Liability Exclusion

Liability for content
We generate the content of our pages with great care and consideration. However, we cannot accept any liability for the accuracy, completeness and currency of their contents. As service providers we are, in accord with § 7 para.1 TMG [German Telemedia Act] responsible for our own content on these pages according to general laws. According to §§ 8 to 10 TMG, however, we as service providers are not obligated to monitor transmitted or saved external information or research circumstances that are indicative of an illegal activity. Obligations to remove or block the user of information under the general terms of the law remain unaffected by this restriction. Any liability in this respect is only possible starting from the date and time that we were made aware of a concrete violation of the law. Once we are made aware of such violations of the law, we will immediately remove these contents.

Liability for Links
Our content contains links to external webpages of third parties on whose content we have no influence. For this reason we cannot accept any liability for these external contents. The particular service provider is responsible in every case for the contents of linked pages. The linked pages were checked for possible violations of the law at the time the links were set. No illegal contents were detected at the time the links were set. However, it is not reasonable to constantly monitor the content of linked pages without concrete evidence of a violation of the law. On becoming aware of any violations of the law, we will immediately remove any such links.

Copyright
The content and works created by the page operators on these pages are subject to German copyright law. The reproduction, processing, editing and any type of commercial use outside of the limits of copyright law requires the written consent of the particular author and/or creator. Downloads and copies of these pages are only permitted for private, non-commercial use. To the extent that content on this page was not created by the operator, the copyright laws of third parties were observed. Specifically, third-party content is acknowledged as such. Should you become aware of a copyright infringement in spite of this, we request that you notify us. On becoming aware of violations of the law we will immediately remove content of that kind.

Data Protection
As a rule, it is possible to use our website without entering personal data. To the extent that personal data are collected on our pages (e.g. name, address or e-mail address), this is only done, to the extent possible, on a voluntary basis. These data are not shared with third parties without your expressed consent.

We remind you that data transfer in the internet (e.g. when communicating via e-mail) can be subject to security breaches. Completely secure data protection against third-party access is simply not possible.

The use of contact data published in the context of our duty to provide publisher’s information by third-parties for the purpose of sending advertising and informational materials that are not expressly requested is herewith expressly prohibited. The operators of these pages expressly reserve legal actions in the course of unsolicited sending of advertising information, e.g. by means of spam-mail.

Cookies
The European Directive 2009/136/EC (E-Privacy) regulates the use of cookies. By continuing to browse this website you are consenting to our use of cookies. For more information click here.

What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are saved on your computer when you visit certain websites. We use cookies for this website and sub-domains, asking the user to provide consent where required by law or applicable regulations, to facilitate navigation and personalize the information addressed to the user. We also use analogous systems to collect user information, such as IP address, browser and operating system used and/or websites visited by a user for security and statistical purposes.

If you decide to disable or refuse cookies, some parts of the website and associated sub-domains may not be accessible or may not function properly. In order to ensure complete, problem-free use of this website, you should set up your browser to accept these cookies. The cookies are not risky for your computer, tablet or smartphone. The cookies generated by this website do not contain personal information that can be used to identify the user but only encrypted data.

This website and associated sub-domains use the following types of cookies

Navigation cookies
These cookies make it possible to navigate the website and utilize its functionalities. Without the cookies, these functionalities may be inaccessible or not perform properly. The strictly necessary cookies are used to store an identifier so that we can unambiguously identify each user and provide a consistent and precisely targeted service.

These cookies may be our own or from one of our partners, they may be session cookies or persistent cookies. Their use is limited to website performance and improvement. These cookies do not collect information that can be used to identify the user. All information collected by means of these cookies is aggregated in an anonymous form and used only to improve website functionality.

Functional cookies
Cookies are usually placed on your computer as the result of some user action, but they can also be received when a service is offered to the user without being explicitly requested. They can be used to avoid offering the same service to the same user more than once. Furthermore, these cookies allow the website to track user choices. The information collected by these cookies is anonymous and cannot be used to assess the behaviour of the user on other websites.

Third-party cookies for marketing/retargeting purposes
These cookies are used by partners in order to display our advertising when you visit other websites, showing, for example, the latest products that you viewed on our website.

The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data as confidential and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

It is generally possible to use our website without disclosing personal data. Where personal data (for example name, postal or e-mail address) is collected on our website, this is voluntary insofar as is possible. This data is never disclosed to third parties without your express consent.

Please note that data transmitted via the internet (e.g. via email communication) may be subject to security breaches. Complete protection of your data from third-party access is not possible.

Cookies

Some of our web pages use cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain any viruses. Cookies help make our website more user-friendly, efficient, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies.” They are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain in your device’s memory until you delete them. These cookies make it possible to recognize your browser when you next visit the site.

