Use of Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA (hereinafter: “Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, i.e. text files that are stored on your computer and which enable your use of the website to be analyzed.

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA 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 transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other Google data.
The purposes of data processing are to evaluate the use of the website and to compile reports on activities on the website. Further related services will then be provided based on the use of the website and the Internet.

Data protection declaration for the use of Twitter

Google AdSense also uses so-called web beacons (invisible graphics). These web beacons can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on these pages.

Data protection declaration for the use of Google +1
You can publish information worldwide using the Google +1 button. Using the Google +1 button, you and other users receive personalized content from Google and its partners. Google stores both the information that you gave +1 to a piece of content and information about the page you viewed when you clicked +1. Your +1 can be displayed as information along with your profile name and your photo in Google services, such as in search results or in your Google profile, or elsewhere on websites and advertisements on the Internet.
Google records information about your +1 activities to improve Google services for you and others.
In order to use the Google +1 button, you need a globally visible, public Google profile, which must at least contain the name chosen for the profile. This name is used across all Google services. In some cases, this name may also replace another name you used when sharing content through your Google Account. The identity of your Google profile may be displayed to users who know your email address or have other identifying information about you.
In addition to the purposes explained above, the information you provide will be used in accordance with the applicable Google data protection regulations (http://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/). Google may publish aggregated statistics about users' +1 activities or pass these statistics on to our users and partners, such as publishers, advertisers or affiliated websites.

Use of Google Maps
On this website, we use Google Maps. Google Maps is operated by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (hereinafter “Google”). This allows us to show you interactive maps directly on the website and enables you to use the map function conveniently.
Further information about data processing by Google can be found in the Google data protection information. There you can also change your personal data protection settings in the data protection center.

Embedded YouTube videos
We embed YouTube videos on some of our websites. The operator of the corresponding plugins is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA (hereinafter “YouTube”). When you visit a page with the YouTube plugin, a connection to YouTube servers is established. This tells YouTube which pages you visit. If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube can assign your surfing behavior to you personally. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account beforehand.
If a YouTube video is started, the provider uses cookies that collect information about user behavior.

How long we store your data
If you write a comment, it will be saved indefinitely, including metadata. This way we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website, we additionally store the personal information they provide in their user profiles. All users can view, change or delete their personal information at any time (the user name cannot be changed). Website administrators can also view and change this information.

What rights you have to your data
If you have an account on this site or have written comments, you can request an exported export of your personal data, including any data you have provided to us. In addition, you can request the deletion of any personal data we hold about you. This does not include data that we are required to retain for administrative, legal or security reasons.

Where we send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Social plugins
Social media plugins are used on our websites. These plugins may be used to send information, which may also include personal data, to the service operator and, if necessary, used by them. We prevent the unconscious and unwanted collection and transmission of data to the service provider with a 2-click solution. In order to activate a desired social plugin, it must first be activated by clicking on the corresponding switch. Only by activating the plugin will the collection of information and its transmission to the service provider be triggered. We do not collect any personal data ourselves through the social plugins or their use.
We have no influence on which data an activated plugin collects and how it is used by the provider. It must currently be assumed that a direct connection to the provider's services will be developed and that at least the IP address and device-related information will be recorded and used. It is also possible that the service providers try to store cookies on the computer used. Please refer to the data protection information of the respective service provider to find out which specific data is collected and how it is used. If you are logged in to Facebook at the same time, Facebook can identify you as a visitor to a specific page.

Google AdWords
Our website uses Google Conversion Tracking. The operating company for the Google AdWords services is Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. If you have reached our website via an ad placed by Google, Google Adwords will set a cookie on your computer. The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google.
If the user visits certain pages on our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, you will not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users.

How we protect your data
SSL encryption
To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption methods (e.g. SSL) via HTTPS.

Changes
We may amend this privacy policy at any time without prior notice. The current version published on our website applies.

Questions for the data protection officer
