This page informs you of our policies related to the website, alongside the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information (hereinafter “data) we receive from the users of this website.

Please note that we reserve the rights and obligation to update this privacy policy at any time without prior notification to you. Therefore, it is in your responsibility to read this privacy policy from time to time.

Furthermore, a timestamp indicating the recency of the policy amendments will be included in this page.

Data recording on this website

Who is responsible for the data collection on this website?

The data collected on this website are processed by the author(s) and the webmaster. The contact details for the aforementioned parties can be found in the website’s “imprint” page.

How do we collect your data?

Some data are collected when you provide it to us. This could, for example, be data you enter on a contact form or via e-mail. Other data are collected automatically by our IT systems when you visit the website. These data are primarily technical data such as the browser, the operating system you are using or when you accessed the page, and the time the website was accessed. These data is recorded automatically when you access this website.

What are the purposes we use your data for?

Part of the data is collected to:

  • Ensure an error-free provision of the website
  • Deliver appropriate user experience
  • Analyze your usage patterns
  • Monitor behaviors deemed malicious for example 1) attempts to hack or compromise this website; 2) steal personal credentials; and 3) injecting corrupted web code with the intent to harm or mislead the owners, users, and audiences of this website

What rights do you have as your information is concerned?

You have the right to request information about your stored data, its origin, its recipients, and the purpose of its collection at no charge. You also have the right to request that it be corrected, blocked, or deleted. You can contact us at any time using the information given in the “imprint” section if you have further questions about the issue of privacy and data protection. You may also, of course, file a complaint with the competent regulatory authorities.

Analytics and third-party tools

When visiting this website, your browsing behaviors may be statistically analyzed. This happens primarily through the use of cookies and analytics. The analysis of your browsing behavior is usually anonymous; therefore, will not be able to identify you from this data. You can object to this analysis or prevent it by not using certain tools. Detailed information can be found in the following sections of this privacy policy.

2. General information and mandatory information

Data protection

The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data as confidential and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

If you use this website, various pieces of personal data will be collected. Personal information is any data with which you could be personally identified. This privacy policy explains what information we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.

Please be advised that data transmitted via the internet (e.g. via e-mail communication) may be subject to security breaches. Complete protection of your data from third-party access is not possible.

Information about the party or parties responsible for this website

The parties responsible for processing data on this website are listed in the “imprint” section of this website. The responsible party is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (names, email addresses, etc.).

Storage duration of your data

Unless a more specific storage period has been specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for which it was collected no longer applies. If you assert a justified request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial law retention periods); in the latter case, the deletion will take place after these reasons cease to apply.

Information on data transfer to the USA and non-EU countries

We use third-party tools owned and managed by companies domiciled in the United States of America (USA) or other from a data protection perspective termed as non-secure non-EU countries. If these tools are active, your personal data may potentially be transferred to these non-EU countries and may be processed there.

We do our best to use tools owned by non-European companies that abide with the European GDPR policy. However, we must point out that in these countries, a data protection level that is comparable to that in the EU cannot be guaranteed. For instance, U.S. enterprises are under a mandate to release personal data to the security agencies and you as the data subject do not have any litigation options to defend yourself in court. Hence, it cannot be ruled out that U.S. agencies (e.g., the Secret Service) may process, analyze, and permanently archive your personal data for surveillance purposes. We have no control over these processing activities.

Revocation of your consent to the processing of your data

A wide range of data processing operations are possible only subject to your express consent. You can also revoke at any time any consent you have already given us. To do so, you can send to us an informal e-mail with the request. This shall be without prejudice to the lawfulness of any data collection that occurred prior to your revocation.

Rights to object to the collection of data in special or unique cases if applicable

IN THE EVENT THAT DATA ARE PROCESSED ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO AT ANY TIME OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA BASED ON GROUNDS ARISING FROM YOUR UNIQUE SITUATION. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO ANY PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. TO DETERMINE THE LEGAL BASIS, ON WHICH ANY PROCESSING OF DATA IS BASED, PLEASE CONSULT THIS DATA PROTECTION DECLARATION. IF YOU LOG AN OBJECTION, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE ARE IN A POSITION TO PRESENT COMPELLING PROTECTION WORTHY GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING OF YOUR DATA, THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR IF THE PURPOSE OF THE PROCESSING IS THE CLAIMING, EXERCISING OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL ENTITLEMENTS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).

SSL or TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and for the protection of the transmission of confidential content, such as the inquiries you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection in your browser’s address line when it changes from “http://” to “https://” and the lock icon is displayed in your browser’s address bar.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transfer to us cannot be read by third parties.

Information about amendments or erasure of data

As permitted by applicable regulations, you have the right to be provided at any time with information free of charge about any of your personal data that is stored as well as its origin, the recipient and the purpose for which it has been processed. You also have the right to have this data corrected or erased. You can contact us at any time using the contact details listed in the imprint section of this website if you have further questions on the topic of personal data.
