction and Deletion

As a user, you may request free information about what personal data is stored about you. Provided that no statutory retention obligations (e.g. data retention) preclude this, you have the right to have inaccurate data corrected and to have your personal data blocked or deleted.

Cookies and the Right to Object to Direct Marketing

"Cookies" are small files that are stored on users' computers. Various information can be stored in cookies. A cookie is used primarily to store information about a user (or the device on which the cookie is stored) during or after their visit to an online service. Temporary cookies, also referred to as "session cookies" or "transient cookies", are cookies that are deleted after a user leaves an online service and closes their browser. Such a cookie can store, for example, the contents of a shopping cart in an online shop or a login status. Cookies that remain stored even after the browser is closed are described as "permanent" or "persistent". For example, the login status can be stored if users visit it again after several days. Likewise, users' interests can be stored in such a cookie, which is used to measure reach or for marketing purposes. "Third-party cookies" are cookies offered by providers other than the controller who operates the online service (otherwise, if they are only the controller's cookies, they are referred to as "first-party cookies").

We may use temporary and permanent cookies, which we explain in our privacy policy.‍

If users do not want cookies to be stored on their computer, they are asked to disable the corresponding option in their browser's system settings. Stored cookies can be deleted in the browser's system settings. Disabling cookies may lead to functional limitations of this online service.

A general objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes can be declared for a large number of services, particularly in the case of tracking, via the US site http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU site http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. In addition, the storage of cookies can be prevented by disabling them in the browser settings. Please note that not all functions of this online service can then be used.

Liability for Content

As a service provider, we are responsible for our own content on these pages in accordance with Section 7 (1) of the German Telemedia Act (TMG) and general legislation. However, pursuant to Sections 8 to 10 TMG, we as a service provider are not obliged to monitor transmitted or stored third-party information or to investigate circumstances that indicate unlawful activity. Obligations to remove or block the use of information under general legislation remain unaffected by this. However, liability in this regard is only possible from the point in time at which we become aware of a specific infringement. Upon becoming aware of any such infringements, we will remove this content immediately.

Liability for Links

Our service may contain links to external third-party websites over whose content we have no influence. We can therefore accept no liability for this third-party content. The respective provider or operator of the pages is always responsible for the content of the linked pages. The linked pages were checked for possible legal infringements at the time the link was created. No unlawful content was identifiable at the time the link was created. However, permanent monitoring of the content of the linked pages is not reasonable without concrete indications of an infringement. Upon becoming aware of any infringements, we will remove such links immediately.

Copyright

The content and works created by the site operators on these pages are subject to German copyright law. The reproduction, editing, distribution and any kind of use beyond the limits of copyright law require the written consent of the respective author or creator. Downloads and copies of this page are permitted only for private, non-commercial use. Insofar as the content on this page was not created by the operator, the copyrights of third parties are respected. In particular, third-party content is marked as such. Should you nevertheless become aware of a copyright infringement, please notify us accordingly. Upon becoming aware of any infringements, we will remove such content immediately.
