Privacy Policy

Below you will find information about what data is collected during your visit to our website and how it is used. The data is protected within the framework of legal regulations.

This website uses cookies for a better browsing experience, to personalize content and ads, to offer social media features, and to analyze access to the website.

 

General Information on Data Processing

We collect, process, and use users’ personal data in compliance with the prescribed data protection regulations. This means that users’ data is only used as permitted by law or with their consent.
We take organizational, contractual, and technical security measures in accordance with the state of the art to ensure that the provisions of data protection laws are observed and to protect the data we manage against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction, or access by unauthorized persons.

Personal Data

Users’ personal data is used to provide our services and user features. For example, if you contact us via the contact form, the information will be stored for the purpose of processing the request and in case of follow-up questions. Personal data will be deleted if it is no longer required or if there are no legal retention obligations.

Access Data

We only collect personal data to the extent technically necessary, e.g., name of the retrieved file, date and time of retrieval, amount of data transferred, notification of successful retrieval, browser type and version, the user’s operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), and the requesting provider. We do not assign this data to specific persons and do not merge it with data from other sources.

If there is the possibility to enter personal or business data (email addresses, names, addresses, e.g., in the contact form), the disclosure of this data by the user is expressly voluntary. The use and payment of all offered services is – as far as technically possible and reasonable – also permitted without providing such data or by providing anonymized data or a pseudonym.

Blog Comments

If you write a comment on a blog article, your IP address will be saved. This is for our security in case someone writes illegal content (insults, prohibited political propaganda, etc.) in comments. In such cases, we could be held liable for the comment and are therefore interested in the identity of the comment author. These comment IP addresses are deleted as soon as we have read the comments, usually within a few hours. We also reserve the right to delete or not publish comments. A comment always reflects the opinion of the respective author.

Follow-up comments can sometimes also be subscribed to. You will then receive a confirmation email to check whether you are the owner of the entered email address. You can unsubscribe from ongoing comment subscriptions at any time. The confirmation email will contain instructions for this. When registering and confirming, the IP address and the time are saved to be able to prove the registration if necessary.

Blog Article Subscription

If you subscribe to blog articles, your email address will only be used to send the articles. You can unsubscribe at any time (email us or follow the instructions in the confirmation email). When registering and confirming, the IP address and the time are saved to be able to prove the registration if necessary.

Legal Validity of the Disclaimer

The disclaimer is to be regarded as part of the internet offer from which reference was made to this page. If parts or individual formulations of this text do not, no longer, or not completely correspond to the applicable legal situation, the remaining parts of the document remain unaffected in their content and validity.

 

Cookies

To ensure our website functions as desired, we sometimes place small files – so-called cookies – on your device. This is common practice for most websites.

The cookie settings on this website are set to “allow cookies” to give you the best browsing experience. The website uses cookies to personalize content and ads, offer social media features, and analyze access to our website.

What are Cookies?

Cookies are small files that are stored on your computer, tablet, smartphone, etc., via your browser. Cookies make it easier for your browser to navigate a website. For example, certain entries and settings (e.g., login, language, font size, and other display preferences) are “remembered” for a certain period, so you do not have to re-enter them every time you visit and navigate the site. The cookie itself cannot collect information stored on your computer or in your files. When a server can retrieve cookies via the web browser, this enables a more user-friendly service…. Activating these cookies is not strictly necessary for using the website, but it improves your user experience. Of course, you can delete or block cookies. However, in this case, you may not be able to use all the functions of this website as intended. The data collected by cookies is not used to identify you.

Control over Cookies

You can control and/or delete cookies as you wish. You can read more about this at AllAboutCookies.org. All cookies stored on your computer can be deleted, and most browsers can be set to prevent the storage of cookies. However, you may have to manually adjust some settings every time you visit a site, and some functions may be impaired. Please refer to your browser’s help section for more information. Please note that most browsers automatically allow cookies. If you do not want cookies to be used, you must actively delete or block cookies.

Why Do We Use Cookies?

Cookies help us improve your user experience when visiting our website. Cookies remember which browser you use and what additional browser software you have installed. They also contain information about your settings and preferences (e.g., language and country). Cookies also enable you to rate pages and fill out forms. We use cookies to learn more about how you interact with our content.
Some of the cookies we use are so-called session cookies. They expire automatically when you close your browser. There are also persistent cookies that are stored on your computer for a longer period. More information about the different types of cookies that may be used by us can be found here:

Session Cookies

These cookies store information about a user’s session. Websites have no memory. Session cookies allow website operators to track users’ movements on the visited website. This means that user information already sent to the website does not have to be transmitted again. Session cookies are deleted when the browser is closed.

Preference Cookies

When visiting a website, these cookies store information about the browser used and additional browser software installed. In addition, these cookies store the settings and preferences made when personalizing a website (e.g., country, language, or fonts). These settings and preferences are stored in connection with persistent cookies and do not need to be set again on the next visit.

Rating Cookies

These persistent cookies allow a user to rate how much they like a website. Rating cookies are used to store the current user rating of the page and to prevent users from rating a page multiple times.

Voting Cookies

These persistent cookies ensure that users can only participate in a poll once.

Form Cookies

These cookies store information provided by a user when filling out forms. The stored data is used solely to restore the entries in the form when the user returns to the respective page.

Analytical Cookies

Analytical cookies should show us how you move around a homepage. This type of cookie collects information about how visitors use our website, where they came from, how often a user visits our site, and how long a visit lasts. No user-specific information is collected, and no usage statistics are created on an aggregated level. We use Google Analytics, a web analysis service from Google, for this purpose.

