PRIVACY POLICY
General information
The following information provides a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit our website. Personal data is all data with which you can be personally identified. Detailed information on the subject of data protection can be found in our privacy policy listed below this text.
§ 1 Content warning
The free and freely accessible contents of this website have been created with the greatest possible care. However, the provider of this website assumes no responsibility for the accuracy and timeliness of the free and freely accessible journalistic guides and news provided. Contributions identified by name reflect the opinion of the respective author and not always the opinion of the provider. No contractual relationship is established between the user and the provider simply by accessing the free and freely accessible content; in this respect, the provider’s intention to be legally bound is lacking.
§ 2 External links
This website contains links to third-party websites (“external links”). These websites are subject to the liability of the respective operators. When the external links were first created, the provider checked the external content for any legal violations. No legal violations were apparent at the time. The provider has no influence whatsoever on the current and future design and 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. It is not reasonable for the provider to constantly monitor the external links without concrete evidence of legal violations. However, such external links will be deleted immediately if we become aware of any legal infringements.
§ 3 Copyrights and ancillary copyrights
The content published on this website is subject to German copyright and ancillary copyright law. Any use not permitted by German copyright and ancillary copyright law requires the prior written consent of the provider or the respective rights holder. This applies in particular to the duplication, 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. The unauthorized reproduction or distribution of individual contents 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 presentation of this website in external frames is only permitted with written permission.
§ 4 Special terms of use
Insofar as special conditions for individual uses of this website deviate from the aforementioned paragraphs, this will be expressly indicated at the appropriate point. In this case, the special terms of use apply in each individual case.

This privacy policy also applies to our websites and social media profiles. With regard to the definition of terms such as “personal data” or “processing”, we refer to Art. 4 GDPR.

The data subjects are collectively referred to as “users.” Legal basis for the processing of personal data
Below we inform you about the legal basis for the processing of personal data:
If we have obtained your consent for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a) GDPR Legal basis.
If processing is necessary for the performance of a contract or in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract, Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b) GDPR Legal basis.
If the processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject (e.g. statutory retention obligations), Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. c) GDPR Legal basis.
If processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person, Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. d) GDPR Legal basis.
If processing is necessary to protect our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party and your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms do not override these interests, Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f) GDPR Legal basis.
Disclosure of personal data to third parties and processors
We do not pass on any data to third parties without your consent. Should this nevertheless be the case, the data will be passed on on the basis of the aforementioned legal bases, e.g. when passing on data to online payment providers to fulfill the contract or due to a court order or due to a legal obligation to hand over the data for the purpose of criminal prosecution, to avert danger or to enforce intellectual property rights.
We also use processors (external service providers, e.g. for web hosting of our websites and databases) to process your data. If data is passed on to processors as part of an agreement on order processing, this is always done in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. We select our processors carefully, check them regularly and have been granted the right to issue instructions regarding the data. In addition, the processors must have taken appropriate technical and organizational measures and comply with the data protection regulations in accordance with GDPR. Comply with BDSG new version and GDPR
The adoption of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has created a uniform basis for data protection in Europe. Your data is therefore mainly processed by companies to which the GDPR applies. However, if the processing is carried out by third parties outside the European Union or the European Economic Area, they must fulfill the special requirements of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR must be met. This means that processing takes place on the basis of special guarantees, such as the EU Commission’s officially recognized determination of a level of data protection corresponding to the EU or compliance with officially recognized special contractual obligations, the so-called “standard contractual clauses”. In the case of US companies, submission to the so-called “Privacy Shield”, the data protection agreement between the EU and the USA, fulfills these requirements.
Unless expressly stated in this privacy policy, your personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for which it was stored no longer applies, unless its continued storage is necessary for evidence purposes or if there are statutory retention obligations to the contrary. This includes, for example, commercial law obligations to retain business letters in accordance with Section 257 para. 1 HGB (6 years) as well as retention obligations under tax law pursuant to § 147 para. 1 AO of vouchers (10 years). If the prescribed retention period expires, your data will be blocked or deleted, unless the storage is still required for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.
Existence of automated decision-making
We do not use automated decision-making or profiling.
Provision of our website and creation of log files
If you only use our website for information purposes (i.e. no registration and no other transmission of information), we only collect the personal data that your browser transmits to our server. If you wish to view our website, we collect the following data: – IP address;
– Internet service provider of the user;
– Date and time of retrieval;
– Browser type;
– Language and browser version;
– Content of the retrieval;
– Time zone;
– Access status/HTTP status code;
– Amount of data;
– Websites from which the request comes;
– Operating system.
This data is not stored together with your other personal data.
This data serves the purpose of user-friendly, functional and secure delivery of our website to you with functions and content as well as their optimization and statistical evaluation. The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S.1 lit. f) GDPR. For security reasons, we store this data in server log files for a storage period of 365 days. After this period has expired, they are automatically deleted, unless we need to retain them for evidence purposes in the event of attacks on the server infrastructure or other legal violations.
We have integrated maps from “Google Maps” (Google Ireland Limited, Register No.: 368047, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) on our website. This allows us to display the location of addresses and directions directly on our website in interactive maps and enables you to use this tool.
When you access our website, where Google Maps is integrated, a connection to Google’s servers in the USA is established. Your IP and location may be transmitted to Google. Google also receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding page. This is also done without a Google user account. If you are logged into your Google account, Google can assign the above data to your account. If you do not wish to do this, you must log out of your Google account. Google creates user profiles from such data and uses this data for the purposes of advertising, market research or optimization of its websites.
The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S.1 lit. f) GDPR.
You have the right to object to the creation of user profiles by Google. Therefore, please contact Google directly via the privacy policy below. You can opt out of advertising cookies here in your Google account:

Google’s general privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy.
Google is certified in accordance with the EU-US Privacy Shield (https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework) and is therefore obliged to comply with European data protection law.
Insofar as the processing is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a), Art. 7 GDPR, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. This does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation.
Insofar as we base the processing of your personal data on the balancing of interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f) GDPR, you can object to the processing. This is the case if the processing is not required in particular to fulfill a contract with you, which is described by us in the following description of the functions. When exercising such an objection, we ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data as we have done. In the event of your justified objection, we will examine the situation and either discontinue or adapt the data processing or point out to you our compelling reasons worthy of protection on the basis of which we will continue the processing.
You can object to the processing of your personal data for advertising and data analysis purposes at any time. You can exercise your right to object free of charge. You can inform us of your objection to advertising using the following contact details:
