The legal basis for data protection is contained in the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the Telemedia Act (TMG).
Access Data/Server Log Files
The provider (or his web space provider) collects data about each access to the offer (so-called server logfiles). The access data includes:
Name of the website accessed, file, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, browser type and version, user’s operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address and the requesting provider.
The provider uses the log data only for statistical evaluations for the purpose of operation, security and optimization of the offer. However, the provider reserves the right to check the log data at a later date if there is a justified suspicion of illegal use based on concrete indications.
Handling of personal data
Personal data is information that can be used to identify a person, i. e. information that can be traced back to a person. This includes your name, email address or telephone number. Personal data also includes information about preferences, hobbies, memberships or which websites have been viewed by someone else.
Personal data will only be collected, used and passed on by the provider if this is permitted by law or if the user consents to the data collection.
establishment of contact
When contacting the provider (e. g. via contact form or e-mail) the user’s details are stored for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions.
Commentary subscriptions
The follow-up comments can be subscribed by users. The users will receive a confirmation email to verify that they are the owner of the entered email address. Users can unsubscribe from current commentary subscriptions at any time. The confirmation email will contain information about this.
Newsletter
With the newsletter we inform you about us and our offers.
If you would like to receive the newsletter, we require a valid email address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided or that its owner agrees to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected. This data will only be used for sending the newsletter and will not be passed on to third parties.
With the registration for the newsletter we save your IP address and the date of registration. This storage serves solely to prove that a third party misuses an email address and registers for receiving the newsletter without the consent of the authorised person.
You can revoke your consent to the storage of your data, the e-mail address and its use for sending the newsletter at any time. The revocation can be made via a link in the newsletters themselves, in your profile area or by sending a message to the above-mentioned contact possibilities.
Integration of services and third-party content
It is possible that third party content, such as videos from YouTube, maps from Google Maps, RSS feeds or graphics from other websites may be included in this online offer. This always presupposes that the providers of this content (hereinafter referred to as “third party providers”) perceive the IP address of the users. Without the IP address, they would not be able to send the content to the browser of the respective user. The IP address is therefore required for the presentation of this content. We make every effort to use only those contents whose respective providers use the IP address solely for the delivery of the contents. However, we have no influence on it if the third-party providers store the IP address, e. g. for statistical purposes. As far as we are aware of this, we inform the users about it.

Cookies “, text files that are stored on the user’s computer and that allow an analysis of the website’s use by the user. The information generated by the cookie about the use of this website by users is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
However, in the event of activation of IP anonymization on this website, the IP address of Google’s users will be previously truncated within Member States of the European Union or in other contracting states of the European Economic Area Agreement.

Using Facebook Social Plugins
This offer uses social plugins (“Plugins”) of the social network facebook. com, which is operated by Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook”). The plugins are recognizable by one of the Facebook logos (white “f” on a blue tile, the words “Like”,”Like” or a “Thumb up” sign) or are marked with the addition “Facebook Social Plugin”. The list and the appearance of the Facebook social plugins can be viewed here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.
When a user accesses a website that contains such a plugin, his or her browser establishes a direct connection to Facebook’s servers. The content of the plugin is sent directly from Facebook to your browser and integrated into the website by your browser. The provider therefore has no influence on the amount of data that Facebook collects with the help of this plug-in and therefore informs the user according to his knowledge:
By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives the information that a user has called up the corresponding page of the offer. If the user is logged in to Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to his Facebook account. When users interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the Like button or by submitting a comment, the relevant information is sent directly from your browser to Facebook and stored there. If a user is not a member of Facebook, there is still the possibility that Facebook can find out his IP address and save it. According to Facebook, only one anonymous IP address is stored in Germany.
The purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook, as well as the rights and options for privacy protection, can be found in Facebook’s privacy policy: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.
If a user is a Facebook member and does not want Facebook to collect information about him or her about this offer and associate it with his or her Facebook membership data, he or she must log out of Facebook before visiting the website. Further settings and contradictions regarding the use of data for advertising purposes are possible within the Facebook profile settings: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads.
Revocation, changes, corrections and updates
The user has the right to request free information on the personal data stored about him/her. In addition, the user has the right to correct incorrect data, block and delete his/her personal data, as long as there is no legal obligation to retain them.
