Use of analysis tools

This purpose also justifies our legitimate interest in the processing of your personal data. By anonymising your IP address, your legitimate interest in the protection of your personal data is sufficiently taken into account.

The data is deleted once it is no longer required for our recording purposes.

Google services

 

We use services on our website from Google, Google Ireland Limited („Google“), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. By integrating these services, Google may also process personal data.

Google and its wholly owned subsidiaries in the U.S. have issued a statement of privacy shield principles – see also https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/frameworks/.

 

We ourselves have no influence on what data Google collects and processes. If you had to register a Google account to use analysis and other services, Google may add the processed information to your account and treat it as personal data, depending on your account settings, see https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/partners.

Liability information

Data security and security measures

We use the common SSL (Secure Socket Layer) procedure within the website visit in connection with the highest encryption level supported by your browser. Usually this is a 256-bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, we use 128-bit v3 technology instead. You can tell whether an individual page of our website is being transmitted in encrypted form by the closed display of the key or lock symbol in the lower status bar of your browser.

 

We also use suitable technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against accidental or deliberate manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or unauthorized access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.

Liability for contents

We create the contents of our website with due care. However, we cannot assume any liability for the correctness, completeness and topicality of the contents. According to § 7 para. 1 TMG we are responsible for our own contents according to the general laws. We assume no responsibility for decisions made by the user based on the aforementioned information. All contents are intended for general information purposes and do not constitute a business, accounting, legal or other consulting service. They are not suitable to replace individual advice by competent persons considering the specific circumstances of the individual case. According to §§ 8 to 10 TMG we are not obliged as a service provider to monitor transmitted, temporarily stored or stored external information or to search for circumstances that indicate illegal activity. Obligations to remove or block the use of information according to general laws remain unaffected. However, liability in this respect is only possible from the time of knowledge of a concrete infringement. If we become aware of any such violations, we will remove the content in question immediately.

Liability for links

Our website also refers to numerous external offers on the Internet. The contents of the linked websites are designed by institutions and/or companies over which we have no influence. We do not adopt the contents listed there as our own. No liability is assumed for the offers of third parties. Should you find dubious or illegal content on this website or on those linked to it, we would be grateful for a corresponding note. However, as soon as there are clear indications of legal violations, we will immediately remove the corresponding link.

Liability e-mail

The sending of e-mails to us from our website does not have a deadline preserving effect. At this point, we would also like to point out that communication by e-mail over the Internet is insecure and that there is a possibility of third parties gaining access to and manipulating data. We therefore kindly ask for your understanding that we are not liable for the content or manipulation of e-mails. In our office we take all reasonable precautions to protect against viruses. In the mutual interest of smooth communication, we ask you to also use virus software and, as a matter of principle, to check file attachments to e-mails before sending or opening them with a virus program, as we do not accept any liability for damage that may occur as a result of any viruses.

Out-of-court settlement of disputes – information according to §§ 36 and 37 VSBG

We do not take part in any dispute resolution proceedings with a consumer arbitration board. Upon request, our competent supervisory authorities mediate in disputes between members of the chamber and their clients, e.g. in connection with a fee invoice or the failure to issue documents. In this case it is a mediation procedure. We do not take part in other mediation procedures.
