LIABILITY FOR CONTENT

INFORMATION PURSUANT TO § 5 TMG INFORMATION PURSUANT TO § 5 TMG

As a service provider, we are responsible for our own content on these pages in accordance with § 7 (1) TMG and general laws. However, according to §§ 8 to 10 TMG, we as a service provider are not obliged to monitor transmitted or stored third-party information or to investigate circumstances that indicate illegal activity. Obligations to remove or block the use of information in accordance with general laws remain unaffected by this. However, liability in this regard is only possible from the time we become aware of a specific legal violation. If we become aware of such legal violations, we will remove this content immediately.

LIABILITY FOR LINKS

Our website contains links to external websites of third parties over whose content we have no influence. Therefore, we cannot accept any liability for this external content. The respective provider or operator of the linked pages is always responsible for their content. The linked pages were checked for possible legal violations at the time of linking. Illegal content was not recognizable at the time of linking. However, permanent monitoring of the content of the linked pages is not reasonable without concrete evidence of a violation of the law. If we become aware of any violations of the law, we will remove such links immediately.

The content and works on these pages created by the site operators are subject to German copyright law. The reproduction, editing, distribution, and any kind of use outside the limits of copyright law require the written consent of the respective author or creator. Downloads and copies of this site are only permitted for private, non-commercial use. Insofar as the content on this site was not created by the operator, the copyrights of third parties are respected. In particular, third-party content is identified as such. Should you nevertheless become aware of a copyright infringement, please inform us accordingly. If we become aware of any infringements, we will remove such content immediately.

The responsible body decides alone or together with others on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, contact details, etc.).

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Some data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. An informal email notification is sufficient for revocation. The legality of the data processing carried out until revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

As a data subject, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority in the event of a breach of data protection law. The competent supervisory authority for data protection issues is the state data protection officer of the federal state in which our company is based. The following link provides a list of data protection officers and their contact details: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to third parties. The data will be provided in a machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done if it is technically feasible.

Right to information, correction, blocking, deletion

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to obtain information free of charge at any time about your stored personal data, the origin of the data, its recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and, if applicable, a right to correction, blocking, or deletion of this data. In this regard, and also for further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time using the contact options listed in the legal notice.

SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content that you send to us as the site operator, our website uses SSL or TLS encryption. This means that data you transmit via this website cannot be read by third parties. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the “https://” address line of your browser and the lock symbol in the browser line.

Contact form

Data transmitted via the contact form, including your contact details, will be stored in order to process your request or to be available for follow-up questions. This data will not be passed on without your consent. The data entered in the contact form is processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You can revoke your consent at any time. An informal email is sufficient for revocation. The legality of the data processing operations carried out until revocation remains unaffected by the revocation. Data transmitted via the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to its storage, or there is no longer any need for data storage. Mandatory legal provisions—in particular retention periods—remain unaffected.
