Pursuant to section 7, para. 1 of the TMG (Telemediengesetz – Tele Media Act by German law), we as service providers are liable for our own content on these pages in accordance with general laws.

Any liability concerning this matter can only be assumed from the point in time at which the infringement becomes known to us.
Limitation of liability for external links
Our website contains links to the websites of third parties („external links“). As the content of these websites is not under our control, we cannot assume any liability for such external content. In all cases, the provider of information of the linked websites is liable for the content and accuracy of the information provided.

Data protection
A visit to our website can result in the storage on our server of information about the access (date, time, page accessed). This does not represent any analysis of personal data (e.g., name, address or e-mail address). If personal data are collected, this only occurs – to the extent possible – with the prior consent of the user of the website. Any forwarding of the data to third parties without the express consent of the user shall not take place.
We would like to expressly point out that the transmission of data via the Internet (e.g., by e-mail) can offer security vulnerabilities. It is therefore impossible to safeguard the data completely against access by third parties. We cannot assume any liability for damages arising as a result of such security vulnerabilities.
The use by third parties of all published contact details for the purpose of advertising is expressly excluded. We reserve the right to take legal steps in the case of the unsolicited sending of advertising information; e.g., by means of spam mail.

8. Your rights
8.1 In
this Section 8, we have summarised the rights that you have under data
protection law. Some of the rights are complex, and not all of the details have
been included in our summaries. Accordingly, you should read the relevant laws
and guidance from the regulatory authorities for a full explanation of these
rights.
8.2 Your
principal rights under data protection law are:
(a) the
right to access;
(b) the
right to rectification;
(c) the
right to erasure;
(d) the
right to restrict processing;
(e) the
right to object to processing;
(f) the
right to data portability;
(g) the
right to complain to a supervisory authority; and
(h) the
right to withdraw consent.
8.3 You
have the right to confirmation as to whether or not we process your personal
data and, where we do, access to the personal data, together with certain
additional information. That additional information includes details of the
purposes of the processing, the categories of personal data concerned and the
recipients of the personal data. Providing the rights and freedoms of others
are not affected, we will supply to you a copy of your personal data. The first
copy will be provided free of charge, but additional copies may be subject to a
reasonable fee.
8.4 You
have the right to have any inaccurate personal data about you rectified and,
taking into account the purposes of the processing, to have any incomplete
personal data about you completed.
8.5 In
some circumstances you have the right to the erasure of your personal data
without undue delay. Those circumstances include: [the personal data are no
longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or
otherwise processed; you withdraw consent to consent-based processing; you
object to the processing under certain rules of applicable data protection law;
the processing is for direct marketing purposes; and the personal data have
been unlawfully processed]. However, there are exclusions of the right to
erasure. The general exclusions include where processing is necessary: [for
exercising the right of freedom of expression and information; for compliance
with a legal obligation; or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal
claims].
8.6 In
some circumstances you have the right to restrict the processing of your
personal data. Those circumstances are: you contest the accuracy of the
personal data; processing is unlawful but you oppose erasure; we no longer need
the personal data for the purposes of our processing, but you require personal
data for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; and you have
objected to processing, pending the verification of that objection. Where
processing has been restricted on this basis, we may continue to store your
personal data. However, we will only otherwise process it: with your consent; for
the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; for the protection of
the rights of another natural or legal person; or for reasons of important
public interest.
8.7 You
have the right to object to our processing of your personal data on grounds relating
to your particular situation, but only to the extent that the legal basis for
the processing is that the processing is necessary for: the performance of a
task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of any official
authority vested in us; or the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by
us or by a third party. If you make such an objection, we will cease to process
the personal information unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate
grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms,
or the processing is for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal
claims.
8.8 You
have the right to object to our processing of your personal data for direct
marketing purposes (including profiling for direct marketing purposes). If you
make such an objection, we will cease to process your personal data for this
purpose.
8.9 You
have the right to object to our processing of your personal data for scientific
or historical research purposes or statistical purposes on grounds relating to
your particular situation, unless the processing is necessary for the
performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.
8.10 To
the extent that the legal basis for our processing of your personal data is:
(a) consent;
or
(b) that
the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are
party or in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into a
contract,
and
such processing is carried out by automated means, you have the right to receive
your personal data from us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable
format. However, this right does not apply where it would adversely affect the
rights and freedoms of others.
8.11 If
you consider that our processing of your personal information infringes data
protection laws, you have a legal right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory
authority responsible for data protection. You may do so in the EU member state
of your habitual residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged
infringement.
8.12 To
the extent that the legal basis for our processing of your personal information
is consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal
will not affect the lawfulness of processing before the withdrawal.
8.13 You
may exercise any of your rights in relation to your personal data [by written
notice to us] OR [by [methods]][, in addition to the other methods
specified in this Section 8].
