Liability for content

As a ser­vice provider we are respon­si­ble accord­ing to § 7 Abs.1 TMG for own con­tents on these sides accord­ing to the gen­er­al laws. 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. How­ev­er, lia­bil­i­ty in this regard is only pos­si­ble from the moment of knowl­edge of a spe­cif­ic infringe­ment. Upon noti­fi­ca­tion of appro­pri­ate vio­la­tions, we will remove this con­tent imme­di­ate­ly.

Liability for links

Our offer con­tains links to exter­nal web­sites of third par­ties on whose con­tents we have no influ­ence. There­fore we can not assume any lia­bil­i­ty for these exter­nal con­tents. The con­tent of the linked pages is always the respon­si­bil­i­ty of the respec­tive provider or oper­a­tor of the 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 a vio­la­tion of law. Upon noti­fi­ca­tion of vio­la­tions, we will remove such links imme­di­ate­ly.

copyright

The con­tent and works on these pages cre­at­ed by the site oper­a­tors are sub­ject to Ger­man copy­right law. The dupli­ca­tion, pro­cess­ing, dis­tri­b­u­tion and any kind of exploita­tion out­side the lim­its of copy­right require the writ­ten con­sent of the respec­tive author or cre­ator. Down­loads and copies of this site are for pri­vate, non-com­mer­cial use only. As far as the con­tents on this side were not cre­at­ed by the oper­a­tor, the copy­rights of third par­ties are con­sid­ered. In par­tic­u­lar con­tents of third par­ties are marked as such. Should you still be aware of a copy­right infringe­ment, we ask for a note. Upon noti­fi­ca­tion of vio­la­tions, we will remove such con­tent imme­di­ate­ly.

Data protection:

data protection

The oper­a­tors of these pages take the pro­tec­tion of your per­son­al data very seri­ous­ly. We treat your per­son­al data con­fi­den­tial­ly and in accor­dance with the statu­to­ry data pro­tec­tion reg­u­la­tions and this pri­va­cy pol­i­cy.
The use of our web­site is usu­al­ly pos­si­ble with­out pro­vid­ing per­son­al data. If an affect­ed per­son wish­es to use spe­cial ser­vices via the web­site, per­son­al data may be required to be processed. If the pro­cess­ing of per­son­al data is required and there is no legal basis for such pro­cess­ing, we gen­er­al­ly seek the con­sent of the data sub­ject. As far as on our sides per­son­al data (for exam­ple name, address or E‑Mail address­es) are raised, this takes place, as far as pos­si­ble, always on frei­williger basis. These data will not be dis­closed to third par­ties with­out your explic­it con­sent.
We point out that the data trans­mis­sion in the Inter­net (eg in the com­mu­ni­ca­tion by E‑Mail) can exhib­it secu­ri­ty gaps. A com­plete pro­tec­tion of the data from access by third par­ties is not pos­si­ble.

definitions

The pri­va­cy state­ment is based on the ter­mi­nol­o­gy used by the Euro­pean leg­is­la­ture and leg­is­la­ture in the adop­tion of the Gen­er­al Data Pro­tec­tion Reg­u­la­tion (DS-GVO). The pri­va­cy pol­i­cy on this blog should be easy to read and under­stand. To ensure this, we would like to explain in advance the ter­mi­nol­o­gy used.

Among oth­er things, we use the fol­low­ing terms in this pri­va­cy pol­i­cy:

  • a) per­son­al data

Per­son­al data means any infor­ma­tion relat­ing to an iden­ti­fied or iden­ti­fi­able nat­ur­al per­son (here­inafter the “data sub­ject”). A nat­ur­al per­son is con­sid­ered to be iden­ti­fi­able who, direct­ly or indi­rect­ly, in par­tic­u­lar by asso­ci­a­tion with an iden­ti­fi­er such as a name, an iden­ti­fi­ca­tion num­ber, loca­tion data, an online iden­ti­fi­er or one or more spe­cial fea­tures, express­es the phys­i­cal, phys­i­o­log­i­cal, genet­ic, men­tal, eco­nom­ic, cul­tur­al or social iden­ti­ty of this nat­ur­al per­son can be iden­ti­fied.

  • b) the per­son con­cerned

Affect­ed per­son is any iden­ti­fied or iden­ti­fi­able nat­ur­al per­son whose per­son­al data is processed by the con­troller.

  • c) pro­cess­ing

Pro­cess­ing means any process or series of oper­a­tions relat­ed to per­son­al data, such as col­lect­ing, cap­tur­ing, orga­niz­ing, orga­niz­ing, stor­ing, adapt­ing or mod­i­fy­ing, read­ing out, query­ing, using, with or with­out the aid of auto­mat­ed pro­ce­dures; dis­clo­sure through sub­mis­sion, dis­sem­i­na­tion or any oth­er form of pro­vi­sion, rec­on­cil­i­a­tion or asso­ci­a­tion, restric­tion, era­sure or destruc­tion.

  • d) Restric­tion of pro­cess­ing

Restric­tion of the pro­cess­ing is the mark­ing of stored per­son­al data with the aim to lim­it their future pro­cess­ing.

  • e) pro­fil­ing

Pro­fil­ing is any type of auto­mat­ed pro­cess­ing of per­son­al data that involves the use of such per­son­al infor­ma­tion to eval­u­ate cer­tain per­son­al aspects relat­ing to a nat­ur­al per­son, in par­tic­u­lar aspects relat­ing to job per­for­mance, eco­nom­ic sit­u­a­tion, health, per­son­al To ana­lyze or pre­dict pref­er­ences, inter­ests, reli­a­bil­i­ty, behav­ior, where­abouts, or relo­ca­tion of that nat­ur­al per­son.

  • f) Pseu­do­nymi­sa­tion

Pseu­do­nymi­sa­tion is the pro­cess­ing of per­son­al data in such a way that per­son­al data can no longer be attrib­uted to a spe­cif­ic data sub­ject with­out the need for addi­tion­al infor­ma­tion, pro­vid­ed that such addi­tion­al infor­ma­tion is kept sep­a­rate and sub­ject to tech­ni­cal and orga­ni­za­tion­al mea­sures to ensure that the per­son­al data not assigned to an iden­ti­fied or iden­ti­fi­able nat­ur­al per­son.

  • (g) con­troller or con­troller

The con­troller or con­troller is the nat­ur­al or legal per­son, pub­lic author­i­ty, body or body that, alone or in con­cert with oth­ers, decides on the pur­pos­es and means of pro­cess­ing per­son­al data. Where the pur­pos­es and means of such pro­cess­ing are deter­mined by Union law or the law of the Mem­ber States, the con­troller or the spe­cif­ic cri­te­ria for his des­ig­na­tion may be pro­vid­ed for under Union or nation­al law.

