Liability for content
As a service provider we are responsible according to § 7 Abs.1 TMG for the content on this site according to the general law. According to §§ 8 to 10 TMG, however, we as a service provider are not obliged to monitor transmitted or stored external information or to investigate circumstances that indicate illegal activity.

Obligations to remove or block the use of information under general law remain unaffected. A liability in this regard, however, is only possible from the date of knowledge of a specific infringement. Upon notification of appropriate violations, we will remove this content immediately.

Liability for links
Our website contains links to external websites of third parties on whose contents we have no influence. Therefore, we can not assume any liability for this external content. The respective provider or operator of the pages is always responsible for the contents of the linked pages. The linked pages were checked for possible legal violations at the time of linking. Illegal content was not recognizable at the time of linking. However, a permanent content control of the linked pages is not reasonable without concrete evidence of an infringement. Upon notification of violations, we will remove such links immediately.

The reproduction, processing, distribution and any kind of exploitation outside the limits of copyright require the written consent of the respective author or creator.

Cookies
The internet pages partly use so-called cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our offer more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and stored by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies”. They are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser the next time you visit.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases, the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or generally exclude and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

This data can not be assigned to specific persons. A merge of this data with other data sources will not be done. We reserve the right to check this data retrospectively, if we become aware of specific indications for illegal use.

We use the function “Activation of IP anonymization” on this website. As a result, your IP address will be truncated by Google beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address provided by Google Analytics as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

SSL encryption
This site uses SSL encryption for security purposes and to protect the transmission of sensitive content, such as the requests you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by changing the address line of the browser from “http: //” to “https: //” and the lock symbol in your browser line. If SSL encryption is enabled, the data you submit to us can not be read by third parties.

At any time you have the right to free information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipient and the purpose of the data processing and a right to correct, block or delete this data.

Social networks
On our website you can find links to external social networks Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Xing. The functions assigned to the links, in particular the transmission of information and user data, are not activated by visiting our website, but by clicking on the links. After clicking on these links, the plugins of the corresponding networks are activated and your browser establishes a direct connection to their servers.

If you click on the links while visiting our website, your user data may be transmitted to the relevant network and processed by the network. If you click on the links while visiting our website and at the same time you are logged into the network through your personal account, the information that you have visited our website can be forwarded to the network and stored there in connection with your account. In order to prevent an assignment to your account with the appropriate network, you must log out of your account before clicking on the link.

The purpose and scope of the data collection through the social networks as well as the further processing and use of your data as well as your related rights and setting options to protect your privacy, please refer to the privacy policy of the respective network. For the data processing, which starts with clicking on the link, only the respective social network is responsible.
