- Data Protection
A visit to our website can result in the storage of information about the access (date, time, page accessed) on our server. This does not represent any analysis of personal data (e.g., name, address, or email address). If personal data are collected, this only occurs – to the extent possible – with the prior consent of the website user.
We would like to expressly point out that data transmission via the Internet (e.g., by email) can offer security vulnerabilities. Therefore, it is impossible to safeguard the data against third-party access. We cannot assume any liability for damages arising from such security vulnerabilities.
The use by third parties of all published contact details for advertising is expressly excluded. We reserve the right to take legal steps in the case of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, e.g., using spam mail.
- Facebook Plugin
Our website uses social plugins (“plugins”) provided by the social network facebook.com, operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). The plugins are identifiable by a Facebook logo (white letter “f” on a blue background or a thumb-up icon) or the notice “Facebook Social Plugin.” For a complete list of all social Plugins, please see http://developers.facebook.com/plugins.
When you visit our website page containing a social plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to Facebook servers. Facebook directly transfers the plugin content to your browser, which embeds the latter into the website, enabling Facebook to receive information about your having accessed the respective page of our website. Thus we do not influence the data gathered by the plugin and inform you according to our state of knowledge:
The embedded plugins provide Facebook with the information you accessed on our website’s corresponding page. If you are logged into Facebook, your visit can be assigned to your account. If you interact with the plugins, for example, by clicking “Like” or entering a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted from your browser directly to Facebook and stored by it. Even if you are not logged into Facebook, there is a possibility that the plugins share your I.P. address with Facebook.
For information on the purpose and scope of data collection and procession by Facebook, as well as your rights in this respect and settings options for protecting your privacy, please visit Facebook’s privacy policy.
If you are a Facebook member and do not want Facebook to connect the data concerning your visit to our website with your member data already stored by Facebook, please log off Facebook before entering our website.

It explicitly refers its users to the following Google data privacy statement: “This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (‘Google’). Google Analytics uses ‘cookies,’ text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how visitors use the site. The cookie-generated information about your use of this website will generally be transmitted to and stored by Google on a server. Suppose I.P. anonymization (‘masking’) has been activated on this website, and you are located in a member state of the European Union or another condition that is a party to the European Economic Area (EEA) Agreement. In that case, your I.P. address will first be abbreviated by Google, the full I.P. address only being transmitted to a Google server in the USA in exceptional cases before being shortened there. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide the website operator with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The I.P. address transmitted from your browser by Google Analytics will not be associated with any other data held by Google. 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. Moreover, you can prevent the data that the cookie generates on your use of the website (including your I.P. address) from being acquired and processed by Google by downloading and installing the Opt-out Browser Add-on from the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.
- Google Adsense
This website uses Google Adsense, a Web-advertising service of Google Inc., United States (“Google”). Google Adsense uses “cookies” (text files) that are stored on your computer and allows an analysis of the use of the website by you. Google Adsense also uses so-called “web beacons” (small invisible images) to gather information. Simple actions, such as visitor traffic to the website, can be recorded and collected using Web beacons.

- Google +1
The collection and dissemination of data: The Google +1 button allows you to share information publicly with the world. The Google +1 button helps you and others receive personalized content from Google and our partners. The fact that you +1’d something will be recorded by Google, along with information about the page you viewed when you clicked the +1 button. Your +1s may appear to others as an annotation with your profile name and photo in Google services (such as in search results or on your Google Profile) or elsewhere on websites and ads. Google is recording information about your +1 activity to give you and other users a better experience on Google services. To use the Google +1 button, you need to have a public Google Profile visible to the world, which at a minimum, includes the name you chose for the profile. That name will be used across Google services and, in some cases, may replace another name you’ve used when sharing content under your Google Account. Google may display your Google Profile identity to people with your email address or other identifying information.
Use of the collected information: Besides the above-described benefits, the information you provide to Google is subject to Google’s main Privacy Policy. Google may share aggregate statistics related to users’ +1 activity with the public, their users, and partners, such as publishers, advertisers, or related sites. For example, they may tell a publisher that “10% of the people who +1’d this page are in Tacoma, Washington.”
Functions from Twitter services are integrated into our web pages. Twitter Inc. offers these functions at 795 Folsom St., Suite 600, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. Using Twitter and the function “Retweet,” the webpages you visit will be linked with your Twitter account and made public to other users. Information is also transmitted to Twitter in this way.
We want to point out that we, as website providers, do not receive information about the contents of the transmitted data or their use by Twitter. For more information, please see Twitter’s privacy statement.
You can change your privacy protection settings for Twitter in your account settings at http://twitter.com/account/settings.
