Data protection

In order to optimize our website, we collect, use and store your personal data exclusively in accordance with the statutory provisions. Below we inform you which data is collected during your visit to our website and how it is used:

Collection and processing of data

Every visit to our homepage and every retrieval of a file stored on the homepage is logged. Among other things, the date and time of access, the IP address, the web browser and the requesting domain are stored. This does not constitute an evaluation of personal data. The storage is solely for internal system-related and statistical purposes. Further personal data is only collected if you provide this information voluntarily.

Consent to the use and disclosure of personal data

The use of our homepage is generally possible without providing personal data. If you have provided us with personal data, we will only use it in the context of your request and for our technical administration. Your personal data will only be passed on to third parties with your prior express consent. Upon written request, we will be happy to inform you about the personal data stored about you. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. Upon receipt of your revocation, we will immediately delete the stored personal data. Deletion will also take place if storage is not permitted for other legal reasons.

We make every effort to take all technical and organizational measures to store your personal data in such a way that it is not accessible to third parties.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics on our website, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies". This is a text file that is sent when you visit our website and is temporarily stored on your hard disk. The information generated by the cookie (including your IP address) about your use of our website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google is commissioned by us to use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity for us and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage. If you do not wish this procedure to take place, you must change the settings of your Internet browser on your computer. By using our website, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above.

Safety note

We expressly point out that the transmission of data on the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. We therefore cannot guarantee complete data security. We accept no liability for any damage caused by such security gaps. We recommend that you send confidential information by post.

Use of contact data Imprint

We hereby expressly prohibit the use of contact data published within the scope of the imprint obligation by third parties for sending unsolicited advertising and information material. The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam e-mails.

Disclaimer

Manuscript submissions

Please do not send us original manuscripts, but copies. We accept no liability for submitted manuscripts. If you wish your documents to be returned, please enclose sufficient return postage. If you do not wish your documents to be returned, we will destroy them in accordance with data protection regulations.

Limitation of liability for own content

All content on our website has been created with great care. However, we cannot guarantee that the content is correct, complete and up-to-date.

According to § 7 para. 1 TMG (German Telemedia Act), we are a service provider and therefore responsible for our own content on our pages; however, according to §§ 8 to 10 TMG, we are not obliged to monitor transmitted or stored third-party information. As soon as we become aware of a specific infringement, we will remove this content immediately. We are not liable before the point in time at which we become aware of the infringement.

Liability for external links/content

Our pages contain links to external third-party websites over whose content we have no influence. We do not accept any liability for this third-party content, and the respective provider or operator of the pages is always responsible for the content of the linked pages. At the time of linking to these third-party sites, they were checked for possible legal violations; no illegal content was recognizable at that time. However, constant monitoring of the content of the linked pages is not reasonable without concrete evidence of an infringement. As soon as we become aware of a specific infringement, we will remove the link immediately.
