Privacy Policy
This is a non-binding courtesy translation. The German-language version of this Datenschutzerklärung (privacy policy) is the legally authoritative version.
Data Protection
Our website can be used without providing personal data. For the use of individual services on our site, different provisions may apply, which will be explained separately below in such cases. We process your personal data (e.g. name, address, email, telephone number, and similar) only in accordance with the provisions of German data protection law. Data is considered personal data when it can be clearly attributed to a specific natural person. The legal basis for data protection can be found in the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the Telemedia Act (TMG). The following provisions inform you accordingly about the nature, scope, and purpose of the collection, use, and processing of personal data by the provider
We would like to point out that data transmission over the internet has security vulnerabilities, meaning complete protection against access by third parties is not possible.
On our site, we offer you the option of contacting us by email and/or via a contact form. In this case, the information provided by the user is stored for the purpose of processing the inquiry. No data is passed on to third parties. Nor is the data collected in this way compared with data that may be collected by other components of our site.
Use of Google Analytics with Anonymization Function
Our site uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter “Google”. Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer and that enable an analysis of your use of the website.
The information generated by these cookies, such as the time, location, and frequency of your visits to the website, including your IP address, is transmitted to Google in the USA and stored there.
We use Google Analytics on our website with the addition “_gat._anonymizeIp”. In this case, your IP address is already shortened by Google within the member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and thereby anonymized.
Google will use this information to evaluate your use of our website, to compile reports on website activity for us, and to provide other services relating to website and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required by law, or where third parties process this data on behalf of Google.
According to its own statements, Google will under no circumstances associate your IP address with other data held by Google. You can prevent the installation of cookies by adjusting your browser software settings accordingly; however, please note that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of our website to their full extent.
Furthermore, Google offers a deactivation add-on for the most common browsers, which gives you more control over which data is collected by Google regarding the websites you visit. The add-on tells the JavaScript (ga.js) of Google Analytics that no information about the website visit should be transmitted to Google Analytics. However, the Google Analytics browser deactivation add-on does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or to other web analytics services we may use. Further information on installing the browser add-on can be found via the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de
Use of Google+ Recommendation Components
Our site uses the “+1” button provided by Google+, a service of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter “Google”.
Each time our website, which is equipped with such a “+1” component, is accessed, this component causes the browser you are using to download a corresponding display of the component from Google. Through this process, Google is informed which specific page of our website is currently being visited.
According to Google, no further evaluation of your visit takes place if you are not logged into your Google account.
If you access our site while logged into Google, Google can, when you confirm the “+1” button, collect information about your Google account, the website you are recommending, your IP address, and other browser-related information.
Your “+1” recommendation can thus be stored and made publicly accessible. The Google “+1” recommendation you have given may then be displayed, together with your account name and, where applicable, your photo stored with Google, in Google services such as search results, in your Google account, or elsewhere, for example on websites and advertisements on the internet. Furthermore, Google may link your visit to our site with data stored about you at Google. Google also records this information in order to further improve Google’s services.
If you wish to prevent the aforementioned collection by Google as effectively as possible, you must log out of your Google account before visiting our website.
Google’s privacy information on the “+1” button, with all further information on the collection, disclosure, and use of data by Google, your rights in this regard, and your profile settings options, can be accessed here: https://developers.google.com/+/web/buttons-policy
Use of Facebook Components
Our site uses components from the provider facebook.com. Facebook is a service of facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA.
Each time our website, which is equipped with such a component, is accessed, this component causes the browser you are using to download a corresponding display of the component from Facebook. Through this process, Facebook is informed which specific page of our website you are currently visiting.
If you access our site while logged into Facebook, Facebook recognizes, through the information collected by the component, which specific page you are visiting and associates this information with your personal Facebook account. If you click the “Like” button, for example, or leave a comment, this information is transmitted to your personal Facebook account and stored there. Furthermore, the information that you have visited our site is passed on to Facebook. This occurs regardless of whether you click on the component or not.