  • h) proces­sor

A proces­sor is a nat­ur­al or legal per­son, pub­lic author­i­ty, body or body that process­es per­son­al data on behalf of the con­troller.

  • i) receiv­er

Recip­i­ent is a nat­ur­al or legal per­son, agency, agency or oth­er enti­ty to whom Per­son­al Data is dis­closed, whether or not it is a third par­ty. How­ev­er, author­i­ties which may receive per­son­al data under Union or nation­al law in con­nec­tion with a par­tic­u­lar mis­sion are not con­sid­ered to be ben­e­fi­cia­ries.

  • j) third par­ties

Third is a nat­ur­al or legal per­son, pub­lic author­i­ty, body or body oth­er than the data sub­ject, the con­troller, the proces­sor and the per­sons autho­rized under the direct respon­si­bil­i­ty of the con­troller or proces­sor to process the per­son­al data.

  • k) Con­sent

Con­sent is any expres­sion of will vol­un­tar­i­ly and unam­bigu­ous­ly giv­en by the data sub­ject in the form of a state­ment or oth­er unam­bigu­ous con­fir­ma­to­ry act express­ing to the data sub­ject that they con­sent to the pro­cess­ing of the per­son­al data con­cern­ing them is.

cookies

These web­sites use cook­ies. Cook­ies are text files that are stored and stored on a com­put­er sys­tem via an Inter­net brows­er.

Many web­sites and servers use cook­ies. Many cook­ies con­tain a so-called cook­ie ID. A cook­ie ID is a unique iden­ti­fi­er of the cook­ie. It con­sists of a string through which Inter­net pages and servers can be assigned to the spe­cif­ic Inter­net brows­er in which the cook­ie was stored. This allows vis­it­ed web­sites and servers to dis­tin­guish the individual’s brows­er from oth­er Inter­net browsers that con­tain oth­er cook­ies. A par­tic­u­lar Inter­net brows­er can be rec­og­nized and iden­ti­fied by the unique cook­ie ID.

Through the use of cook­ies, the users of this web­site can be pro­vid­ed a user-friend­ly ser­vice that would not be pos­si­ble with­out the cook­ie set­ting.

By means of a cook­ie the infor­ma­tion and offers on our web­site can be opti­mized in the sense of the user. Cook­ies allow us, as already men­tioned, to rec­og­nize the users of our web­site. The pur­pose of this recog­ni­tion is to make it eas­i­er for users to use our web­site. For exam­ple, the user of a web­site that uses cook­ies need not reen­ter their cre­den­tials every time they vis­it the web­site because this is done by the web­site and the cook­ie stored on the user’s com­put­er sys­tem. Anoth­er exam­ple is the cook­ie of a shop­ping cart in the online shop. The online shop remem­bers the items that a cus­tomer has placed in the vir­tu­al shop­ping cart via a cook­ie.

The data sub­ject can pre­vent the set­ting of cook­ies through our web­site at any time by means of a cor­re­spond­ing set­ting of the Inter­net brows­er used and thus per­ma­nent­ly con­tra­dict the set­ting of cook­ies. Fur­ther­more, already set cook­ies can be delet­ed at any time via an inter­net brows­er or oth­er soft­ware pro­grams. This is pos­si­ble in all com­mon inter­net browsers. If the data sub­ject deac­ti­vates the set­ting of cook­ies in the Inter­net brows­er used, not all func­tions of our web­site may be ful­ly usable.

Collection of general data and information

This web­site col­lects a series of gen­er­al data and infor­ma­tion each time the web­site is accessed by an affect­ed per­son or an auto­mat­ed sys­tem. This gen­er­al data and infor­ma­tion is stored in the log files of the serv­er. The (1) brows­er types and ver­sions used, (2) the oper­at­ing sys­tem used by the access­ing sys­tem, (3) the web­site from which an access­ing sys­tem access­es our web­site (so-called refer­rers), (4) the sub-web pages, which can be accessed via (5) the date and time of access to the web­site, (6) an Inter­net Pro­to­col (IP) address, (7) the Inter­net ser­vice provider of the access­ing sys­tem and (8) oth­er sim­i­lar data and infor­ma­tion used in the event of attacks on our infor­ma­tion tech­nol­o­gy sys­tems.

When using this gen­er­al data and infor­ma­tion, the oper­a­tor does not draw any con­clu­sions about the data sub­ject. Rather, this infor­ma­tion is required to (1) cor­rect­ly deliv­er the con­tents of our web­site, (2) to opti­mize the con­tent of our web­site and to adver­tise it, (3) to ensure the con­tin­ued func­tion­ing of our infor­ma­tion tech­nol­o­gy sys­tems and the tech­nol­o­gy of our web­site, and ( 4) to pro­vide law enforce­ment author­i­ties with the nec­es­sary infor­ma­tion for pros­e­cu­tion in case of a cyber­at­tack. This anony­mous­ly col­lect­ed data and infor­ma­tion are there­fore eval­u­at­ed by the oper­a­tor on the one hand sta­tis­ti­cal­ly and fur­ther with the aim of increas­ing data pro­tec­tion and data secu­ri­ty in order to ulti­mate­ly ensure an opti­mal lev­el of pro­tec­tion for the per­son­al data processed by us. The anony­mous data of the serv­er log files are stored sep­a­rate­ly from all per­son­al data pro­vid­ed by an affect­ed per­son.

Comments in the blog on the website

The oper­a­tor offers users on this blog, which is locat­ed on the web­site of the con­troller, the oppor­tu­ni­ty to leave indi­vid­ual com­ments on indi­vid­ual blog posts. A blog is a web-based, usu­al­ly pub­lic-acces­si­ble por­tal in which one or more peo­ple who are called blog­gers or web blog­gers can post arti­cles or write down thoughts in so-called blog posts. The blog posts can usu­al­ly be com­ment­ed on by third par­ties.

