On the one hand, your data is collected when you communicating them to us. This may, for example, involve data that you enter in a contact form/registration form.

When visitors post comments on the site, we collect the information displayed on the comment form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and user agent string (which identifies the browser) to help detect spam.

From your email address, an anonymized string of characters (also called a hash) can be created and submitted to the Gravatar service to verify that you are using it.

Visitors to this site may download photos stored on this site and extract their location information.

2.3 What do we use your data for?

Some of the data is collected to ensure that the website is error-free. Other data may be used to analyse your user behaviour. Visitor comments may be examined by an automated spam detection service.

§ 3. how long do we store your data?

When you write a comment, it is stored indefinitely, including metadata. In this way we can automatically recognize and release follow-up comments instead of keeping them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our website, we also store the personal information they provide in their user profiles. All users can view, change or delete their personal information at any time (the user name cannot be changed). Website administrators may also view and change this information.

§ 4. how we protect your data ?

§ 4 What rights do you have with regard to your data?

You have the right at any time and free of charge to receive information about the origin, recipient and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to demand the correction or deletion of this data. This does not include the data that we have to store due to administrative, legal or security reasons.

You can contact us at any time at the address given in the imprint for this and other questions on the subject of data protection. In addition, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the responsible data protection authority.

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the check, you have the right to demand that we restrict the processing of your personal data.

If the processing of your personal data has taken place unlawfully, you can demand the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.

If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.

If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 1 DSGVO, a balance must be struck between your and our interests. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests predominate, you have the right to demand that the processing of your personal data be restricted.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data may only be processed – apart from their storage – with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
