Liability for content: As a service provider, we are responsible for our own content on these pages in accordance with Section 7 (1) TMG (German Telemedia Act) and general legislation. According to § 8 to 10 TMG, however, we as a service provider are not obliged to monitor transmitted or stored third-party information or to investigate circumstances that indicate illegal activity. Obligations to remove or block the use of information in accordance with general legislation remain unaffected by this. However, liability in this respect is only possible from the time of knowledge of a specific infringement. As soon as we become aware of such infringements, we will remove this content immediately.

Our website contains links to external third-party websites over whose content we have no influence. Therefore, we cannot accept any liability for this third-party content. The respective provider or operator of the pages is always responsible for the content of the linked pages. The linked pages were checked for possible legal violations at the time of linking. Illegal contents were not recognisable at the time of linking. However, permanent monitoring of the content of the linked pages is not reasonable without concrete evidence of an infringement. If we become aware of any legal infringements, we will remove such links immediately.

Gender-neutral personal designations: For reasons of easier readability, gender-specific differentiation (e.g. customers; assistants) has been omitted for personal designations. Insofar as only one of the two gender-specific variants is mentioned in the following text, this should apply to both genders in the interests of equal treatment.

We use the "Microsoft Teams" service of Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399 USA (hereinafter "Microsoft Teams") to conduct online meetings, video conferences and/or webinars.

When using Microsoft Teams, different data is processed. The scope of the data processed depends on the data you provide before or during participation in an online meeting, video conference or webinar. When using Microsoft Teams, data of the communication participants is processed and stored on Microsoft Teams servers. This data may include, in particular, your login data (name, email address, telephone (optional) and password) and meeting data (topic, participant IP address, device information, description (optional)). In addition, visual and audio contributions from participants as well as voice input in chats can be processed.

When processing personal data that is required to fulfil a contract with you (this also applies to processing operations that are required to carry out pre-contractual measures), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. If you have given us your consent to process your data, the processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Any consent given can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.

In addition, the legal basis for data processing when conducting online meetings, video conferences or webinars is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR in the effective conduct of the online meeting, webinar or video conference. Further information on data use by Microsoft Teams can be found in the Microsoft Teams privacy policy at https://privacy.microsoft.com/de-de/privacystatement.

As part of hosting, we process personal user data for the purpose of web analysis (searching for and analysing errors on our website, evaluating the use of our website, deriving measures for the future development of our website). The legal basis for data processing is the absolute technical necessity for the provision and delivery of the "website" service expressly requested by you in accordance with Section 96 (3) TKG. The data is not forwarded to third parties and is already anonymised in the first processing step. Personal data is therefore not stored beyond the first processing step. You can object to the processing of your personal user data by activating the Do-Not-Track option in your web browser. Our web analysis software respects this setting and does not process any personal data if the do-not-track setting is activated.