If an affect­ed per­son leaves a com­ment in the blog pub­lished on this web­site, not only the com­ments left by the per­son con­cerned, but also infor­ma­tion on the time of the com­men­tary input and the user­name (pseu­do­nym) cho­sen by the per­son con­cerned are stored and pub­lished. Fur­ther­more, the IP address assigned by the Inter­net ser­vice provider (ISP) of the data sub­ject is also logged. This stor­age of the IP address is made for secu­ri­ty rea­sons and in the event that the data sub­ject vio­lates the rights of third par­ties or posts unlaw­ful con­tents by sub­mit­ting a com­ment. The stor­age of such per­son­al data is there­fore in the own inter­est of the con­troller, so that in the event of a breach of the law, it may be excus­able. There is no dis­clo­sure of this per­son­al data to third par­ties, unless such dis­clo­sure is not required by law or the legal defense of the con­troller.

Subscribe to comments in the blog on the website

The com­ments made in the blog can basi­cal­ly be sub­scribed to by third par­ties. In par­tic­u­lar, there is the pos­si­bil­i­ty that a com­men­ta­tor sub­scribes to the com­ments fol­low­ing a com­ment on a par­tic­u­lar blog post.

If an affect­ed per­son choos­es to sub­scribe to com­ments, the con­troller will send an auto­mat­ic con­fir­ma­tion email to dou­ble-check whether the own­er of the spec­i­fied email address for them Option has decid­ed. The option to sub­scribe to com­ments can be end­ed at any time.

Routine deletion and blocking of personal data

The con­troller process­es and stores per­son­al data of the data sub­ject only for the peri­od nec­es­sary to achieve the pur­pose of the stor­age or, if so required by the Euro­pean direc­tives and reg­u­la­tions or any oth­er leg­is­la­tor in laws or reg­u­la­tions, that of the con­troller sub­ject to was pro­vid­ed.

If the stor­age pur­pose is omit­ted or if a stor­age peri­od pre­scribed by the Euro­pean direc­tives and reg­u­la­tions or any oth­er rel­e­vant leg­is­la­ture expires, the per­son­al data will be rou­tine­ly blocked or delet­ed in accor­dance with the statu­to­ry pro­vi­sions.

Rights of the data subject

  • a) Right to con­fir­ma­tion

Each data sub­ject has the right, as grant­ed by the Euro­pean Di- rec­tive and Reg­u­la­to­ry Author­i­ty, to require the con­troller to con­firm whether per­son­al data relat­ing to him / her are being processed. If an affect­ed per­son wish­es to exer­cise this right of con­fir­ma­tion, they can con­tact our data pro­tec­tion offi­cer or anoth­er employ­ee of the con­troller at any time.

  • b) Right to infor­ma­tion

Any per­son affect­ed by the pro­cess­ing of per­son­al data shall have the right grant­ed by the Euro­pean leg­is­la­ture and the leg­is­la­ture at any time to obtain free infor­ma­tion from the con­troller on the per­son­al data stored about him and a copy of that infor­ma­tion. In addi­tion, the Euro­pean leg­is­la­tor and reg­u­la­tor has pro­vid­ed the data sub­ject with the fol­low­ing infor­ma­tion:

    • the pro­cess­ing pur­pos­es
    • the cat­e­gories of per­son­al data being processed
    • the recip­i­ents or cat­e­gories of recip­i­ents to whom the per­son­al data have been dis­closed or are still being dis­closed, in par­tic­u­lar to recip­i­ents in third coun­tries or to inter­na­tion­al orga­ni­za­tions
    • if pos­si­ble, the planned dura­tion for which the per­son­al data will be stored or, if that is not pos­si­ble, the cri­te­ria for deter­min­ing that dura­tion
    • the exis­tence of a right to rec­ti­fi­ca­tion or era­sure of the per­son­al data con­cern­ing them, or to the lim­i­ta­tion of the pro­cess­ing by the con­troller or a right to object to such pro­cess­ing
    • the exis­tence of a right of appeal to a super­vi­so­ry author­i­ty
    • if the per­son­al data are not col­lect­ed from the data sub­ject: All avail­able infor­ma­tion about the ori­gin of the data
    • the exis­tence of auto­mat­ed deci­sion-mak­ing includ­ing pro­fil­ing in accor­dance with Arti­cle 22 (1) and (4) of the GDPR and – at least in these cas­es – mean­ing­ful infor­ma­tion on the log­ic involved, and the scope and intend­ed impact of such pro­cess­ing on the data sub­ject

Fur­ther­more, the data sub­ject has a right of access as to whether per­son­al data has been trans­mit­ted to a third coun­try or to an inter­na­tion­al orga­ni­za­tion. If this is the case, then the data sub­ject has the right to obtain infor­ma­tion about the appro­pri­ate guar­an­tees in con­nec­tion with the trans­fer.

If an affect­ed per­son wish­es to exer­cise this right to infor­ma­tion, they can con­tact our data pro­tec­tion offi­cer or anoth­er employ­ee of the con­troller at any time.

  • c) Right to rec­ti­fi­ca­tion

Any per­son affect­ed by the pro­cess­ing of per­son­al data has the right grant­ed by the Euro­pean leg­is­la­tor to demand the imme­di­ate cor­rec­tion of inac­cu­rate per­son­al data con­cern­ing him. Fur­ther­more, the data sub­ject has the right to request the com­ple­tion of incom­plete per­son­al data, includ­ing by means of a sup­ple­men­tary dec­la­ra­tion, tak­ing into account the pur­pos­es of the pro­cess­ing.

If an affect­ed per­son wish­es to exer­cise this right of rec­ti­fi­ca­tion, they can con­tact our data pro­tec­tion offi­cer or anoth­er mem­ber of the data con­troller at any time.

  • d) Right to can­cel­la­tion (right to be for­got­ten)

Any per­son affect­ed by the pro­cess­ing of per­son­al data shall have the right grant­ed by the Euro­pean Direc­tives and Reg­u­la­tors to require the con­troller to imme­di­ate­ly delete the per­son­al data con­cern­ing him, pro­vid­ed that one of the fol­low­ing rea­sons is sat­is­fied and the pro­cess­ing is not required:

    • The per­son­al data has been col­lect­ed for such pur­pos­es or oth­er­wise processed for which they are no longer nec­es­sary.
    • The per­son con­cerned revokes the con­sent on which the pro­cess­ing was based on Arti­cle 6 (1) (a) of the GDPR or Arti­cle 9 (2) (a) of the GDPR and lacks any oth­er legal basis for the pro­cess­ing.
    • Accord­ing to Art. 21 (1) DS-GVO, the data sub­ject objects to the pro­cess­ing and there are no legit­i­mate rea­sons for the pro­cess­ing, or the data sub­ject objects accord­ing to Art. 21 (2) DS-GVO Pro­cess­ing.
    • The per­son­al data was processed unlaw­ful­ly.
    • The dele­tion of per­son­al data is nec­es­sary to ful­fill a legal oblig­a­tion under Union or nation­al law, to which the con­troller is sub­ject.
    • The per­son­al data were col­lect­ed in rela­tion to infor­ma­tion soci­ety ser­vices offered in accor­dance with Art. 8 para. 1 DS-GVO.

