Private Policy

What personal data I collect and why I collect it.

Data protection

I do take the protection of your personal data very seriously. I treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

The use of my website is usually possible without providing personal information. As far as on my sides personal data (i.e. address or E-Mail addresses) are raised, this takes place, as far as possible, always on voluntary basis. These data will not be disclosed to third parties without your explicit consent.

Please note that data transmission over the Internet (i.e. when communicating via e-mail) may have security vulnerabilities. A complete protection of the data from access by third parties is not possible.

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 I 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 me 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 enable the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Server Log-Files

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:

  • Browser type and browser version
  • Used operating system
  • Referrer URL
  • Host name of the accessing computer
  • Time of the server request

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

Privacy Policy for the Use of Google Fonts

This website uses functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics. Provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

I do use external fonts from Google, https://www.google.com/fonts (Google Fonts). The integration of Google fonts is done by a server call on Google (usually in the US). Google’s privacy policy can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy. You also have the option to opt out of using Google Fonts at https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated.

Opposition to Data Collection

You can prevent the collection of your data by Google Analytics by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set which prevents the collection of your data on future visits to this website: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

Browser Plugin

You can prevent the storage of cookies by a corresponding setting of your browser software; however, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use all the features of this website to the fullest extent possible. In addition, you may prevent the collection by Google of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading the browser plug-in available under the following link and install: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en

IP Anonymization

I 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 reports about 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 reasons and to protect the transmission of sensitive content, such as the requests you send to me as the site operator. An encrypted connection is indicated by the browser’s address bar switching from “http: //” to “https: //” and the lock icon in your browser bar. When SSL encryption is enabled, the data you enter can be changed forwarded to us, not be read by third parties.

Rights of Users

Users have the right, upon request, to obtain information about the personal data stored about them free of charge. In addition, users have the right to correct inaccurate data, restrict the processing and deletion of their personal data, if applicable, to assert your rights to data portability and, in the event of unlawful processing, to file a complaint with the appropriate regulatory authority. Likewise, users can revoke consent (basically with implications for the future).

Deletion of Data

Stored data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for their intended purpose and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory storage requirements. Unless the users’ data are deleted because they are required for other and legally permitted purposes, their processing will be restricted. That is, the data is locked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data of users who must be kept for commercial or tax reasons.

According to legal requirements, storage takes place for 7 years (trading books, inventories, opening balance sheets, annual accounts, trade letters, accounting documents, etc.) and for 10 years pursuant (books, records, management reports, Accounting documents, commercial and business letters, documents relevant for taxation, etc.).

Right to Object

Users may object to the processing of their personal data in accordance with legal requirements at any time. The objection may in particular be made against processing for direct marketing purposes.

Changes to the Privacy Policy

The amendment to this privacy policy is subject to change in order to adapt it to changed legal situations or to changes in the service and data processing. However, this only applies to declarations of data processing. If user consent is required or if elements of the privacy policy contain provisions of the contractual relationship with the users, the changes will only be made with the consent of the users. Users are asked to keep up to date with the content of the privacy policy.

Legal Notice

I point out that information on this website may contain technical inaccuracies or typographical errors.
