Notes on data protection and liability

1. Data Protection

The following information gives you an overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit our website. Personal data is all data with which you can be personally identified. For detailed information on data protection, please refer to our privacy policy below this text.

The protection of your personal data is very important to us. Your data is collected, processed and used exclusively in accordance with the applicable German and European data protection regulations.

You can usually visit our website without providing any personal data. However, if you voluntarily provide us with data – for example your name, email address or other contact information – this will only be used to process your enquiries.

When you access our website, the browser you use automatically sends information to the server. This is temporarily stored in a so-called log file. Without your intervention, we record the following information, which remains stored until it is automatically deleted:

  • IP-Addresse of the accessing device
  • Date and time of access
  • Name und URL of the retrieved file
  • Referrer-URL (the previously visited page)
  • Browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your computer
  • Name of your Internet service provider

 

If we use personal data for purposes that require your express consent, we will obtain this from you in advance. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.

Disclosure of data to third parties

Your personal data will only be passed on to third parties if:

  • You have given us your express consent,
  • the transfer is necessary to process your request or as part of order processing, or
  • we are obliged to do so due to legal regulations.

 

Personal data will only be passed on to third parties as part of order processing in accordance with § 62 BDSG-neu. Contracted companies are obliged to use the transmitted data exclusively to fulfill the commissioned tasks and not for other purposes.

2. Liability for Content

The contents of our pages have been created with the greatest care. However, we cannot guarantee that the contents are correct, complete or up-to-date.

As service providers, we are liable for own contents of these websites according to Sec. 7, paragraph 1 German Telemedia Act (TMG). However, according to Sec. 8 to 10 German Telemedia Act (TMG), service providers are not obligated to permanently monitor submitted or stored information or to search for evidences that indicate illegal activities.

Obligations to remove information or to block the use of information in accordance with general laws remain unaffected. However, liability is only possible at the time of knowledge about a specific violation of law. As soon as we become aware of such violations of law, we will remove this content immediately.

We reserve the right to make changes or additions to the information provided here at any time.

3. Liability for Links

Our website contains links to external third-party websites over whose content we have no influence. We therefore accept no liability for this external content. The respective provider or operator of the pages is solely responsible for the content of the linked pages.

The linked pages were checked for possible legal violations at the time of linking. Illegal content was not recognizable at the time of linking. However, permanent monitoring of the linked pages is not reasonable without concrete evidence of a legal violation. If we become aware of a legal violation, we will remove such links immediately.

4. copyright

The content and works published on this website are subject to German copyright law. The reproduction, processing, distribution or any type of use outside the legal limits requires the prior written consent of the operator.

Downloads and copies of this page are only permitted for private, non-commercial use. If content was not created by the operator, the copyrights of third parties are observed and marked accordingly. If you nevertheless discover a copyright infringement, please let us know. If we become aware of any violations of law, we will remove such content immediately.

How do we handle cookies?

In order to make using our website more pleasant for you and to expand the range of functions of our website, we use so-called cookies. These are small files that your browser automatically creates and stores on your device. These enable an analysis of the use of our website and help to recognize returning visitors as unique users.

The cookies stored can only be used by us. However, this does not mean that we thereby receive direct knowledge of your identity. Cookies themselves cannot access, read or change other data on your computer.

Most browsers accept cookies automatically. However, you can set your browser so that no cookies are stored or so that a warning appears before a new cookie is set. Please note that completely deactivating cookies may result in certain functions of our website being restricted or unusable.

Which analysis tools do we use?

The tracking technologies we use are based on the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and within the scope of our legitimate interests.

Purpose of data collection:

  • A needs-based design and continuous optimization of our website
  • The statistical recording of the use of our website
  • The improvement of our offers and services

The specific purposes of data processing and the data categories concerned can be seen from the respective tracking tools.

Use of social networks

If we offer links to external social networks on our website (e.g. via logos or “Like” buttons), these links establish a direct connection to the servers of the respective provider.

By clicking on such a link, personal data may be transmitted to the operator of the social network and processed there. The social network can usually assign your visit to our website to your user account and store the information on servers outside the EU.

As we have no influence on the data processing by the operators of social networks, we recommend that you contact the respective providers directly for information about their data protection guidelines.
