Disclaimer

1. Content of the Online Offer
The author makes no representations or warranties regarding the accuracy, completeness, or up-to-date nature of the information provided. The author shall not be held liable for any material or immaterial damages resulting from the use or non-use of the information provided, or from the use of incorrect or incomplete information, unless the author can be proven to have acted with intent or gross negligence. All offers are non-binding and subject to change. The author expressly reserves the right to modify, add to, delete, or temporarily or permanently discontinue the publication of parts of the site or the entire offer without prior notice.

 

2. References and Links
For direct or indirect references to external websites ("hyperlinks") that are outside the author's responsibility, the author can only be held liable if they are aware of the content of the external websites and if it is technically feasible and reasonable to prevent the use of unlawful content. That being said, the author explicitly states that at the time the links were created, no illegal content was identifiable on the linked pages. The author has no influence over the current or future design, content, or authorship of the linked pages. Therefore, the author expressly distances themselves from all content on any linked pages that have been modified after the link was established. This applies to all links and references within the author's website, as well as third-party entries in guestbooks, discussion forums, link directories, mailing lists, and other forms of databases where external writing access is possible. The provider of the linked page is solely responsible for any illegal, incorrect, or incomplete content and for any damages resulting from the use or non-use of such information. The author is not responsible for the content of pages to which they merely link.
In a court decision dated May 12, 1998, the Hamburg Regional Court decided that a website publisher could be held responsible for the content of linked pages. This liability can only be avoided by explicitly distancing oneself from such content.

For all links on this website: The author hereby explicitly distances themselves from all content on linked pages and does not adopt these contents as their own.


3. Copyright and Trademark Rights
The author is committed to respecting the copyright of all images, graphics, audio recordings, video sequences, and texts used in its publications. This includes using self-created images, graphics, audio recordings, video sequences, and texts, or relying on royalty-free graphics, audio recordings, video sequences, and texts. All trademarks and service marks referenced within this website, and potentially protected by third parties, are subject to the relevant trademark laws and the ownership rights of their respective registered owners. The mere mention of a trademark does not imply that it is not protected by third-party rights. The copyright for any materials published and created by the author remains with the author of the pages. Reproduction or use of such graphics, audio recordings, video sequences, and texts in other electronic or printed publications is prohibited without the express written consent of the author.

Our websites are safeguarded with technical measures to prevent damage, destruction, or unauthorized access.


Scope of Data Protection
The scope of data protection covers personal data. As defined in Section 3, Paragraph 1 of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), personal data refers to any information concerning the personal or factual circumstances of an identified or identifiable individual. This includes, for instance, details such as name, postal address, email address, or telephone number, as well as usage-related data, such as your IP address.

 

Extent of Data Collection and Storage
In general, providing personal data is not required to use our website. However, in order to deliver our services, we may need to collect your personal data. This is necessary, for example, when sending informational materials or responding to individual inquiries. When you request a service from us, we collect and store your personal data only to the extent necessary for the delivery of the service or the fulfillment of the contract. In certain cases, it may be required to share your personal data with third-party companies that assist us in providing the service or processing the contract. These may include, for instance, printing companies, logistics providers, or other service partners.

- Subscription to the newsletter
- Payment processing
- Additional services and offers for which the collection of your data requires your explicit consent.

Upon completion of the contract, your data will be blocked and deleted in accordance with tax and commercial law retention periodaaas, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or if continued retention is required by university regulations. If you have subscribed to the newsletter using your email address, we will continue to use your email address for our own promotional purposes beyond the completion of the contract, until you opt out of receiving the newsletter.

On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website and internet usage for the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser in connection with Google Analytics will not be merged with other data held by Google.

Collection and Storage of Usage Data

To optimize our website, we collect and store data such as the date and time of page visits, the page from which you accessed our site, and similar information. This is done anonymously, without personally identifying the website user. In some cases, user profiles may be created using a pseudonym. Even in these cases, there is no connection between the pseudonym and the individual behind it, and the collected usage data.

We also use cookies for the collection and storage of usage data. Cookies are small text files stored on your computer that allow for the recording of statistical information such as the operating system, your internet browser, IP address, the previously visited website (referrer URL), and the time of access.

These data are collected solely for statistical purposes, to further optimize our online presence and enhance the attractiveness of our online offerings. The collection and storage are carried out exclusively in an anonymized or pseudonymized form, ensuring that no conclusions can be drawn about you as an individual.

 

Purpose Limitation of Data Use

We strictly adhere to the principle of purpose-specific data use and collect, process, and store your personal data solely for the purposes for which you have provided it to us. Your personal data will not be shared with third parties without your explicit consent, unless it is necessary for the provision of services or the fulfillment of a contract.

Furthermore, data will only be shared with authorized governmental institutions and authorities within the bounds of legal disclosure requirements or if compelled by a court order.

We also take internal data protection very seriously. Our employees and any third-party service providers we engage are obligated to maintain confidentiality and comply with all data protection regulations.

 

Right to Access and Withdrawal

You have the right to request, at any time and without providing a reason, free access to the personal data we have stored about you. You may also request that your data be blocked, corrected, or deleted at any time. Furthermore, you can withdraw your consent to the collection and use of your data at any time, without providing a reason.

To make use of these rights, please contact us in writing at the contact address provided in the imprint. We are always available to answer any further questions you may have regarding our privacy policy and the processing of your personal data.

Please be aware that data protection regulations and procedures, such as those used by Google, may change over time. It is therefore advisable and necessary to stay informed about any updates to legal requirements and practices implemented by companies like Google.
