If SSL encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Please make sure you are aware of the applicable data protection conditions before submitting any personal data to these websites.
INTEGRATION OF THIRD-PARTY SERVICES AND CONTENT
In some cases, third-party content may be included on this website, e.g. maps from Google Maps, RSS feeds or graphics from other websites. This always presupposes that the providers of this content (hereinafter “providers”) use your IP address. Without your IP address, they could not send the content to your browser. The IP address is therefore required for the display of this content. We endeavor to only use content whose respective providers only use the IP address to provide the content. However, we have no influence on whether the providers save the IP address for statistical purposes, for example.
NEWSLETTER
If you register for our newsletter, we will use your e-mail address to send the newsletter. You can unsubscribe from the subscription at any time. Your e-mail address will not be used for any other purpose.
If you open the newsletter or click on a link in it, this will be logged on our web server (date, time, e-mail address). This is for internal statistical purposes. This data is not merged into personal usage profiles.
INTERNAL AREA / FORUM
To register as a user for the internal area, it is necessary to provide personal data.
Mandatory fields that are necessary for the justification, content design or change of the usage relationship are marked accordingly and are mandatory for the provision of the services. Registered users can change or delete voluntary information in their profile settings at any time.
If you register as a user, the following information about you is always visible to other users of the internal area:
- Your username or name (depending on your selection)

SOCIAL PLUG-INS FROM FACEBOOK, GOOGLE+ AND TWITTER USING THE “2-CLICK SOLUTION”
So-called social plug-ins (hereinafter “plug-ins”) from the social networks Facebook and Google+ as well as the microblogging service Twitter are used on our website. These services are offered by the companies Facebook Inc., Google Inc. and Twitter Inc. (hereinafter “providers”).
Facebook is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (hereinafter “Facebook”). An overview of the Facebook plug-ins and their appearance can be found here https://developers.Facebook.com/docs/plugins
Google+ is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (hereinafter “Google”). An overview of the Google plug-ins and their appearance can be found here https://developers.google.com/+/web/
Twitter is operated by Twitter Inc., 1355 Market St, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103 (hereinafter “Twitter”). You can find an overview of the Twitter buttons and their appearance here: https://twitter.com/about/resources/buttons
In order to increase the protection of your data when you visit our website, the plug-ins are integrated into the website using a so-called “2-click solution”. This integration ensures that when you visit a page on our website that contains such plug-ins, no connection is established with the servers of Facebook, Google and Twitter. Your browser only establishes a direct connection to the servers of Google, Facebook or Twitter when you activate the plug-in and thus give your consent to data transmission. The content of the respective plug-in is then transmitted directly to your browser by the associated provider and integrated into the page. By integrating the plug-ins, the providers receive the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a profile with the relevant provider or are not currently logged in. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to a server of the respective provider in the USA and stored there.
If you are logged into one of the social networks, the providers can immediately assign your visit to our website to your profile on Facebook or Google+. If you interact with the plug-ins, for example by clicking the “Like” button, the “+1” button or the “Tweet” button, the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to the provider’s server and stored there. The information is also published on the social network or on your Twitter account and displayed to your contacts there.
The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by the providers as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for the protection of your privacy can be found in the data protection information of the providers:
Facebook privacy policy https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy
Google privacy policy https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/?hl=de
Data protection information from Twitter https://twitter.com/privacy?lang=de
If you do not want Google, Facebook or Twitter to directly assign the data collected via our website to your profile in the respective service, you must log out of the relevant service before activating the plug-in.
INTERNAL AREA / FORUM
To register as a user for the internal area, it is necessary to provide personal data.
Mandatory fields that are necessary for the justification, content design or change of the usage relationship are marked accordingly and are mandatory for the provision of the services. Registered users can change or delete voluntary information in their profile settings at any time.
