As new technologies and the continuous development of this website may result in changes to this privacy policy, we recommend that you read through the privacy policy again at regular intervals.<\/span> Definitions of the terms used (e.g. “personal data” or “processing”) can be found in Art. 4 GDPR.<\/span><\/p>\n The website operator collects, uses and discloses your personal data only if this is permitted by law or if you consent to the collection of data.<\/span> Personal data is any information that can be used to identify you and that can be traced back to you – for example, your name, e-mail address and telephone number.<\/span> You can also visit this website without providing any personal information. However, in order to improve our online offer, we store (without personal reference) your access data to this website. This access data includes, for example, the file you requested or the name of your Internet provider. Due to the anonymization of the data, it is not possible to draw conclusions about your person.<\/span> We, the website operator or page provider, collect data about accesses to the website based on our legitimate interest (see Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR) and store them as “server log files” on the website server.\u00a0<\/span> The following data is logged in this way:<\/span><\/p>\n The server log files are stored for a maximum of 7 days and then deleted. The data is stored for security reasons, e.g. to be able to clarify cases of misuse. If data must be retained for evidentiary reasons, it is exempt from deletion until the incident is finally resolved.<\/span><\/p>\n If it is possible for us or if it is not necessary to store the IP address, we will shorten your IP address or have it shortened. In the case of IP address shortening, also known as “IP masking”, the last octet, i.e., the last two numbers of an IP address, is deleted (in this context, the IP address is an identifier individually assigned to an Internet connection by the online access provider). The shortening of the IP address is intended to prevent or make it significantly more difficult to identify a person by their IP address.<\/span><\/p>\n For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses an SSL or SSL protocol. TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser address bar changes from “http:\/\/” to “https:\/\/” and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.<\/span> If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.<\/span><\/p>\n “Cookies” are small files that are stored on users’ computers. Different information can be stored within the cookies. The primary purpose of a cookie is to store information about a user (or the device on which the cookie is stored) during or after his visit within an online offer. Temporary cookies, or “session cookies” or “transient cookies”, are cookies that are deleted after a user leaves an online offer and closes his browser. In such a cookie, for example, the contents of a shopping cart in an online store or a login status can be stored. “Permanent” or “persistent” cookies are those that remain stored even after the browser is closed. For example, the login status can be saved when users visit them after several days. Likewise, such a cookie may store the interests of users, which are used for reach measurement or marketing purposes. Third-party cookies” are cookies that are offered by providers other than the responsible party that operates the online offer (otherwise, if they are only its cookies, they are referred to as “first-party cookies”).<\/span> We may use temporary and permanent cookies and explain this in our privacy policy.<\/span> If users do not want cookies to be stored on their computer, they are asked to disable the corresponding option in the system settings of their browser. Stored cookies can be deleted in the system settings of the browser. The exclusion of cookies may lead to functional restrictions of this online offer.<\/span> A general objection to the use of cookies used for online marketing purposes can be declared for a large number of the services, especially in the case of tracking, via the U.S. site<\/span>http:\/\/www.aboutads.info\/choices\/<\/span><\/a> or the EU site <\/span>http:\/\/www.youronlinechoices.com\/<\/span><\/a> .<\/span> Common browsers offer the setting option to not allow cookies. Note: It is not guaranteed that you will be able to access all the features of this website without restrictions if you make appropriate settings.<\/span><\/p>\n The legal basis on which we process your personal data using cookies depends on whether we ask for your consent. If this applies and you consent to the use of cookies, the legal basis for the processing of your data is the declared consent. Otherwise, the data processed with the help of cookies is processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g. in the business operation of our online offer and its improvement) or, if the use of cookies is necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations.<\/span><\/p>\n We have clearly informed you in the context of calling up the website that you can prevent the storage of certain cookies when visiting our website by clicking on the opt out function. To the extent that you have not done so, we will assume that you have consented to the use of cookies that you have not opted out of. You can revoke this consent at any time informally by simply sending an email to us or using the options below.