Scope

This data protection declaration is intended to inform the users of this website in accordance with the Federal Data Protection Act and the Telemedia Act about the type, scope and purpose of the collection and use of personal data by the website operator.
The website operator takes data protection very seriously and treats your personal data confidentially and in accordance with legal regulations.

Please remember that data transmission over the Internet can generally be subject to security gaps. Complete protection against access by strangers is not possible.

Access data

The website operator or site provider collects data about access to the site and saves it as “server log files”. The following data is logged like this:

Website visited
Time at time of access
Amount of data sent in bytes
Source/reference from which you came to the page
Browser

used IP address used
The data collected is only used for statistical evaluations and to improve the website. However, the website operator reserves the right to subsequently check the server log files if there are concrete indications of illegal use.
Cookies

This site uses cookies. These are small text files that are stored on your 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 not to allow cookies. Note: It is not guaranteed that you will be able to access all functions of this website without restrictions if you make appropriate settings.
Handling of personal data

The website operator only collects, uses and passes on your personal data if this is permitted by law or if you consent to the data collection.

Personal data includes all information that serves to identify you as a person and that can be traced back to you – for example your name, email address and telephone number.
Handling contact details

If you contact the website operator using the contact options provided, your details will be saved so that they can be used to process and answer your query. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your consent.
Google Analytics

This website uses the “Google Analytics” service, which is offered by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheater Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA), to analyze how users use the website. The service uses “cookies” – text files that are stored on your device. The information collected by cookies is usually sent to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

IP anonymization applies on this website. The user’s IP address is shortened within the member states of the EU and the European Economic Area. This shortening means that your IP address is no longer linked to a person. As part of the order data agreement that the website operators have concluded with Google Inc., Google Inc. uses the information collected to create an evaluation 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 plug-in 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
Alternatively, you can prevent Google by clicking on this link [ga-optout text=“Deactivate Google Analytics”]. Analytics collects data about you within this website. By clicking on the link above you will download an “opt-out cookie”. Your browser must therefore generally allow the storage of cookies. If you delete your cookies regularly, you will have to click on the link again each time you visit this website.

Use of social media plugins

This website uses Facebook Social Plugins, which is operated by Facebook Inc. (1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA). The integration can be recognized by the Facebook logo or the terms “Like”, “Like”, “Share” in the colors of Facebook (blue and white). Information about all Facebook plugins can be found in the following link: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/

The plugin establishes a direct connection between your browser and the Facebook servers. The website operator has no influence whatsoever on the nature and extent of the data that the plugin transmits to the Facebook Inc. servers. You can find information about this here: https://www.facebook.com/help/186325668085084
The plugin informs Facebook Inc. that you have visited this website. There is a possibility that your IP address will be saved. If you are logged into your Facebook account while visiting this website, the information mentioned will be linked to it.

If you use the functions of the plugin – for example by sharing or “liking” a post – the corresponding information will also be transmitted to Facebook Inc.

Do you want to prevent the Facebook. Inc. links this data to your Facebook account, please log out of Facebook before visiting this website.

This website also uses the “+1” button from Google Plus. This is operated by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheater Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). If you visit a page that contains the “+1” button, a direct connection is created between your browser and the Google servers. The website operator therefore has no influence whatsoever on the nature and extent of the data that the plugin transmits to the Google Inc. servers. Click on the “+1” button while logged in to Google +, share the contents of the page on your public profile.

According to Google Inc., personal data is only collected when you click on the button. Even if Google users are logged in, the IP address, among other things, is stored. If you would like to prevent Google Inc. from storing this data and linking it to your account, please log out before visiting this website.

Information about the “+1” button can be found here: https://developers.google.com/+/web/buttons-policy

This website also uses Twitter buttons. These are operated by Twitter Inc. (795 Folsom St., Suite 600, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA). If you visit a page that contains such a button, a direct connection is created between your browser and the Twitter servers. The website operator therefore has no influence whatsoever on the nature and extent of the data that the plugin transmits to the Twitter Inc. servers.

According to Twitter Inc., only your IP address is collected and stored.
