Disclaimer / Data protection
1. Content of the online offer
The author accepts no responsibility for the topicality, correctness, completeness or quality of the information provided. She is not liable for material and/or immaterial damage caused by the use or non-use of the information provided or by the use of incorrect and incomplete information, unless the author can be proven to have acted with intent or gross negligence. All offers are subject to change and non-binding. The author expressly reserves the right to change, supplement or delete parts of the pages or the entire offer without prior notice or to discontinue publication temporarily or permanently.
2. References and links
In the case of direct or indirect references to external websites ("hyperlinks") that are outside the author's area of responsibility, the author is only liable if she is aware of the content of the external websites and it is technically possible and reasonable for her to prevent their use in the event of illegal content. With this in mind, the author expressly declares that at the time the links were created, no illegal content was discernible on the linked pages. The author has no influence whatsoever on the current and future design, content or authorship of the linked pages. She therefore hereby expressly distances herself from all content on all linked pages that has been changed since the links were created. This statement applies to all links and references set within the author's own website as well as to external entries in guest books, discussion forums, link directories, mailing lists and all other forms of databases set up by the author to which external write access is possible. The provider of the page to which reference is made is solely liable for illegal, incorrect or incomplete content and in particular for damage resulting from the use or non-use of such information, not the person who merely refers to the respective publication via links.
In its judgement of 12 May 1998, the Regional Court of Hamburg ruled that by placing a link, one may be held responsible for the content of the linked pages. This can only be prevented by expressly distancing oneself from this content.
The following applies to all links on this homepage: The author hereby expressly distances herself from all content on all linked pages on this homepage and does not adopt this content as her own.
3. Copyright and trademark law
The author endeavours to observe the copyrights of the images, graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts used in all publications, to use images, graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts created by herself or to make use of licence-free graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts. All brand names and trademarks mentioned on the website and possibly protected by third parties are subject without restriction to the provisions of the applicable trademark law and the ownership rights of the respective registered owners. The mere mention of a trademark does not imply that it is not protected by the rights of third parties! The copyright for published objects created by the author herself remains solely with the author of the pages. Any duplication or use of such graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts in other electronic or printed publications is not permitted without the express consent of the author.

Google Maps
This website uses Google Maps to display maps and create route plans. Google Maps is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. If you use the advanced features of Google, for example by clicking on the map displayed, you are using a Google service outside our sphere of influence.

Tracking
Information about Firstlead GmbH / ADCELL partner programme: This website uses tracking cookies from Firstlead GmbH under the ADCELL brand (www.adcell.de). As soon as a visitor clicks on an advertisement with the partner link, a cookie is set. Firstlead GmbH / ADCELL uses cookies to track the origin of orders. Firstlead GmbH / ADCELL also uses so-called tracking pixels. These allow information such as visitor traffic on the pages to be evaluated. The information generated by cookies and tracking pixels about the use of this website (including the IP address) and the delivery of advertising formats is transmitted to a Firstlead GmbH / ADCELL server and stored there. Among other things, Firstlead GmbH / ADCELL can recognise that the partner link on this website has been clicked. Firstlead GmbH / ADCELL may pass on this (anonymised) information to contractual partners under certain circumstances, but data such as the IP address is not merged with other stored data.
You can opt out of tracking by ADCELL at https://www.adcell.de/datenschutz.
On this page, you will find further information about ADCELL tracking and how to control ADCELL tracking in the form of an opt-out cookie. If this is set, all tracking by ADCELL (view, click, retargeting, third party, etc.) will be deactivated.
Social media plugins
Our website uses social media plugins ("plugins") from the social networks Facebook and Google+.
Facebook is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA ("Facebook"). An overview of Facebook plugins and their appearance can be found here:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/
Google+ is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). An overview of Google plugins and their appearance can be found here:
https://developers.google.com/+/web/
To increase the protection of your data when visiting our website, the plugins are integrated into the page using the so-called "2-click solution" from Heise Online. This integration ensures that when you visit a page that contains such plugins, no connection is established with the servers of the respective providers. Only when you activate the plugins and thus give your consent to the data transfer does your browser establish a direct connection to the servers of the activated providers. The content of the respective plugin is then transmitted directly from the associated provider to your browser and integrated into the page. By integrating the plugins, the providers receive the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page, even if you do not have a profile with the respective provider or are not currently logged in to the respective provider's service. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted from your browser directly to a server of the respective provider, possibly in the USA, and stored there.
If you are logged in to one of the providers' services, the providers can immediately associate your visit to our website with your profile/account with the respective provider. If you interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the "Like" button, the "+1" button or the "Tweet" button, the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to a server of the providers and stored there. The information is also published on the social network or on your social media account and displayed there to your contacts. For the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by the providers, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy, please refer to the providers' privacy policies:
Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/policy.php]
Google+ [https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/]
If you do not want the providers to assign the data collected via our website directly to your profile/account in the respective service, you must log out of the corresponding service before activating the plugins.
Security
To secure all data stored with us, we use technical security measures to protect your information from damage, loss and unauthorised access. The security measures are regularly updated and improved in line with ongoing technical developments.
Due to restrictive access authorisation, the data you transmit to us is only accessible to the group of people required to fulfil the purpose.
Visits to our website are made via an encrypted SSL connection. This protects your entries from unauthorised access.
Your rights
You have the right to obtain information about the personal data stored about you. You also have the right to correct, restrict and delete data, as well as to object to consents already given. In addition, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority.
You have the right to object to the processing of personal data concerning you. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we are legally obliged to do so or can demonstrate compelling reasons for the processing.
The assertion of all the above rights is generally free of charge for you and can be done informally. To exercise your rights, please contact the controller at the address given above. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact our data protection officer.
