Data protection

When you visit this website, information about your access (date, time, page accessed) may be stored on the server. No personal data (e.g., name, address, or email address) is stored. If personal data is collected, this will only occur with the prior consent of the website user, where possible. Data will not be shared with third parties without the user’s explicit consent.

Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g., via email) can have security vulnerabilities, and complete protection of data against access by third parties cannot be guaranteed. The provider accepts no liability for damages resulting from such security vulnerabilities.

The use of contact details by third parties for commercial purposes is expressly prohibited unless the provider has given prior written consent. The provider reserves the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising, e.g., via spam emails.

Access data/server log files

The provider (or their web hosting provider) collects data about every access to the website (so-called server log files). This access data includes:

The name of the accessed website, file, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, browser type and version, the user’s operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address, and the requesting provider are recorded.
The provider uses the log data only for statistical analysis for the purposes of operation, security, and optimization of the service. However, the provider reserves the right to subsequently review the log data if there is a legitimate suspicion of unlawful use based on concrete evidence.

Contact

When contacting the provider (for example via contact form or email), the user’s information is stored for the purpose of processing the request and in case follow-up questions arise.

Integration of third-party services and content

It is possible that third-party content, such as YouTube videos, Google Maps, RSS feeds, or graphics from other websites, may be integrated into this online service. This always requires that the providers of this content (hereinafter referred to as “third-party providers”) are aware of the users’ IP addresses. Without the IP address, they would be unable to send the content to the respective user’s browser. The IP address is therefore necessary for displaying this content. We strive to use only content from providers who use the IP address solely for delivering the content. However, we have no control over whether third-party providers store the IP address for other purposes, such as statistical analysis. To the extent that we are aware of such practices, we will inform users accordingly.

Cookies

Cookies are small files that allow websites to store specific, device-related information on users’ access devices (PCs, smartphones, etc.). They serve two main purposes: firstly, to improve the user-friendliness of websites (e.g., by storing login data), and secondly, to collect statistical data on website usage for analysis and improvement of the services offered. Users can influence the use of cookies. Most browsers offer an option to restrict or completely prevent the storage of cookies. However, please note that disabling cookies may limit website functionality and, in particular, user experience.

Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies,” which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website will generally be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.
However, if IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened by Google beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of 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 shortened there. IP anonymization is active on this website. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity, and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator.

The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. Users can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting their browser settings; however, this website points out that in this case, you may not be able to fully utilize all the functions of this website. Furthermore, users can prevent Google from collecting and processing data generated by the cookie and related to their use of the website (including their IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link:  http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout .
