Disclaimer

1. Online Content

The author assumes no responsibility for the topicality, correctness, completeness or quality of the information. Liability claims against the author, which refer to damages of material or immaterial nature caused by use or disuse of the presented information or through the use of faulty and incomplete information are fundamentally excluded, provided that the author is not demonstrably intentional or grossly negligent fault exists.
The Author expressly reserves to alter, amend, delete or cease publication temporarily or permanently parts of the pages or the entire offer without separate announcement.

2. References and Links

For references and links with direct or indirect references to foreign websites ("links"), which lie beyond the area of responsibility of the author, liability would only be assumed if the author had knowledge of the content and if it would be technically possible and feasible to prevent their use in case of illegal contents.
The author herewith expressly declares that at the time of establishing the link, no illicit content was recognizable on the linked internet pages. The author has no influence of any kind on the current and future design, content and copyright of the linked/connected websites. Therefore, the author expressly distances himself from all content of all linked/connected internet pages that were changed after establishing the link. This declaration applies to all links and references published within our own website as well as for entries made by others in guest books, discussion forums and mailing lists created by this author. For unlawful, faulty or incomplete content and in particular for the damages which originate from the use or disuse of such kind of presented information there is expressly no liability by the party who merely refers to the according publication through links as opposed to liability by the provider of the respective site.

3. Copyright and Trademark Laws

In all published material, the author endeavors to respect copyright for all graphs and texts, to use graphs and texts which he himself has produced or to use graphs and texts that belong to the public domain.
All brands and trademarks named and, if applicable, protected by third parties that are contained within the website are subject without restriction to the provisions of the respectively applicable labelling law and the ownership rights of the respectively registered owner/s. The conclusion that it is not protected by the rights of third parties is not to be drawn solely on the basis of the simple naming of a trademark!
The copyright for objects published or created by the author remains exclusively with the author of the pages. A reproduction or use of such graphs and texts in other electronic or printed publications are not permitted without the express consent of the author.

4. Data Protection

We process your personal data exclusively in accordance with the legal provisions in force.
The EU Data Protection Ordinance (GDPR) serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data required for the performance of a contract, for processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, if consent has been given, if it is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest or a provision, as well as for the protection of the vital interest of the data subject or of public interest.
Every device wishing to establish a connection to the Internet requires an IP address. Temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to the user's computer. Before proceeding the IP address is abbreviated and processed anonymously. The unabbreviated IP address is neither stored nor processed. Our server stores your IP address for 14 days for our own security purposes.
For processing activities encompassed by none or several of the aforementioned legal bases, processing is performed insofar as it is necessary to uphold a legitimate interest and insofar as this interest is not outweighed by your interests, fundamental rights or freedoms (art. 6 para. 1 lit f GDPR).
If data is processed for a purpose other than that specified upon collection, a compatibility test is performed pursuant to art. 6 para 4 of the GDPR. Continued processing is then only permitted if the original purpose is compatible with the new purpose or if this processing is permitted on a specific legal basis. Recognised compatible purposes include the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims under civil law, unless outweighed by an interest of the data subject, in which case we will inform you about the change in purpose. If the new purpose is not compatible with the purpose specified upon collection, the data will be collected again on a new legal basis. We will also inform you about the change in purpose in this case.

Transmission of Your Data to Third Parties

We will only transmit your personal data to third parties if transmission is required to comply with our contractual obligations towards you if this evidently needs to be done through or jointly with another provider (e. g. partnerships), if we are permitted or required by law or if you have provided us with the corresponding consent.
To provide our service, selected personal data may be processed within our foundation (for thank you letters for donations, inter alia). Insofar as we are required to do so by law or are permitted to do so under data protection law, we will transmit personal data to authorities, such as the police or the public prosecution service (art. 6 para. 1 lit c GDPR). This data is transmitted on the basis of our legitimate interest in preventing abuse, prosecuting criminal acts and securing, establishing and enforcing legal claims, unless outweighed by your rights and interests in the protection of your personal data, art. 6 para. 1 lit f GDPR.

Storage Time

We only store personal data only as long as we are authorised to do so and as long as the purpose of processing is still relevant. Statutory retention periods govern how long personal data is stored for. Once this period has expired, the corresponding data is routinely erased.
5. Legal Validity of this Disclaimer
This disclaimer is to be regarded as part of the internet publication which you were referred from. If sections or individual terms are not legal or correct, are not or no longer complete, the content or validity of the other parts remain uninfluenced by this fact.