If any of the above rea­sons apply and an affect­ed per­son wish­es to request the dele­tion of your per­son­al infor­ma­tion, you may con­tact our data pro­tec­tion offi­cer or anoth­er mem­ber of the data con­troller at any time. The data pro­tec­tion offi­cer or anoth­er employ­ee will arrange that the dele­tion request be ful­filled imme­di­ate­ly.

If the per­son­al data have been made pub­lic and the oper­a­tor is respon­si­ble for delet­ing per­son­al data in accor­dance with Art. 17 (1) DS-BER, the oper­a­tor shall take appro­pri­ate mea­sures, includ­ing tech­ni­cal ones, for oth­ers, tak­ing into account the avail­able tech­nol­o­gy and the costs of imple­men­ta­tion (a) inform data con­trollers pro­cess­ing the pub­lished per­son­al data that the data sub­ject has request­ed the oth­er data con­trollers to delete all links to such per­son­al data or to make copies or repli­cas of such per­son­al data; Pro­cess­ing is not required. The data pro­tec­tion offi­cer or anoth­er employ­ee will arrange the nec­es­sary in indi­vid­ual cas­es.

  • e) Right to restric­tion of pro­cess­ing

Any per­son affect­ed by the pro­cess­ing of per­son­al data has the right grant­ed by the Euro­pean direc­tive and reg­u­la­to­ry author­i­ty to require the con­troller to restrict the pro­cess­ing if one of the fol­low­ing con­di­tions applies:

    • The accu­ra­cy of the per­son­al data is con­test­ed by the data sub­ject for a peri­od of time that enables the per­son respon­si­ble to ver­i­fy the accu­ra­cy of the per­son­al data.
    • The pro­cess­ing is unlaw­ful, the data sub­ject refus­es to delete the per­son­al data and instead requests the restric­tion of the use of per­son­al data.
    • The con­troller no longer needs the per­son­al data for pro­cess­ing pur­pos­es, but the data sub­ject needs them to assert, exer­cise or defend legal claims.
    • The per­son con­cerned has objec­tion to the pro­cess­ing acc. Art. 21 para. 1 DS-GVO and it is not yet clear whether the legit­i­mate rea­sons of the per­son respon­si­ble out­weigh those of the per­son con­cerned.

If one of the above con­di­tions is met and an affect­ed per­son wish­es to request the restric­tion of per­son­al data, they may at any time con­tact our data pro­tec­tion offi­cer or anoth­er of the data controller’s employ­ees. The data pro­tec­tion offi­cer or anoth­er employ­ee will ini­ti­ate the restric­tion of pro­cess­ing.

  • f) Data trans­fer­abil­i­ty

Any per­son affect­ed by the pro­cess­ing of per­son­al data shall have the right grant­ed by the Euro­pean Di- rec­tive and Reg­u­la­to­ry Author­i­ty to receive the per­son­al data con­cern­ing him / her pro­vid­ed to a con­troller by the data sub­ject in a struc­tured, com­mon and machine-read­able for­mat. It also has the right to trans­mit this data to anoth­er per­son respon­si­ble with­out hin­drance by the con­troller to whom the per­son­al data was pro­vid­ed, pro­vid­ed that the pro­cess­ing is based on the con­sent pur­suant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR or Art. 9 para 2 (a) of the GDPR or on a con­tract pur­suant to Arti­cle 6 (1) (b) of the GDPR and pro­cess­ing by means of auto­mat­ed pro­ce­dures, unless the pro­cess­ing is nec­es­sary for the per­for­mance of a task of pub­lic inter­est or in the exer­cise of offi­cial author­i­ty, which has been assigned to the con­troller.

Fur­ther­more, in exer­cis­ing their right to data porta­bil­i­ty under Arti­cle 20 (1) of the GDPR, the data sub­ject has the right to obtain that the per­son­al data is trans­mit­ted direct­ly from one con­troller to anoth­er, where tech­ni­cal­ly fea­si­ble and if so this does not affect the rights and free­doms of oth­ers.

In order to assert the right to data porta­bil­i­ty, the data sub­ject may at any time con­tact the data pro­tec­tion offi­cer or anoth­er co-work­er.

  • g) Right to object

Any per­son con­cerned by the pro­cess­ing of per­son­al data shall have the right con­ferred by the Euro­pean direc­tive and reg­u­la­to­ry author­i­ty at any time, for rea­sons aris­ing from its par­tic­u­lar sit­u­a­tion, against the pro­cess­ing of per­son­al data relat­ing to it pur­suant to Arti­cle 6 (1) (e) or f DS-GVO takes an objec­tion. This also applies to pro­fil­ing based on these pro­vi­sions.

In the event of an objec­tion, the oper­a­tor no longer process­es the per­son­al data unless we can prove com­pelling legit­i­mate grounds for pro­cess­ing that out­weigh the inter­ests, rights and free­doms of the data sub­ject, or the pro­cess­ing is for the pur­pose of assert­ing, exer­cis­ing or defend­ing legal claims.

If the oper­a­tor process­es per­son­al data in order to oper­ate direct mail, the data sub­ject has the right to object at any time to the pro­cess­ing of per­son­al data for the pur­pose of such adver­tis­ing. This also applies to the pro­fil­ing, as far as it is asso­ci­at­ed with such direct mail. If the data sub­ject objects to the oper­a­tor for direct mar­ket­ing pur­pos­es, the oper­a­tor will no longer process the per­son­al data for these pur­pos­es.

In addi­tion, the data sub­ject has the right, for rea­sons aris­ing from their par­tic­u­lar sit­u­a­tion, to object to the pro­cess­ing of per­son­al data relat­ing to them for sci­en­tif­ic or his­tor­i­cal research pur­pos­es or for sta­tis­ti­cal pur­pos­es under Arti­cle 89 (1) of the GDPR unless such pro­cess­ing is nec­es­sary to ful­fill a pub­lic inter­est task.

In order to exer­cise the right of oppo­si­tion, the data sub­ject may direct­ly con­tact the data pro­tec­tion offi­cer or anoth­er co-work­er. The data sub­ject is also free, in the con­text of the use of infor­ma­tion soci­ety ser­vices, notwith­stand­ing Direc­tive 2002⁄58 / EC, to exer­cise his right of oppo­si­tion by means of auto­mat­ed pro­ce­dures using tech­ni­cal spec­i­fi­ca­tions.