<\/span> Insofar as you have not objected, our website uses your data within the scope of our legitimate interest in a technically flawless online offering and its economically efficient design and optimization in accordance with the German Data Protection Act. Art. 6 par. 1 lit. f GDPR and on the basis of your implied consent according to. Art 6 par. 1 lit. a GDPR cookies so that our offer can be used better, more effectively and more securely. Cookies are text files that are stored on your computer and store certain data about your user behavior on our site, so that, for example, an offer corresponding to your previous use can be made. These may be so-called “session cookies”, which are automatically deleted at the end of your visit to our website. However, there are also cookies that are permanently stored on your computer unless you delete them. It is then possible for us to recognize your browser the next time you visit our website and to make you offers that correspond to your previous use of our website.<\/span> Your browser allows you to prevent the use of cookies in whole or in individual cases. Please refer to the user manual of your browser for more information. You can also delete cookies, we have compiled some instructions here:<\/span> for Chrome: <\/b>https:\/\/support.google.com\/chrome\/answer\/95647?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=de<\/span><\/a> for Safari<\/b>: <\/span>https:\/\/support.apple.com\/de-de\/guide\/safari\/sfri11471\/mac<\/span><\/a> for<\/span> Firefox:<\/b> https:\/\/support.mozilla.org\/de\/kb\/cookies-loeschen-daten-von-websites-entfernen<\/span><\/a> for Edge:<\/b> https:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/de-de\/help\/17442\/windows-internet-explorer-delete-manage-cookies<\/span><\/a> for Internet Explorer: <\/b>https:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/de-de\/help\/278835\/how-to-delete-cookie-files-in-internet-explorer<\/span><\/a> Blocking cookies may limit the functionality of our website and other websites you visit.<\/span> You can permanently prevent cookies from being stored in your browser by downloading and installing the plugin linked below.

You can find the same offer on this <\/span>US website<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n For Cookie OptOut we use the WordPress PlugIn from Borlabs (<\/span>https:\/\/borlabs.io\/borlabs-cookie\/<\/span><\/a>) and you can make your settings here:<\/span> [borlabs-cookie type=”btn-cookie-preference” title=”Change settings” \/] \u00a0<\/p>\n The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:<\/span><\/p>\n This data is not merged with other data sources.<\/span> The collection of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of its website – for this purpose, the server log files must be recorded.<\/span><\/p>\n Comments and contributions: When users leave comments or other contributions, their IP addresses may be stored based on our legitimate interests. This is done for our security, in case someone leaves illegal content in comments and posts (insults, forbidden political propaganda, etc.). In this case, we ourselves may be prosecuted for the comment or post and are therefore interested in the identity of the author.<\/span> Furthermore, we reserve the right to process the user’s data for the purpose of spam detection on the basis of our legitimate interests.<\/span> On the same legal basis, in the case of surveys, we reserve the right to store the IP addresses of users for their duration and to use cookies to avoid multiple votes.<\/span> The personal information provided in the context of comments and contributions, any contact and website information as well as the content-related information will be stored permanently by us until the user objects.<\/span><\/p>\n We use the service “Akismet” based on our legitimate interests. With the help of Akismet, comments from real people are distinguished from spam comments. For this purpose, all comment data is sent to a server in the USA, where it is analyzed and stored for four days for comparison purposes. If a comment has been classified as spam, the data will be stored beyond this time. This information includes the name entered, the e-mail address, the IP address, the comment content, the referrer, information about the browser used as well as the computer system and the time of the entry.<\/span> Users are welcome to use pseudonyms or refrain from entering their name or email address. You can completely prevent the transfer of data by not using our commenting system. That would be a pity, but unfortunately we don’t see any alternatives that work just as effectively.<\/span><\/p>\n We use the service Gravatar within our online offer and especially in the blog.<\/span> Gravatar is a service where users can sign up and store profile pictures and their email addresses. If users leave posts or comments on other online presences (especially blogs) with the respective e-mail address, their profile pictures can be displayed next to the posts or comments. For this purpose, the email address provided by users is transmitted to Gravatar in encrypted form for the purpose of checking whether a profile is stored for it. This is the only purpose of the transmission of the e-mail address. It will not be used for other purposes, but will be deleted afterwards: The use of Gravatar is based on our legitimate interests, as we use Gravatar to offer post and comment authors the possibility to personalize their posts with a profile picture.<\/span> By displaying the images, Gravatar obtains the IP address of the users, as this is necessary for a communication between a browser and an online service.