Liability for Content

The contents of our website were created with great care. However, we cannot assume any liability for the accuracy, completeness or topicality of the information provided. As operator of the website we are responsible in accordance with Section 7, Sub-section 1 of the German Telemedia Act (TMG) for our own content on this website under the general laws. According to Sections 8 to 10 of the Telemedia Act we are, however, under no obligation to monitor transmitted or recorded information from external sources nor are we liable to search for circumstances that may suggest illicit activity. Obligations to remove or block the use of information under the general laws remain unaffected. However, any such liability only arises from the time when an infringement becomes known. If any infringement of the law should become known to us we will remove such contents immediately.

Liability for Links

Our website contains direct or indirect links to third-party web pages on external websites. We have no influence whatsoever on the information provided on these websites. Therefore we cannot accept any guarantee for the content of these websites. Responsibility for the content of the linked web pages lies solely with the owner or provider of the website in question. At the time of setting the links the linked web pages were checked for infringements of the law and no illegal content was discovered. Continuous monitoring of the contents of linked web pages without concrete evidence of a violation of the law is not reasonable. If any infringement of the law should become known to us we will remove such links immediately.

All accesses to our website and every access to files stored on our website are logged and stored for internal system-related and statistical purposes. The logged data are: name of file accessed, date and time of access, data volume transferred, report on successful access, web browser and accessing domain. It is generally possible to use our website without giving personal data. Insofar as any personal data (e.g. name, address or e-mail addresses) are collected on our website, this is always done on a voluntary basis, as far as possible. This especially applies in the event that a contractual relationship shall be concluded between you and us or shall be defined or modified with regard to its content, or we receive from you a request for proposal or a contact request or when you register for advertising measures (e.g. E-mail newsletter, request for information material, participation in a lottery etc). In such cases we collect and use your personal data only to the extent that is necessary for these purposes. You are entitled to object to the use of your personal data at any time with effect for the future. These data will not be given to third parties without your explicit consent. You can also withdraw your consent at any time. Just send us a brief message to this effect.

We only transfer your personal data to third parties when this is permitted by law or you have given us your explicit consent.

We draw your attention to the fact that data transmission over the Internet may involve gaps in security. It is not possible to safeguard data completely against unauthorised access by third parties.

Security Information

We take every possible technical and organisational precaution to ensure that your data are stored so that they cannot be accessed by third parties. However, we cannot guarantee complete data security for digital communications. Therefore, we recommend that you send any confidential information by post.

Legal basis

The legal basis for the processing of your data is Article 9, Section 2 letter h) of the DSGVO in connection with Paragraph 22, Section 1 No. 1 letter b) of the Bundesdatenschutzgesetz [Federal Data Protection Act]. If you have any queries, please contact us.

Right to Information

You have the right to be informed about the storage of data pertaining to your person, as well as the right to demand the correction of incorrect data.
Furthermore, you have the right under certain conditions to demand that your data be deleted or to restrict the processing of your data, and you have the right to data portability.  Your data are processed on the basis of legal regulations. Only in exceptional circumstances do we need your consent. In such cases, you have the right to revoke your consent to future processing. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the responsible data protection authority if you are of the opinion that the processing of your data is not lawful.