  • h) Auto­mat­ed deci­sions in indi­vid­ual cas­es includ­ing pro­fil­ing

Any per­son con­cerned with the pro­cess­ing of per­son­al data shall have the right grant­ed by the Euro­pean direc­tive and reg­u­la­to­ry author­i­ty not to be sub­ject to a deci­sion based sole­ly on auto­mat­ed pro­cess­ing, includ­ing pro­fil­ing, which has a legal effect on it or, in a sim­i­lar man­ner, sig­nif­i­cant­ly affects it; unless the deci­sion (1) is nec­es­sary for the con­clu­sion or per­for­mance of a con­tract between the data sub­ject and the con­troller, or (2) per­mit­ted by Union or Mem­ber State leg­is­la­tion to which the con­troller is sub­ject, and that leg­is­la­tion pro­vides for appro­pri­ate mea­sures to safe­guard the rights and free­doms and the legit­i­mate inter­ests of the data sub­ject; or (3) with the express con­sent of the data sub­ject.

If the deci­sion (1) is required for the con­clu­sion or per­for­mance of a con­tract between the data sub­ject and the con­troller or (2) it takes place with the express con­sent of the data sub­ject, the oper­a­tor shall take appro­pri­ate mea­sures to safe­guard the rights and free­doms and the legit­i­mate inter­ests the per­son con­cerned, includ­ing at least the right to obtain the inter­ven­tion of a per­son by the con­troller, to express his / her own posi­tion and to chal­lenge the deci­sion.

If the data sub­ject wish­es to claim auto­mat­ed deci­sion-mak­ing rights, they may con­tact our data pro­tec­tion offi­cer or oth­er data con­troller at any time.

  • i) Right to revoke a data pro­tec­tion con­sent

Any per­son affect­ed by the pro­cess­ing of per­son­al data has the right, grant­ed by the Euro­pean direc­tive and reg­u­la­to­ry author­i­ty, to revoke con­sent to the pro­cess­ing of per­son­al data at any time.

If the data sub­ject wish­es to assert their right to with­draw con­sent, they may at any time con­tact our data pro­tec­tion offi­cer or anoth­er employ­ee of the con­troller.

Privacy Policy for Use and Use of AddThis

The con­troller has inte­grat­ed com­po­nents from AddThis on this web­site. AddThis is a so-called book­mark­ing provider. The ser­vice allows a sim­pli­fied book­mark­ing of web­sites via but­tons. By hov­er­ing or click­ing on the AddThis com­po­nent with the mouse, a list of book­mark­ing and shar­ing ser­vices is dis­played. AddThis is on over 15 mil­lion web­sites in use, and the but­tons are dis­played accord­ing to the infor­ma­tion of the oper­at­ing com­pa­ny over 20 bil­lion times a year.

The oper­at­ing com­pa­ny of AddThis is the com­pa­ny AddThis, Inc. 1595 Spring Hill Road, Suite 300, Vien­na, VA 22182, USA.

Each time one of the indi­vid­ual pages of this web­site, which is oper­at­ed by the con­troller and on which an AddThis com­po­nent has been inte­grat­ed, the Inter­net brows­er on the infor­ma­tion tech­nol­o­gy sys­tem of the per­son con­cerned is auto­mat­i­cal­ly caused by the respec­tive AddThis com­po­nent to col­lect data from the Inter­net site www.addthis.com. With­in the scope of this tech­ni­cal pro­ce­dure, AddThis receives knowl­edge about the vis­it and which con­crete sin­gle page of this web­site is used by the infor­ma­tion tech­nol­o­gy sys­tem used by the data sub­ject. Fur­ther­more, AddThis receives knowl­edge of the Inter­net ser­vice provider (ISP) assigned IP address of the com­put­er sys­tem used by the data sub­ject, the brows­er type, the brows­er lan­guage, the web­site accessed from our web­site, the date and time of vis­it­ing our web­site. AddThis uses this data to cre­ate anony­mous user pro­files. The data and infor­ma­tion trans­mit­ted to AddThis in this way will allow AddThis itself, as well as AddThis’ affil­i­ates or its affil­i­ates, to specif­i­cal­ly tar­get users of the controller’s sites with per­son­al­ized and inter­est-based adver­tis­ing.

AddThis dis­plays per­son­al­ized and inter­est-based adver­tis­ing based on a cook­ie set by the com­pa­ny. This cook­ie ana­lyzes the indi­vid­ual surf­ing behav­ior of the com­put­er sys­tem used by the data sub­ject. The cook­ie stores the vis­its of web pages from the com­put­er sys­tem.

The affect­ed per­son can pre­vent the set­ting of cook­ies through our web­site, as shown above, at any time by means of a cor­re­spond­ing set­ting of the Inter­net brows­er used and thus per­ma­nent­ly con­tra­dict the set­ting of cook­ies. Such a set­ting of the Inter­net brows­er used would also pre­vent AddThis from set­ting a cook­ie on the infor­ma­tion tech­nol­o­gy sys­tem of the per­son con­cerned. In addi­tion, AddThis already set cook­ies can be delet­ed at any time via an Inter­net brows­er or oth­er soft­ware pro­grams.

The data sub­ject also has the option of per­ma­nent­ly oppos­ing the pro­cess­ing of per­son­al data by AddThis. For this, the per­son con­cerned must press the opt-out but­ton under the link http://www.addthis.com/privacy/opt-out, which sets an opt-out cook­ie. The opt-out cook­ie set against the oppo­si­tion will be placed on the infor­ma­tion tech­nol­o­gy sys­tem used by the data sub­ject. If the cook­ies on the affect­ed person’s sys­tem are delet­ed after an appeal, the data sub­ject must revis­it the link and set a new opt-out cook­ie.

How­ev­er, by set­ting the opt-out cook­ie, there is the pos­si­bil­i­ty that the controller’s inter­net sites may no longer be ful­ly usable by the data sub­ject.

The applic­a­ble AddThis pri­va­cy pol­i­cy can be found at http://www.addthis.com/privacy/privacy-policy.

Privacy Policy for the use of Facebook plug-ins (Like-Button)

The con­troller has inte­grat­ed com­po­nents of the com­pa­ny Face­book on this web­site. Face­book is a social net­work.