You can configure your browser to inform you about the use of cookies so that you can decide on a case-by-case basis whether to accept or reject a cookie. Alternatively, your browser can be configured to automatically accept cookies under certain conditions or to always reject them, or to automatically delete cookies when closing your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Server-Log-Files

The website provider automatically collects and stores information that your browser automatically transmits to us in “server log files”. These are:

Browser type and browser version
Operating system used
Referrer URL
Host name of the accessing computer
Time of the server request
IP address

These data will not be combined with data from other sources.
The basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO, which allows the processing of data to fulfill a contract or for measures preliminary to a contract.

Contact form

Should you send us questions via the contact form, we will collect the data entered on the form, including the contact details you provide, to answer your question and any follow-up questions. We do not share this information without your permission.

We will, therefore, process any data you enter onto the contact form only with your consent per Art. 6 (1)(a) DSGVO. You may revoke your consent at any time. An informal email making this request is sufficient. The data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed.

Newsletter data

If you would like to receive our newsletter, we require a valid email address as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the specified email address and that you agree to receive this newsletter. No additional data is collected or is only collected on a voluntary basis. We only use this data to send the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

We will, therefore, process any data you enter onto the contact form only with your consent per Art. 6 (1) (a) DSGVO. You can revoke consent to the storage of your data and email address as well as their use for sending the newsletter at any time, e.g. through the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed.

The data provided when registering for the newsletter will be used to distribute the newsletter until you cancel your subscription when said data will be deleted.

MailChimp

This website uses the services of MailChimp to send newsletters. This service is provided by Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.

MailChimp is a service which organizes and analyzes the distribution of newsletters. If you provide data (e.g. your email address) to subscribe to our newsletter, it will be stored on MailChimp servers in the USA.

MailChimp is certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield. The Privacy Shield is an agreement between the European Union (EU) and the US to ensure compliance with European privacy standards in the United States.

We use MailChimp to analyze our newsletter campaigns. When you open an email sent by MailChimp, a file included in the email (called a web beacon) connects to MailChimp’s servers in the United States. This allows us to determine if a newsletter message has been opened and which links you click on. In addition, technical information is collected (e.g. time of retrieval, IP address, browser type, and operating system). This information cannot be assigned to a specific recipient. It is used exclusively for the statistical analysis of our newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better tailor future newsletters to your interests.

If you do not want your usage of the newsletter to be analyzed by MailChimp, you will have to unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a link in every newsletter we send. You can also unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on the website.

Data processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (a) DSGVO. You may revoke your consent at any time by unsubscribing to the newsletter. The data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed.

The data provided when registering for the newsletter will be used to distribute the newsletter until you cancel your subscription when said data will be deleted from our servers and those of MailChimp. Data we have stored for other purposes (e.g. email addresses for the members area) remains unaffected.

For details, see the MailChimp privacy policy at https://mailchimp.com/legal/terms/.

Completion of a data processing agreement

We have entered into a data processing agreement with MailChimp, in which we require MailChimp to protect the data of our customers and not to disclose said data to third parties. This agreement may be viewed at the following link: https://mailchimp.com/legal/forms/data-processing-agreement/sample-agreement/.

Google Web Fonts

For uniform representation of fonts, this page uses web fonts provided by Google. When you open a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly.

For this purpose your browser has to establish a direct connection to Google servers. Google thus becomes aware that our web page was accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web fonts is done in the interest of a uniform and attractive presentation of our website. This constitutes a justified interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO.

If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font is used by your computer.

Further information about handling user data, can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

Google Maps

This site uses the Google Maps map service via an API. It is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

To use Google Maps, it is necessary to save your IP address. This information is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transfer.

The use of Google Maps is in the interest of making our website appealing and to facilitate the location of places specified by us on the website. This constitutes a justified interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO.

Further information about handling user data, can be found in the data protection declaration of Google at  https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

YouTube

Our website uses plugins from YouTube, which is operated by Google. The operator of the pages is YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.

If you visit one of our pages featuring a YouTube plugin, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. Here the YouTube server is informed about which of our pages you have visited.

If you’re logged in to your YouTube account, YouTube allows you to associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

YouTube is used to help make our website appealing. This constitutes a justified interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO.

Further information about handling user data, can be found in the data protection declaration of YouTube under https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy

SSL encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and for the protection of the transmission of confidential content, such as the inquiries you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection in your browser’s address line when it changes from “https://” to “https://” and the lock icon is displayed in your browser’s address bar.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transfer to us cannot be read by third parties.

Information, blocking, deletion

As permitted by law, you have the right to be provided at any time with information free of charge about any of your personal data that is stored as well as its origin, the recipient and the purpose for which it has been processed. You also have the right to have this data corrected, blocked or deleted. You can contact us at any time using the address given in our legal notice if you have further questions on the topic of personal data.

Opposition to promotional emails

We hereby expressly prohibit the use of contact data published in the context of website legal notice requirements with regard to sending promotional and informational materials not expressly requested. The website operator reserves the right to take specific legal action if unsolicited advertising material, such as email spam, is received.
