Privacy Information Notice

Use of Google services (analysis cookies)
Google Ireland (based in Ireland) is the provider of the following services and acts as our Processor. Google Ireland, for its part, obtains the service from Google LLC, USA, (both "Google"). The processing of personal data is subject to a data processing agreement with Google Ireland Limited. If personal data is processed in so-called third countries (in particular by Google USA), the EU standard contractual clauses apply.

• Google Analytics
  Google uses cookies to track the behaviour of visitors to our website (duration, frequency of pages viewed, geographical origin of access, etc.) and creates reports for us on the use of our website on this basis. We keep the data for two months. We have configured the service so that the IP addresses of visitors are shortened by Google in Europe before being forwarded to the USA and thus cannot be traced. We have switched off the "Data sharing" and "Signals" settings. Although we can assume that the information we share with Google is not personal data for Google, it is possible that Google can draw conclusions about the identity of visitors from this data for its own purposes, create personal profiles and link this data to the Google accounts of these individuals. Information on the data protection of Google Analytics can be found here [https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en&sjid=11547348219620539369-EU].
  
  You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser accordingly. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google and 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=e]
  
  
• Google Tag Manager
  Google Tag Manager is a tool that allows us to embed tracking or statistical tools and other technologies on our website. The Google Tag Manager itself does not create user profiles, does not store cookies and does not perform any independent analyses. It only serves to manage and play out the tools integrated via it. However, the Google Tag Manager records your IP address, which may be transmitted to Google in the USA.
  

The above data processing is based on your consent, which you gave at the beginning of your visit to our website. You can revoke this consent at any time [set privacy settings].

YouTube (external components)
We integrate video content from YouTube into this website. Our service provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. The video portal is operated by YouTube LLC, USA. We have concluded a data processing agreement with our service provider. If personal data is processed in so-called third countries (especially by YouTube in the USA), EU standard contractual clauses apply.

When you visit one of our pages equipped with a YouTube plugin, a connection to YouTube's servers is established. In doing so, YouTube sets at least one cookie that stores your IP address and our URL. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to assign your surfing behaviour directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account. You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser accordingly.

The data processing is based on your consent, which you gave at the beginning of your visit to our website. You can revoke this consent at any time [set privacy settings].

Contacting us by e-mail or telephone
If you contact us, your contact details will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your request and, if applicable, also processed by persons commissioned by us to provide you with advice. The data will also be processed by our e-mail provider or by our telephone service provider. The data you provide will also be processed by our external IT service providers and our server provider. Depending on the request, your enquiry will be answered by our forum moderator, Theo Balon, Germany.

The legal basis for this processing is the initiation of a contract or the processing of a contract or our legitimate interest in responding to your request. If no contractual relationship is concluded, we generally delete the data within one year, unless you have given your consent to longer storage.

Forum participation
To participate in the forum, you must register. For this we need the following information: Username, time zone, country, gender, year of birth, place of residence.

To ensure your proper registration and to prevent unauthorised logins by third parties, you will receive an activation link by e-mail after your registration to activate your account. Only after successful registration do we permanently store the data you have transmitted in our system. The legal basis for data processing is your consent. You can revoke this consent at any time by writing and have us delete your registration. The same applies to your contributions in the forum.

We store your data until you revoke or delete your registration.

The data is also processed by our external forum moderator. Processing takes place in Switzerland and the EU.