A social net­work is an Inter­net-based social meet­ing place, an online com­mu­ni­ty that usu­al­ly allows users to com­mu­ni­cate with each oth­er and inter­act in vir­tu­al space. A social net­work can serve as a plat­form for shar­ing views and expe­ri­ences, or allows the Inter­net com­mu­ni­ty to pro­vide per­son­al or busi­ness infor­ma­tion. Face­book allows social net­work users to cre­ate pri­vate pro­files, upload pho­tos and social­ize via friend requests.

The oper­at­ing com­pa­ny of Face­book is Face­book, Inc., 1 Hack­er Way, Men­lo Park, CA 94025, USA. The per­son respon­si­ble for the pro­cess­ing of per­son­al data, if an affect­ed per­son lives out­side the US or Cana­da, is Face­book Ire­land Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Har­bor, Dublin 2, Ire­land.

Each time one of the indi­vid­ual pages of this web­site, which is oper­at­ed by the con­troller and on which a Face­book com­po­nent (Face­book plug-in) is inte­grat­ed, the Inter­net brows­er on the infor­ma­tion tech­nol­o­gy sys­tem of the per­son con­cerned is auto­mat­i­cal­ly acti­vat­ed by the respec­tive Face­book Com­po­nent caus­es a rep­re­sen­ta­tion of the Face­book Face­book com­po­nent to down­load. An overview of all Face­book plug-ins can be found at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=en_US. As part of this tech­ni­cal process, Face­book receives infor­ma­tion about which spe­cif­ic sub­page of our web­site is vis­it­ed by the per­son con­cerned.

If the per­son con­cerned is simul­ta­ne­ous­ly logged in to Face­book, Face­book rec­og­nizes with each vis­it to our web­site by the data sub­ject and dur­ing the entire dura­tion of the respec­tive stay on our web­site, which spe­cif­ic under­side of our web­site vis­it­ed the per­son con­cerned. This infor­ma­tion is col­lect­ed through the Face­book com­po­nent and assigned by Face­book to the respec­tive Face­book account of the data sub­ject. If the per­son con­cerned acti­vates one of the Face­book but­tons inte­grat­ed on our web­site, for exam­ple the “Like” but­ton, or if the per­son con­cerned makes a com­ment, Face­book assigns this infor­ma­tion to the per­son­al Face­book user account of the per­son con­cerned and saves this per­son­al data ,

Face­book always receives infor­ma­tion via the Face­book com­po­nent that the data sub­ject has vis­it­ed our web­site if the data sub­ject is simul­ta­ne­ous­ly logged in to Face­book at the time of access to our web­site; this takes place regard­less of whether the per­son con­cerned clicks on the Face­book com­po­nent or not. If such a trans­fer of this infor­ma­tion to Face­book is not want­ed by the per­son con­cerned, it can pre­vent the trans­fer by log­ging out of their Face­book account before call­ing our web­site.

The data pol­i­cy pub­lished by Face­book, which is avail­able at https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/, pro­vides infor­ma­tion on the col­lec­tion, pro­cess­ing and use of per­son­al data by Face­book. It also explains which options Face­book offers to pro­tect the pri­va­cy of the data sub­ject. In addi­tion, dif­fer­ent appli­ca­tions are avail­able, which make it pos­si­ble to sup­press data trans­mis­sion to Face­book. Such appli­ca­tions can be used by the data sub­ject to sup­press data trans­mis­sion to Face­book.

Privacy Policy for the use of Google Analytics

The con­troller has inte­grat­ed the com­po­nent Google Ana­lyt­ics (with anonymiza­tion func­tion) on this web­site. Google Ana­lyt­ics is a web ana­lyt­ics ser­vice. Web analy­sis is the col­lec­tion, col­lec­tion and analy­sis of data about the behav­ior of vis­i­tors to web­sites. Among oth­er things, a web analy­sis ser­vice col­lects data on which web­site an affect­ed per­son has come to a web­site (so-called refer­rers), which sub­pages of the web­site were accessed or how often and for which length of stay a sub­page was viewed. A web analy­sis is main­ly used to opti­mize a web­site and cost-ben­e­fit analy­sis of Inter­net adver­tis­ing.

The oper­at­ing com­pa­ny of the Google Ana­lyt­ics com­po­nent is Google Inc., 1600 Amphithe­ater Pkwy, Moun­tain View, CA 94043–1351, USA.

The con­troller uses the addi­tion “_gat._anonymizeIp” for web ana­lyt­ics via Google Ana­lyt­ics. This adden­dum will short­en and anonymise the IP address of the data sub­ject of the per­son con­cerned if Google access­es our web­site from a Mem­ber State of the Euro­pean Union or from anoth­er state par­ty to the Agree­ment on the Euro­pean Eco­nom­ic Area.

The pur­pose of the Google Ana­lyt­ics com­po­nent is to ana­lyze vis­i­tor flows on our web­site. Among oth­er things, Google uses the data and infor­ma­tion obtained to eval­u­ate the use of our web­site, to com­pile for us online reports show­ing the activ­i­ties on our web­site, and to pro­vide oth­er ser­vices relat­ed to the use of our web­site.

Google Ana­lyt­ics uses a cook­ie on the infor­ma­tion tech­nol­o­gy sys­tem of the per­son con­cerned. What cook­ies are, has already been explained above. By using this cook­ie Google is enabled to ana­lyze the usage of our web­site. Each time one of the pages of this web­site is accessed by the con­troller and a Google Ana­lyt­ics com­po­nent has been inte­grat­ed into it, the inter­net brows­er on the infor­ma­tion tech­nol­o­gy sys­tem of the per­son con­cerned is auto­mat­i­cal­ly ini­ti­at­ed by the respec­tive Google Ana­lyt­ics com­po­nent To sub­mit data to Google for the pur­pos­es of online analy­sis. As part of this tech­ni­cal process, Google receives infor­ma­tion about per­son­al data, such as the IP address of the per­son con­cerned, which Google uses, among oth­er things, to track the ori­gin of vis­i­tors and clicks, and sub­se­quent­ly make com­mis­sion set­tle­ments pos­si­ble.

The cook­ie stores per­son­al­ly iden­ti­fi­able infor­ma­tion, such as access time, the loca­tion from which access was made and the fre­quen­cy of site vis­its by the data sub­ject. Each time you vis­it our web­site, your per­son­al infor­ma­tion, includ­ing the IP address of the Inter­net con­nec­tion used by the data sub­ject, is trans­ferred to Google in the Unit­ed States of Amer­i­ca. This per­son­al infor­ma­tion is stored by Google in the Unit­ed States of Amer­i­ca. Google may trans­fer this per­son­al data col­lect­ed through the tech­ni­cal process to third par­ties.

