Data Protection Declaration

Fundamentals

The operator of this website responsible for the content, hereinafter referred to as the "website provider", and the contact details for them are stated in the legal notice. This privacy policy is intended to inform users of this website about the type, scope and purpose of the collection and use of personal data by the website provider. The website provider takes your data protection very seriously and treats your personal data confidentially and in accordance with legal regulations. As new technologies and the constant further development of this website may result in changes to this data protection declaration, we recommend that you read the data protection declaration again at regular intervals. Definitions of the terms used (e.g. 'personal data' or 'processing') can be found in Art. 4 GDPR.

Access data

The website provider collects data about access to the website on the basis of its legitimate interest (see Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR) and stores these as 'server log files' on the website server. The following data is logged: Website visited, time at the time of access, amount of data sent in bytes, source/reference from which you accessed the page, browser used, operating system used, IP address used. The server log files are stored for a maximum of 12 months and then deleted. The data is stored for security reasons, e.g. to be able to clarify cases of misuse. If data has to be retained for reasons of proof, it is excluded from deletion until the incident has been finally clarified.

Cookies

This website uses cookies. Cookies are small files that are stored on your end device. Your browser accesses these files. The use of cookies increases the user-friendliness and security of this website. Common browsers offer the setting option of not allowing cookies.

Collection and processing of personal data

The website provider only collects, uses and passes on your personal data if this is permitted by law or if you consent to the collection of data. Personal data is all information that can be used to identify you personally and that can be traced back to you - for example, your name, your email address, your telephone number or your IP address.

How to deal with contact data

If you contact us as the website provider via the contact options offered, your details will be stored exclusively for the purpose of processing and responding to your inquiry. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your consent.

Google Analytics

This website uses the "Google Analytics" service provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) to analyze website usage by users. The service uses "cookies" - text files that are stored on your end device. The information collected by the cookies is usually sent to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
IP anonymization is used on this website. The IP address of users is truncated within the member states of the EU and the European Economic Area. This shortening eliminates the personal reference of your IP address. As part of the contract data agreement that the website operators have concluded with Google Inc., Google Inc. uses the information collected to compile an analysis of website usage and website activity and provides services related to internet usage.
You have the option of preventing cookies from being stored on your device by making the appropriate settings in your browser. There is no guarantee that you will be able to access all functions of this website without restrictions if your browser does not allow cookies.
You can also use a browser plugin to prevent the information collected by cookies (including your IP address) from being sent to Google Inc. and used by Google Inc. The following link will take you to the corresponding plugin: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

Rights of the user

As a user, you have the right to request free information about what personal data has been stored about you. You also have the right to have incorrect data corrected and to have the processing of your personal data restricted or deleted. If applicable, you can also assert your right to data portability. If you believe that your data has been processed unlawfully, you can lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.

Deletion of data

Unless your request conflicts with a legal obligation to retain data (e.g. data retention), you have the right to have your data erased. Data stored by us will be deleted if it is no longer required for its intended purpose and there are no statutory retention periods. If deletion cannot be carried out because the data is required for permissible legal purposes, data processing will be restricted. In this case, the data will be blocked and not processed for other purposes.

Right to object

Users of this website can exercise their right to object and object to the processing of their personal data at any time. If you would like a correction, blocking, deletion or information about the personal data stored about you or have questions regarding the collection, processing or use of your personal data or would like to revoke your consent, please contact the site provider named in the imprint.

Disclaimer

In the case of direct or indirect references to external websites that lie outside the author's area of responsibility, a liability obligation would only come into force in the event that the site provider is aware of the content and it would be technically possible and reasonable for him to prevent use in the event of illegal content. The site provider hereby expressly declares that at the time the links were created, no illegal content was recognizable on the linked pages. The site provider has no influence whatsoever on the current and future design, content or authorship of the linked pages. Therefore, the site provider hereby expressly distances itself from all contents of all linked pages that were changed after the link was created. This statement applies to all links and references set within the own Internet offer as well as to external entries in guest books, discussion forums, link directories, mailing lists and in all other forms of databases set up by the site provider to whose content external write access is possible. Liability for illegal, incorrect or incomplete content and in particular for damages resulting from the use or non-use of such information lies solely with the provider of the page to which reference is made, and not with the party who merely refers to the respective publication via links. Upon notification, the link to the corresponding server will of course be removed.