Integration of Third-Party Services and Content

It may happen that third-party content, such as YouTube videos, Google Maps, RSS feeds, or graphics from other websites, is integrated within this online offer. This always requires that the providers of this content (hereinafter referred to as “third-party providers”) perceive the IP address of the users. Without the IP address, they could not send the content to the user’s browser. The IP address is therefore required for displaying this content. We strive to use only content whose respective providers use the IP address solely for delivering the content. However, we have no influence if third-party providers store the IP address, e.g., for statistical purposes. As far as we know, we inform users about this. See the information below.

Jetpack/ WordPress.com-Stats

This website uses WordPress.com-Stats, a tool for statistical analysis of visitor access, operated by Automattic, Inc. 132 Hawthorne Street San Francisco, CA 94107, USA, using the tracking technology of Quantcast Inc., 201 3rd St, Floor 2, San Francisco, CA 94103-3153, USA. WordPress.com-Stats uses so-called “cookies”, text files stored on your computer, which allow an analysis of the use of the website by you…. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is stored on a server in the USA. The IP address is anonymized before being stored. You can prevent the installation of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; however, please note that in this case, you may not be able to use all the functions of this website in full.

You can object to the collection and use of data by Quantcast with effect for the future by setting an opt-out cookie in your browser at this link: http://www.quantcast.com/opt-out.

If you delete all cookies on your computer, you must set the opt-out cookie again.

YouTube

Videos from YouTube may be embedded on this website or links to YouTube videos may be provided. This means you may encounter cookies from these websites when you visit a page with embedded YouTube content or links to YouTube. More information can be found in YouTube’s privacy policy:

Facebook / Social PlugIns

Our website uses social plugins (“plugins”) from the social network facebook.com, operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 South California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). The plugins are identifiable by a Facebook logo (white “f” or a “thumbs up” sign) or are marked with “Facebook Social Plugin”.

Each time you access a page of our website that contains such a plugin, the plugin causes your browser to load and display the visual representation of the plugin from the Facebook server. In doing so, the Facebook server is informed which specific page of our website you are visiting and other data such as your IP address is transmitted.

The plugin enables a direct connection between the user’s browser and the Facebook or Google server. Facebook or Google thus receive information (in particular, the date and time of the website visit and other browser-related information) about the user on the website. If the user clicks the Facebook “Like” button or the Google “+1” button while logged into their Facebook or Google account, Facebook or Google can also assign the visit to the website to the user’s profile.

By activating the plugin, Facebook receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding page of our website. If you are logged in to Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to your Facebook account. If you interact with the plugins, such as pressing the “Like” button or leaving a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted directly from your browser to Facebook and stored there. If you are not a Facebook member, there is still the possibility that Facebook will collect and store your IP address after clicking the Facebook notice.

For the purpose and scope of data collection and further processing and use of data by Facebook, as well as your rights and settings options for protecting your privacy, please refer to Facebook’s privacy policy.

If you are a Facebook member and do not want Facebook to collect data about you via our website and link it to your Facebook member data, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website. Further settings and objections to the use of data for advertising purposes are possible within the Facebook profile settings: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads…. It is also possible to block Facebook social plugins with add-ons for your browser (e.g., “Facebook Blocker”).

By visiting the website, you expressly agree to such use of your user information.

Twitter

This offer uses the buttons of the Twitter service. These buttons are provided by Twitter Inc., 795 Folsom St., Suite 600, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. They are identifiable by terms such as “Twitter” or “Follow”, combined with a stylized blue bird. With the help of the buttons, it is possible to share a post or page of this offer on Twitter or to follow the provider on Twitter.

When a user calls up a website of this online presence that contains such a button, their browser establishes a direct connection to Twitter’s servers. The content of the Twitter button is transmitted by Twitter directly to the user’s browser. The provider therefore has no influence on the scope of the data that Twitter collects with the help of this plugin and informs users according to their knowledge. According to this, only the user’s IP address and the URL of the respective website are transmitted when the button is obtained, but not for other purposes than the display of the button.
Further information can be found in Twitter’s privacy policy at http://twitter.com/privacy.

Xing

This offer uses the “XING Share Button”. When you access this website, a short-term connection is established via your browser to servers of XING AG (“XING”), which provide the “XING Share Button” functions (especially the calculation/display of the counter value). XING does not store any personal data of the user about the call of this offer. In particular, XING does not store IP addresses. There is also no evaluation of usage behavior via the use of cookies in connection with the “XING Share Button”. The current data protection information on the “XING Share Button” and supplementary information can be found on this website: https://www.xing.com/app/share?op=data_protection

Email, Feedback, and Forum Service

If this website offers email, forum, or feedback services, we will store the data you provide to the extent necessary for this service. Use for advertising purposes is expressly excluded unless we have your consent or legal permission.

Other Data Collection

Further personal data is only collected if you provide it voluntarily, e.g., as part of an inquiry. If you have provided us with personal data, we will only use it to answer your inquiries, process contracts concluded with you, and for technical administration.

Information

Every user can request information at any time about what data is stored about them and for what purpose this storage takes place. In addition, incorrect data can be corrected or data whose storage is inadmissible or no longer required can be deleted. We provide information about stored data upon written request.

Further Notes

We strive to store your personal data by taking all technical and organizational possibilities so that they are not accessible to third parties. When communicating by email, complete data security cannot be guaranteed, so we recommend postal mail for confidential information.

We and the service companies commissioned by us are obliged to confidentiality and to comply with data protection regulations and other professional data protection regulations.