The affect­ed per­son can pre­vent the set­ting of cook­ies through our web­site, as shown above, at any time by means of a cor­re­spond­ing set­ting of the Inter­net brows­er used and thus per­ma­nent­ly con­tra­dict the set­ting of cook­ies. Such a set­ting of the Inter­net brows­er used would also pre­vent Google from set­ting a cook­ie on the infor­ma­tion tech­nol­o­gy sys­tem of the per­son con­cerned. In addi­tion, a cook­ie already set by Google Ana­lyt­ics can be delet­ed at any time via the Inter­net brows­er or oth­er soft­ware pro­grams.

Fur­ther­more, the data sub­ject has the pos­si­bil­i­ty of object­ing to and pre­vent­ing the col­lec­tion of the data gen­er­at­ed by Google Ana­lyt­ics for the use of this web­site and the pro­cess­ing of this data by Google. To do this, the per­son must down­load and install a brows­er add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This brows­er add-on informs Google Ana­lyt­ics via JavaScript that no data and infor­ma­tion about web­site vis­its may be trans­mit­ted to Google Ana­lyt­ics. The instal­la­tion of the brows­er add-on is con­sid­ered by Google as a con­tra­dic­tion. If the data subject’s infor­ma­tion tech­nol­o­gy sys­tem is lat­er delet­ed, for­mat­ted or rein­stalled, the data sub­ject must rein­stall the brows­er add-on to dis­able Google Ana­lyt­ics. If the brows­er add-on is unin­stalled or dis­abled by the data sub­ject or any oth­er per­son with­in their con­trol, you may rein­stall or re-enable the brows­er add-on.

Addi­tion­al infor­ma­tion and Google’s pri­va­cy pol­i­cy can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/ and http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/en.html. Google Ana­lyt­ics is explained in more detail at https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.

Privacy Policy for the use of Google+

The con­troller has inte­grat­ed the Google+ but­ton as a com­po­nent on this web­site. Google+ is a so-called social net­work. A social net­work is an Inter­net-based social meet­ing place, an online com­mu­ni­ty that usu­al­ly allows users to com­mu­ni­cate with each oth­er and inter­act in vir­tu­al space. A social net­work can serve as a plat­form for shar­ing views and expe­ri­ences, or allows the Inter­net com­mu­ni­ty to pro­vide per­son­al or busi­ness infor­ma­tion. Google+ allows social net­work users to cre­ate pri­vate pro­files, upload pho­tos, and social­ize through friend requests, among oth­er things.

The oper­at­ing com­pa­ny of Google+ is Google Inc., 1600 Amphithe­ater Pkwy, Moun­tain View, CA 94043–1351, USA.

Each vis­it to one of the pages of this web­site oper­at­ed by the con­troller and incor­po­rat­ing a Google+ but­ton will cause the inter­net brows­er on the subject’s infor­ma­tion tech­nol­o­gy sys­tem to be auto­mat­i­cal­ly trig­gered by the respec­tive Google+ but­ton, a rep­re­sen­ta­tion of the cor­re­spond­ing Google+ Down­load but­ton from Google. As part of this tech­ni­cal process, Google will be aware of which spe­cif­ic bot­tom of our web­site is vis­it­ed by the per­son con­cerned. More detailed infor­ma­tion about Google+ is avail­able at https://developers.google.com/+/.

If the per­son is logged in to Google+ at the same time, Google rec­og­nizes with each vis­it to our web­site by the data sub­ject and dur­ing the entire dura­tion of the respec­tive stay on our web­site, which spe­cif­ic bot­tom of our web­site vis­it­ed the per­son con­cerned. This infor­ma­tion is col­lect­ed through the Google+ but­ton and assigned by Google to the rel­e­vant Google + account for the data sub­ject.

If the per­son con­cerned acti­vates one of the Google + but­tons inte­grat­ed on our web­site and thus makes a Google + 1 rec­om­men­da­tion, Google assigns this infor­ma­tion to the per­son­al Google + user account of the per­son con­cerned and stores this per­son­al data. Google will store the Google +1 rec­om­men­da­tion of the data sub­ject and make it pub­licly avail­able in accor­dance with the con­di­tions accept­ed by the data sub­ject. A Google +1 refer­ral made by the data sub­ject on this web­site is sub­se­quent­ly pro­vid­ed togeth­er with oth­er per­son­al infor­ma­tion, such as the name of the Google + 1 account used by the data sub­ject and the pho­to in oth­er Google ser­vices stored there­in, For exam­ple, the search engine results of the Google search engine, the Google account of the data sub­ject or oth­er places, such as on web­sites or in con­nec­tion with adver­tise­ments stored and processed. Fur­ther­more, Google is able to link the vis­it to this web­site with oth­er per­son­al data stored on Google. Google also records this per­son­al infor­ma­tion for the pur­pose of improv­ing or stream­lin­ing Google’s var­i­ous ser­vices.

Google always receives infor­ma­tion via the Google + but­ton that the per­son con­cerned has vis­it­ed our web­site if the per­son con­cerned is simul­ta­ne­ous­ly logged in to Google+ at the time of access to our web­site; this hap­pens regard­less of whether the per­son clicks the Google + but­ton or not.

If the data sub­ject does not wish to trans­fer per­son­al data to Google, the lat­ter can pre­vent such trans­mis­sion by log­ging out of their Google + account before call­ing our web­site.

As part of this tech­ni­cal process, YouTube and Google will be aware of which spe­cif­ic bot­tom of our site the per­son is vis­it­ing.

If the per­son is logged in to YouTube at the same time, YouTube rec­og­nizes by call­ing a sub-page that con­tains a YouTube video, which spe­cif­ic bot­tom of our web­site the affect­ed per­son vis­its. This infor­ma­tion will be col­lect­ed by YouTube and Google and asso­ci­at­ed with the affect­ed person’s YouTube account.

YouTube and Google will always receive infor­ma­tion through the YouTube com­po­nent that the data sub­ject has vis­it­ed our web­site if the data sub­ject is simul­ta­ne­ous­ly logged into YouTube at the time of access to our web­site; this hap­pens regard­less of whether the per­son clicks on a YouTube video or not. If such infor­ma­tion is not intend­ed to be passed on to YouTube and Google by the per­son con­cerned, the lat­ter may pre­vent the trans­mis­sion from log­ging out of their YouTube account before call­ing our web­site.

