Scope
This data protection declaration provides users with information about the type, scale and purpose of the collection and use of your data by the responsible body.

The legal framework for data protection is formed by the Federal Data Protection Law (BDSG) and the Tele Media Law (TMG).

Capture of general information
With every access to this offering information is captured automatically by us and/or the web space provider. This information, also referred to as server log files, is of a general nature and does not allow any conclusions to be drawn as to your person.

Among other things the following information is captured: Name of the website, file, date, amount of data, operating system, domain name of your internet provider, the so-called referrer URL (the site from which you navigated to our offering) and the IP address.

Without these data it would sometimes be technically impossible to deliver and display the content of the website. In this respect the data capture is mandatory. Furthermore we use the anonymous information for statistical purposes. They assist us in optimising our offering and the technology. We also reserve the right to retro-check the log files in cases of suspicion of illegal use of our offering.

Rendering chargeable services
To allow us to render chargeable services we retrieve additional data. This applies for example to payment details.

In order to ensure the security of your data during transfer we employ encryption procedures (such as SSL) via HTTPS, which reflect the current state of technology.

According to Art. 28 DS-GVO, a contract for processing exists with our web space provider jweiland.net Jochen Weiland, Echterdinger Straße 57, D-70794 Filderstadt, Germany.

Contact form
If you contact us via the online form or via e-mail we save the data you gave in order to respond to your enquiry and to be able to ask possible follow-up questions and within the scope of any order processing that may result from this.

Involvement of third party services and content
From time to time our offering contains content, services and benefits from other providers. These may be maps that have been provided by Google maps, videos from YouTube as well as graphics and images from other websites. So that these data can be retrieved and represented the transfer of the IP address is mandatory. This means that the providers (henceforth called “third-party providers”) will see the IP address of the relevant user.

While taking great care to use exclusively third-party providers that need the IP address only in order to deliver content we have no influence as to whether the IP address might be stored. In this case this procedure serves statistical purposes, amongst other things. If we have knowledge of an IP address being stored we will advise our users accordingly.