<\/span> If users do not want a user image associated with their Gravatar email address to appear in the comments, they should use an email address that is not on file with Gravatar to comment. We also point out that it is also possible to use an anonymous email address or no email address at all, if users do not want their own email address to be sent to Gravatar. Users can completely prevent the transfer of data by not using our commenting system.<\/span><\/p>\n Services used and service providers:<\/span><\/p>\n This website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”. These are text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n We have activated the IP anonymization function on this website. As a result, your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.<\/span><\/p>\n You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https:\/\/tools.google.com\/dlpage\/gaoptout?hl=de<\/span><\/p>\n You can prevent the collection of your data by Google Analytics by turning off cookies (see 4.2.).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n We have concluded an order data processing contract with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.<\/span><\/p>\n This website uses the “demographic characteristics” function of Google Analytics. This allows reports to be generated that contain statements about the age, gender and interests of site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising from Google as well as visitor data from third-party providers. This data cannot be assigned to a specific person. You can deactivate this function at any time via the ad settings in your Google account or generally prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics as shown in the item “Objection to data collection”.<\/span><\/p>\n Posts on this website may contain embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if the visitor had visited the other website.<\/span> These websites may collect information about you, use cookies, embed additional third party tracking services, and record your interaction with that embedded content, including your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged into that website.<\/span><\/p>\n In order to display my content correctly and graphically appealing across browsers, I use script libraries and font libraries on this website, such as Google Webfonts (<\/span>https:\/\/www.google.com\/webfonts\/<\/span><\/a>) or Font Awesome (<\/span>https:\/\/fontawesome.com\/<\/span><\/a>). These are transferred to your browser’s cache to avoid multiple loads. For example, if the browser does not support Google Web Fonts or prevents access, content is displayed in a default font. Calling script libraries or font libraries automatically triggers a connection to the operator of the library. It is theoretically possible – although it is currently unclear whether and, if so, for what purposes – for operators of such libraries to collect data.<\/span> The privacy policy of the library operator Google can be found here: <\/span>https:\/\/www.google.com\/policies\/privacy\/<\/span><\/a> Go to Font Awesome privacy policy: <\/span>https:\/\/fontawesome.com\/privacy<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (hereinafter “reCAPTCHA”) on our websites. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.<\/span> The purpose of reCAPTCHA is to verify whether data entry on our websites (e.g. in a contact form) is made by a human or by an automated program. For this purpose, reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of the website visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis starts automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. For analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g. IP address, time spent by the website visitor on the website or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google.<\/span> The reCAPTCHA analyses run completely in the background. Website visitors are not made aware that an analysis is taking place.<\/span> The data processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its web offerings from abusive automated spying and from SPAM.<\/span> For more information about Google reCAPTCHA and Google’s privacy policy, please see the following links: <\/span>https:\/\/policies.google.com\/privacy?hl=de<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>https:\/\/www.google.com\/recaptcha\/intro\/android.html<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n Plugins from social media are used on our pages (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Instagram, Pinterest, XING, LinkedIn, Tumblr).<\/span> You can usually recognize the plugins by the respective social media logos. To ensure data protection on our website, we only use these plugins together with the so-called “Shariff” solution. This application prevents the plug-ins integrated on our website from transmitting data to the respective provider when you first enter the page.<\/span> Only when you activate the respective plugin by clicking the associated button, a direct connection to the provider’s server is established (consent). As soon as you activate the plugin, the respective provider receives the information that you have visited our site with your IP address. If you are logged into your respective social media account (e.g. Facebook) at the same time, the respective provider can assign the visit to our pages to your user account.<\/span> Activating the plugin constitutes consent within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a of the GDPR. You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future.<\/span><\/p>\n Plugins of the social network Facebook, provider Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA, are integrated on our pages.
