Access Data / Server Logfiles

The provider (or its web space provider) collects data about every access to the offer (so-called server log files). The access data includes:

Name of the accessed website, file, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, browser type and version, the user's operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address and the requesting provider.

The provider uses the log data only for statistical evaluations for the purpose of operation, security and optimization of the offer. However, the provider reserves the right to check the log data retrospectively if there is a justified suspicion of illegal use based on concrete indications.

Personal data is only collected, used and passed on by the provider if this is legally permitted or if the users consent to the data collection.

Comments and Contributions

If users leave comments in the blog or other contributions, their IP addresses are stored. This is done for the security of the provider, in case someone writes illegal content in comments and contributions (insults, forbidden political propaganda, etc.).

The information generated by the cookie about the users' use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

Use of Facebook Social Plugins

This offer uses social plugins ("plugins") of the social network facebook.com, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA ("Facebook"). The plugins are recognizable by one of the Facebook logos (white "f" on a blue tile or a "thumbs up" sign) or are marked with the addition "Facebook Social Plugin". The list and appearance of Facebook Social Plugins can be viewed here: http://developers.facebook.com/plugins.

When a user calls up a website of this offer that contains such a plugin, his browser establishes a direct connection with the Facebook servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Facebook directly to your browser and integrated by it into the website. The provider therefore has no influence on the scope of the data that Facebook collects with the help of this plugin and therefore informs the users according to his knowledge:

By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives the information that a user has called up the corresponding page of the offer. If the user is logged in to Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to his Facebook account. If users interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the Like button or making a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted directly from your browser to Facebook and stored there. If a user is not a member of Facebook, it is still possible for Facebook to find out and store his IP address. According to Facebook, only an anonymized IP address is stored in Germany.

The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook, as well as the related rights and setting options for protecting the privacy of users, can be found in Facebook's data protection information: http://www.facebook.com/policy.php.

If a user is a Facebook member and does not want Facebook to collect data about him via this offer and link it to his member data stored on Facebook, he must log out of Facebook before visiting the website.

It is also possible to block Facebook social plugins with add-ons for your browser, for example with the "Facebook Blocker".

Twitter

This offer uses the buttons of the Twitter service. These buttons are offered by Twitter Inc., 795 Folsom St., Suite 600, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. They are recognizable by terms such as "Twitter" or "Follow", combined with a stylized blue bird. With the help of the buttons, it is possible to share a post or page of this offer on Twitter or to follow the provider on Twitter.

When a user calls up a website of this website that contains such a button, his browser establishes a direct connection with the Twitter servers. The content of the Twitter buttons is transmitted directly from Twitter to the user's browser. The provider therefore has no influence on the scope of the data that Twitter collects with the help of this plugin and informs the users accordingly to its knowledge. According to this, only the user's IP address and the URL of the respective website are transmitted when the button is obtained, but not used for other purposes than displaying the button.
Further information on this can be found in Twitter's data protection declaration at http://twitter.com/privacy.