YouTube’s pri­va­cy pol­i­cy, avail­able at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/, iden­ti­fies the col­lec­tion, pro­cess­ing, and use of per­son­al­ly iden­ti­fi­able infor­ma­tion by YouTube and Google.

Privacy Policy for using and using Jetpack for WordPress

The con­troller has inte­grat­ed Jet­pack on this web­site. Jet­pack is a Word­Press plug-in that pro­vides addi­tion­al func­tion­al­i­ty to the oper­a­tor of an Inter­net site based on Word­Press. Among oth­er things, Jet­pack allows the web­site oper­a­tor an overview of the vis­i­tors to the site. By dis­play­ing relat­ed con­tri­bu­tions and pub­li­ca­tions or the abil­i­ty to share con­tent on the site, it is also pos­si­ble to increase vis­i­tor num­bers. In addi­tion, secu­ri­ty fea­tures are inte­grat­ed into Jet­pack so that a Jet­pack-using web­site is bet­ter pro­tect­ed against brute-force attacks. Jet­pack also opti­mizes and speeds up the load­ing of images built into the web­site.

The oper­at­ing com­pa­ny of the Jet­pack plug-in for Word­Press is Automat­tic Inc., 132 Hawthorne Street, San Fran­cis­co, CA 94107, USA. The oper­at­ing com­pa­ny uses the track­ing tech­nol­o­gy of Quant­cast Inc., 201 Third Street, San Fran­cis­co, CA 94103, USA.

Jet­pack sets a cook­ie on the infor­ma­tion tech­nol­o­gy sys­tem of the per­son con­cerned. What cook­ies are, has already been explained above. Each time one of the pages of this web­site is accessed by the con­troller and a Jet­pack com­po­nent has been inte­grat­ed, the inter­net brows­er on the subject’s infor­ma­tion tech­nol­o­gy sys­tem is auto­mat­i­cal­ly prompt­ed by the Jet­pack com­po­nent for analy­sis to sub­mit to Automat­tic. As part of this tech­ni­cal process, Automat­tic learns about data that will sub­se­quent­ly be used to com­pile an overview of the site vis­its. The data obtained are used to ana­lyze the behav­ior of the data sub­ject who accessed the controller’s web­site and are eval­u­at­ed with the aim of opti­miz­ing the web­site. The data col­lect­ed through the Jet­pack com­po­nent will not be used to iden­ti­fy the data sub­ject with­out pri­or, explic­it and explic­it con­sent of the data sub­ject. The data is also not­ed in Quant­cast. Quant­cast uses the data for the same pur­pos­es as Automat­tic.

The affect­ed per­son can pre­vent the set­ting of cook­ies through our web­site, as shown above, at any time by means of a cor­re­spond­ing set­ting of the Inter­net brows­er used and thus per­ma­nent­ly con­tra­dict the set­ting of cook­ies. Such a set­ting of the Inter­net brows­er used would also pre­vent Automat­tic / Quant­cast from set­ting a cook­ie on the infor­ma­tion tech­nol­o­gy sys­tem of the per­son con­cerned. In addi­tion, cook­ies already set by Automat­tic can be delet­ed at any time via the Inter­net brows­er or oth­er soft­ware pro­grams.

Fur­ther­more, the data sub­ject has the option of object­ing to and pre­vent­ing detec­tion of the data gen­er­at­ed by the Jet­pack cook­ie for use of this web­site and the pro­cess­ing of this data by Automat­tic / Quant­cast. For this, the per­son con­cerned must press the opt-out but­ton under the link https://www.quantcast.com/opt-out/, which sets an opt-out cook­ie. The opt-out cook­ie set against the objec­tion will be placed on the infor­ma­tion tech­nol­o­gy sys­tem used by the data sub­ject. If the cook­ies on the affect­ed person’s sys­tem are delet­ed after an appeal, the data sub­ject must revis­it the link and set a new opt-out cook­ie.

How­ev­er, by set­ting the opt-out cook­ie, there is the pos­si­bil­i­ty that the controller’s inter­net sites may no longer be ful­ly usable by the data sub­ject.

Privacy Statement Regarding the Use of Ads from the Amazon Affiliate Program

The con­troller, as a par­tic­i­pant in the Ama­zon Affil­i­ate Pro­gram, has inte­grat­ed Ama­zon com­po­nents on this site. The Ama­zon com­po­nents were designed by Ama­zon to help adver­tis­ers adver­tise on var­i­ous Ama­zon Group web­sites, includ­ing Amazon.co.uk, Local.Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.co.uk, BuyVIP.com, Amazon.fr , Amazon.it and Amazon.es. BuyVIP.com against pay­ment of a com­mis­sion to medi­ate. The con­troller may gen­er­ate adver­tis­ing rev­enue by using the Ama­zon com­po­nents.

The oper­at­ing com­pa­ny of these Ama­zon com­po­nents is Ama­zon EU S.à.rl, 5 Rue Plaetis, L‑2338 Lux­em­bourg, Lux­em­bourg.

Ama­zon sets a cook­ie on the infor­ma­tion tech­nol­o­gy sys­tem of the per­son con­cerned. What cook­ies are, has already been explained above. Each indi­vid­ual call of one of the indi­vid­ual pages of this web­site, which is oper­at­ed by the con­troller and on which an Ama­zon com­po­nent has been inte­grat­ed, the Inter­net brows­er on the infor­ma­tion tech­nol­o­gy sys­tem of the per­son con­cerned is auto­mat­i­cal­ly caused by the respec­tive Ama­zon com­po­nent, data for Pur­pos­es of online adver­tis­ing and billing com­mis­sions to Ama­zon. As part of this tech­ni­cal process, Ama­zon will be aware of per­son­al­ly iden­ti­fi­able infor­ma­tion that Ama­zon uses to track the ori­gin of orders received by Ama­zon and sub­se­quent­ly allow com­mis­sion billing. Among oth­er things, Ama­zon can under­stand that the affect­ed per­son has clicked on a part­ner link on our web­site.

The affect­ed per­son can pre­vent the set­ting of cook­ies through our web­site, as shown above, at any time by means of a cor­re­spond­ing set­ting of the Inter­net brows­er used and thus per­ma­nent­ly con­tra­dict the set­ting of cook­ies. Such a set­ting of the Inter­net brows­er used would also pre­vent Ama­zon from set­ting a cook­ie on the infor­ma­tion tech­nol­o­gy sys­tem of the per­son con­cerned. In addi­tion, cook­ies already set by Ama­zon can be delet­ed at any time via an Inter­net brows­er or oth­er soft­ware pro­grams.
