§1 Warning Notice Regarding Content

The free and publicly accessible content of this website has been created with the greatest possible care. However, the provider of this website does not guarantee the accuracy or timeliness of the free and publicly accessible journalistic guides and news provided. Contributions identified by name reflect the opinion of the respective author and not necessarily the opinion of the provider. Merely accessing the free and publicly accessible content does not establish any contractual relationship between the user and the provider, as there is no intention to create a legally binding relationship on the part of the provider.

 

§2 External Links

This website contains links to third-party websites ("external links"). These websites are subject to the liability of their respective operators. When the external links were first created, the provider checked the third-party content for any legal violations. At that time, no legal violations were apparent. The provider has no influence on the current and future design or on the content of the linked pages. The inclusion of external links does not mean that the provider adopts the content behind the reference or link as its own. Continuous monitoring of external links is not reasonable for the provider without concrete evidence of legal violations. However, upon becoming aware of legal violations, such external links will be removed immediately.

 

§3 Copyright and Related Rights

The content published on this website is subject to German copyright and related rights law. Any use not permitted by German copyright and related rights law requires the prior written consent of the provider or the respective rights holder. This applies in particular to reproduction, editing, translation, storage, processing, or reproduction of content in databases or other electronic media and systems. Third-party content and rights are identified as such. Unauthorized reproduction or distribution of individual content or complete pages is not permitted and is punishable by law. Only the production of copies and downloads for personal, private, and non-commercial use is permitted.

The display of this website in external frames is only permitted with written authorization.

 

§4 Privacy

The provider expressly points out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., communication by email) may have security gaps and cannot be completely protected against access by third parties.

The use of contact data published in the legal notice for commercial advertising is expressly not desired unless the provider has previously given written consent or a business relationship already exists. The provider and all persons named on this website hereby object to any commercial use and disclosure of their data.

Personal Data

You can visit our website without providing personal data. Where personal data (such as name, address, or email address) is collected on our pages, this is done on a voluntary basis wherever possible. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your explicit consent. If a contractual relationship between you and us is to be established, defined, or modified, or if you send us an inquiry, we collect and use your personal data to the extent necessary for these purposes (inventory data). We collect, process, and use personal data to the extent necessary to enable you to use the web service (usage data). All personal data will only be stored for as long as necessary for the stated purpose (processing your request or executing a contract). In doing so, tax and commercial law retention periods are taken into account. Upon order of the competent authorities, we may provide information about this data (inventory data) in individual cases, insofar as this is necessary for the purposes of criminal prosecution, hazard prevention, fulfillment of the legal duties of constitutional protection authorities or the Military Counterintelligence Service, or for the enforcement of intellectual property rights.

Comment Functions

We collect personal data in the context of publishing content or commenting on an article or post only to the extent that it is provided by you. When a comment is published, the email address you provide is stored but not published. Your name will be published if you have not used a pseudonym.

Privacy Policy for Cookies

So-called cookies are used to recognize repeated use of our offer by the same user. Cookies are small text files that your Internet browser stores on your computer. When you revisit our website, these cookies provide information to automatically recognize you. The information obtained in this way is used to optimize our offerings and provide you with easier access to our website.

You can generally prevent the storage of cookies on your hard drive by selecting "do not accept cookies" in your browser settings. However, this may result in limited functionality of our offerings.

Right to Information

You have the right at any time to obtain information about the data collected about you free of charge and without delay. You also have the right at any time to revoke your consent to the use of your personal data with effect for the future. To obtain information, please contact the provider using the contact details provided in the legal notice.
