Data Protection

I value the protection of your data. To inform you fully about the use of personal data, we ask you to take note of the following privacy policy.

Personal Data

Personal data that you submit electronically on this website, such as your name, email address, address, or other personal information, will only be used for the stated purpose, kept securely, and only shared with third parties if explicitly noted (e.g., in the case of book orders). The provider automatically collects and stores information on the web server, such as the browser used, operating system, referring page, IP address, time of access, etc. These data cannot be assigned to specific individuals without further examination of additional data sources, and we do not further evaluate this data unless there is unlawful use of our website.

Form Data and Comments

If website visitors leave comments or form entries, the data entered and their IP addresses will be stored. This is done for security reasons in case someone writes illegal content (insults, left- or right-wing extremist propaganda, hate postings, etc.). In such cases, we are interested in the identity of the author.

Privacy Policy for the Use of Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies," which are text files stored on your computer that allow an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is generally transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA. If IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. 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 usage and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google. You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser software accordingly; however, please note that in this case, you may not be able to fully use all functions of this website. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google, as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

Further information on terms of use and data protection can be found at https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/en.html and https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en. Please note that Google Analytics on this website has been extended by the code "gat._anonymizeIp();" to ensure anonymized collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking).
