cookies

Like many other websites, we also use so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small text files that are transferred from a website server to your hard drive. This automatically provides us with certain data, such as IP address, browser used, operating system about your computer and your connection to the Internet.

Cookies cannot be used to start programs or transfer viruses to a computer. Based on the information contained in cookies, we can make it easier for you to navigate and display our web pages correctly.

In no case will the data collected by us be passed on to third parties or linked to personal data without your consent.

Of course, you can also view our website without cookies in principle. Internet browsers are regularly set to accept cookies. You can deactivate the use of cookies at any time via your browser settings. Please use the help functions of your Internet browser to find out how to change these settings. Please note that individual features of our website may not work if you have deactivated the use of cookies.

Registering on our website

When registering to use our personalized services, some personal data is collected, such as name, address, contact and communication data such as telephone number and email address. If you are registered with us, you can access content and services that we only offer to registered users. Registered users also have the option to change or delete the data provided during registration at any time if necessary. Of course, we will also provide you with information about the personal data we have stored about you at any time.

We are also happy to correct or delete them at your request, as long as there are no legal storage obligations to the contrary. To contact us in this context, please use the contact details provided at the end of this privacy policy.

Provision of paid services

In order to provide paid services, we ask for additional data, such as payment details.

SSL encryption

To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption methods (such as SSL) via HTTPS.

comment function

When users leave comments in the blog, in addition to this information, the time they were created and the username previously chosen by the website visitor are saved. This is for our security, as we can be prosecuted for illegal content on our website, even if it was created by users.

newsletters

When you register to receive our newsletter, the data you provide will only be used for this purpose. Subscribers can also be informed by email about circumstances that are relevant to the service or registration (such as changes to the newsletter offer or technical conditions).

For effective registration, we need a valid email address. To verify that a registration is actually made by the owner of an e-mail address, we use the “double opt-in” procedure. For this purpose, we log the subscription to the newsletter, the sending of a confirmation email and the receipt of the response requested here. No further data is collected. The data is used exclusively for sending newsletters and is not passed on to third parties.

You can withdraw your consent to the storage of your personal data and its use for sending newsletters at any time. There is a corresponding link in every newsletter. In addition, you can also unsubscribe directly from this website at any time or send us your request using the contact option given at the end of this privacy policy.

contact form

If you contact us via email or contact form, the information you provide will be stored for the purpose of processing the request and for possible follow-up questions.

Deletion or blocking of data

We comply with the principles of data avoidance and data economy. We therefore only store your personal data for as long as is necessary to achieve the purposes mentioned here or as required by the various storage periods provided for by law. After the respective purpose ceases to exist or these deadlines have expired, the corresponding data will be blocked or deleted routinely and in accordance with legal requirements.

Using Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (hereinafter: Google). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies,” i.e. text files that are stored on your computer and allow an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, due to the activation of IP anonymization on these websites, Google will abbreviate your IP address beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and abbreviated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and Internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other data from Google.

You can prevent cookies from being saved by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to fully use all functions of this website. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: Browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics.

In addition or as an alternative to the browser add-on, you can prevent tracking by Google Analytics on our pages by clicking on this link. This will install an opt-out cookie on your device. This will prevent Google Analytics from collecting data for this website and for this browser in the future as long as the cookie remains installed in your browser.

Use of script libraries (Google web fonts)

In order to display our content correctly and graphically appealing across browsers, we use script libraries and font libraries such as Google Web Fonts on this website (https://www.google.com/webfonts/). Google web fonts are transferred to your browser's cache to avoid multiple loads. If the browser does not support Google web fonts or prevents access, content is displayed in a standard font.

Calling script libraries or font libraries automatically triggers a connection to the library operator. It is theoretically possible — but currently also unclear whether and, if so, for what purposes — that operators of corresponding libraries collect data.

The privacy policy of library operator Google can be found here: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

Embedded YouTube videos

We embed YouTube videos on some of our websites. The operator of the corresponding plug-ins is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit a page with the YouTube plugin, a connection to YouTube servers is established. This tells YouTube which pages you visit. If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube can assign your surfing behavior to you personally. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account beforehand.

When a YouTube video is started, the provider uses cookies that collect information about user behavior.

Further information on data protection at “YouTube” can be found in the provider's privacy policy at:https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/

Social plugins

Social plugins from the providers listed below are used on our websites. You can recognize the plugins by the fact that they are marked with the corresponding logo.

These plug-ins may send information, which may include personal data, to the service provider and may be used by the service provider. We prevent the unconscious and unwanted collection and transmission of data to the service provider through a 2-click solution. To activate a desired social plugin, it must first be activated by clicking on the corresponding button. Only this activation of the plugin triggers the collection of information and its transmission to the service provider. We do not collect any personal data ourselves using social plugins or through their use.

We have no influence on which data an activated plugin collects and how it is used by the provider. At present, it must be assumed that a direct connection to the provider's services will be expanded and that at least the IP address and device-related information will be collected and used. It is also possible that the service providers try to save cookies on the computer used. For information on which specific data is collected and how it is used, please refer to the data protection information of the respective service provider. Note: If you are logged in to Facebook at the same time, Facebook can identify you as a visitor to a specific page.

We have integrated the social media buttons of the following companies on our website:

Facebook Inc. (1601 S. California Ave - Palo Alto - CA 94304 - USA)

Google Plus/Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway - Mountain View - CA 94043 - USA)

Your rights to information, correction, suspension, deletion and objection

You have the right to receive information about your personal data stored by us at any time. You also have the right to correct, block or, apart from the mandatory data storage for business transactions, delete your personal data. To do so, please contact our data protection officer. The contact details can be found at the bottom.

So that a data lock can be taken into account at any time, this data must be kept in a lock file for control purposes. You can also request that the data be deleted unless there is a legal archiving obligation. If there is such an obligation, we will block your data upon request.

You can make changes or withdraw your consent by notifying us accordingly with effect for the future.

Amendment to our privacy policy

We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy from time to time so that it always meets current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the privacy policy, e.g. when introducing new services. The new privacy policy will then apply to your next visit.