If you want to prevent Facebook from transmitting and storing data about you and your behavior on our website, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our site. Facebook’s privacy notices provide further information on this, in particular on the collection and use of data by Facebook, your rights in this regard, and the settings options available to protect your privacy: https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/
In addition, external tools are available on the market with which Facebook social plugins can be blocked using add-ons for all common browsers http://webgraph.com/resources/facebookblocker/
An overview of the Facebook plugins can be found at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/
Use of Twitter Recommendation Components
Our site uses components from the provider Twitter. Twitter is a service of Twitter Inc., 795 Folsom St., Suite 600, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA.
Each time our website, which is equipped with such a component, is accessed, this component causes the browser you are using to download a corresponding display of the component from Twitter. Through this process, Twitter is informed which specific page of our website is currently being visited.
We have no influence, either over the data that Twitter collects through this, or over the extent of the data collected by Twitter. To our knowledge, Twitter collects the URL of the respective website visited as well as the user’s IP address, but does not use this for any purpose other than displaying the Twitter component. Further information on this can be found in Twitter’s privacy policy at http://twitter.com/privacy.
You can change your privacy settings in your account settings at http://twitter.com/account/settings.
Information/Withdrawal/Deletion
Under the Federal Data Protection Act, you may contact us free of charge with questions regarding the collection, processing, or use of your personal data, and regarding the correction, blocking, or deletion of such data, or the withdrawal of consent given. We would like to point out that you have a right to have incorrect data corrected or personal data deleted, provided no statutory retention obligation stands in the way of this claim.

Liability Notice (Disclaimer):
Despite careful content control, we assume no liability for the content of external links. The operators of the linked pages are solely responsible for their content.
1. Content of the Online Offering
The author assumes no warranty whatsoever for the timeliness, accuracy, completeness, or quality of the information provided. Liability claims against the author relating to material or immaterial damage caused by the use or non-use of the information presented, or by the use of incorrect or incomplete information, are in principle excluded, provided there is no demonstrably intentional or grossly negligent fault on the part of the author.
All offers are non-binding and without obligation. The author expressly reserves the right to change, add to, or delete parts of the pages or the entire offering without separate notice, or to discontinue publication temporarily or permanently.
2. References and Links
The author hereby expressly declares that, at the time the links were set, no illegal content was identifiable on the linked pages. The author has no influence whatsoever on the current or future design, content, or authorship of the linked pages. He therefore expressly distances himself from all content on all linked pages that was changed after the links were set. This statement applies to all links and references set within the author’s own website, as well as to third-party entries in guest books, discussion forums, and mailing lists set up by the author. For illegal, incorrect, or incomplete content, and in particular for damages arising from the use or non-use of information presented in this way, only the provider of the page referred to is liable, not the person who merely refers to the respective publication via links.
3. Copyright and Trademark Law
In all publications, the author endeavors to observe the copyrights of the graphics, audio documents, video sequences, and texts used, to use graphics, audio documents, video sequences, and texts created by himself, or to make use of license-free graphics, audio documents, video sequences, and texts.
All brand names and trademarks mentioned within the website and possibly protected by third parties are subject without restriction to the provisions of the applicable trademark law and the ownership rights of the respective registered owners. The mere mention of a trademark does not justify the conclusion that it is not protected by the rights of third parties!
The copyright for published objects created by the author himself remains solely with the author of the pages. Any reproduction or use of such graphics, audio documents, video sequences, and texts in other electronic or printed publications is not permitted without the express consent of the author.
4. Data Protection
Where the option to enter personal or business data (email addresses, names, addresses) exists within the website, the disclosure of this data by the user is made on an expressly voluntary basis. The use and payment of all services offered is permitted – insofar as technically possible and reasonable – without providing such data, or by providing anonymized data or a pseudonym. The use of contact details published within the imprint or similar information, such as postal addresses, telephone and fax numbers, and email addresses, by third parties for the purpose of sending information that has not been expressly requested is not permitted. Legal action against the senders of so-called spam emails in violation of this prohibition is expressly reserved.
