Liability for Content

As a service provider, we are responsible under §7 (1) of the German Telemedia Act (TMG) for our own content on these pages according to general laws.
However, under §§8 to 10 TMG, we are not obliged as a service provider to monitor transmitted or stored external information or to investigate circumstances that indicate unlawful activity.

Obligations to remove or block the use of information in accordance with general laws remain unaffected. Liability in this regard is, however, only possible from the time of knowledge of a specific infringement. If we become aware of any such violations, we will remove the content immediately.

Liability for Links

Our website contains links to external third-party websites over whose content we have no control. Therefore, we cannot assume any responsibility for these external contents.
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 the link was created. Unlawful content was not recognizable at that time.

Permanent monitoring of the content of linked pages is not reasonable without specific evidence of a violation. If we become aware of any infringements, we will remove such links immediately.

The content and works created by the site operators on these pages are subject to German copyright law.
Duplication, processing, distribution, or any form of use beyond the limits of copyright law require the written consent of the respective author or creator. Downloads and copies of this site are permitted only for private, non-commercial use.

Where 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 violations, such content will be removed immediately.

We take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

The use of our website is generally possible without providing personal data. Where personal data (for example, name, address, or email address) is collected on our site, this is always done on a voluntary basis where possible. Such data will not be shared with third parties without your express consent.

Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g., via email communication) may have security gaps. Complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible.

Our website uses the analytics service etracker (provider: etracker GmbH, Erste Brunnenstraße 1, 20459 Hamburg, Germany).
Usage profiles can be created under a pseudonym from the collected data. Cookies may be used for this purpose — small text files stored in your browser’s temporary cache. Cookies allow your browser to be recognized.

Data collected with etracker technologies will not be used to personally identify visitors without explicit consent, nor will it be combined with personal data about the bearer of the pseudonym.

You may object to the collection and storage of your data at any time with effect for the future. To do so, you can obtain an opt-out cookie from etracker via the following link, which prevents your browser’s data from being collected in the future:

An opt-out cookie called “cntcookie” will be set by etracker. Please do not delete this cookie if you wish to maintain your objection.

Our website integrates plugins from the social network Facebook (provider: Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA).
You can recognize the Facebook plugins by the Facebook logo or the “Like” button on our site.

When you visit our pages, a direct connection is established between your browser and the Facebook server via the plugin. Facebook receives information that your IP address has visited our site.
If you click the “Like” button while logged into your Facebook account, you can link our site’s content to your Facebook profile. This allows Facebook to associate your visit with your user account.

We have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or how Facebook uses it.
For more information, please see Facebook’s privacy policy:

If you do not want Facebook to associate your visit with your user account, log out of Facebook before visiting our website.

Our website may use social plugins from Google+, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Tumblr, and Twitter.
Each of these services receives information when you interact with their respective buttons or visit pages that include their plugins.
We have no control over the data that these providers collect and process.
