For the connection to this social network we use in particular the contribution widget of Instagram Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA, 94025, USA ("Instagram") on this website. The purpose of the so-called widget is to draw your attention to further content (e.g. photo or video) that is thematically related to the content you are reading. More information about the function & appearance of the Instagram plugin can be found at https://www.instagram.com/developer/embedding/

If this post widget is directly embedded on our website, the content (e.g. photo or video) of the embedded post will be sent by Instagram directly to your browser (see Section 4.2). At the same time, certain data will be transmitted from your browser to Instagram. This happens regardless of whether you click on the post (e.g. photo or video) or not. We have no influence on the amount of data Instagram collects in this way. According to our current state of knowledge, the following data is involved, in particular for the representation of the embedded Instagram contributions:

  • Visited page on our website that contains the article (e.g. photo or video),
  • the data generally transmitted by your browser (IP address, browser type & version, operating system, time),
  • your Instagram user ID for registered & logged in Instagram users.

For the purpose & scope of the data collection & the further processing & use of the data by Instagram as well as your related rights & settings to protect your privacy, please refer to Instagram's privacy policy: https://www.instagram.com/about/legal/privacy/.

Embedded Instagram contributions can also be hidden by browser add-ons so that Instagram does not collect data.

10. Web Fonts from Adobe Fonts

This page uses so-called web fonts provided by Adobe Fonts for the uniform display of fonts. When you call up a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly.

For this purpose, the browser you are using must connect to the Adobe Fonts servers. This allows Adobe Fonts to know that your IP address has been used to access our website. The use of Adobe Fonts Web Fonts is in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our online services. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font will be used by your computer.

Further information on Adobe Fonts Web Fonts can be found at  https://fonts.adobe.com and in the Adobe Typekit Privacy Policy: https://www.adobe.com/de/privacy/policies/typekit.html

11. the lack of confidentiality in Internet communications

Please note that normal unencrypted communication via the Internet (e.g. by e-mail) does not guarantee complete confidentiality and data security. We therefore recommend sending confidential information by post.

12. exclusion of liability

LIABILITY FOR CONTENTS

The contents of our pages were created with the greatest care. For the correctness, completeness and topicality of the contents we can take over however no guarantee. As a service provider we are responsible according to § 7 Abs.1 TMG for our own contents on these pages according to the general laws. According to §§ 8 to 10 TMG we are not obliged as a service provider to monitor transmitted or stored third-party information or to investigate circumstances that indicate illegal activity. Obligations to remove or block the use of information in accordance with general laws remain unaffected by this. However, liability in this respect is only possible from the time of knowledge of a concrete violation of the law. As soon as we become aware of such infringements, we will remove the content immediately.

LIABILITY FOR LINKS

Our pages may contain links to external websites of third parties over whose contents we have no influence. Therefore, we cannot assume any liability for these external contents. The respective provider or operator of the pages is always responsible for the contents of the linked pages. The linked pages were checked for possible legal infringements at the time of linking. Illegal contents were not recognizable at the time of linking. A permanent control of the contents of the linked pages is not reasonable without concrete evidence of an infringement.
