As a service provider, we are responsible for our own content on these pages in accordance with Section 7 Paragraph 1 of the German Telemedia Act (TMG). However, according to Sections 8 to 10 of the TMG, we are not obligated as a service provider to monitor transmitted or stored third-party information or to investigate circumstances that indicate illegal activity.

We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy. When you use this website, various personal data are collected. Personal data is data that can be used to personally identify you. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.
Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g., when communicating via email) can have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
Note regarding the responsible body
The responsible body for data processing on this website is:
Ursula Muss
At Science Park 11
54296 Trier
Telephone: 0651 9663930
Email: ursula@muss.de
The responsible entity is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.).
Revocation of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. An informal notification by email to us is sufficient. The legality of data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to object to data processing in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
If data processing is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis for processing can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the purpose of establishing, exercising or defending legal claims (objection pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR).
If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection pursuant to Article 21(2) GDPR).
Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. This right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.
Right to data portability
You have the right to receive the data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, either for yourself or for a third party, in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done if technically feasible.
SSL or TLS encryption
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as requests that you send to us as the site operator.
You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser's address bar changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the padlock icon in your browser's address bar. When SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be intercepted by third parties.
Information, deletion and correction
Under applicable law, you have the right to request information, free of charge, about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, as well as the right to rectification or erasure of this data. For this purpose, and for any further questions regarding personal data, you can contact us at any time at the address provided in the legal notice.
Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time at the address provided in the legal notice. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases:
If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we generally need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification process, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request restriction of processing instead of erasure. If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing instead of erasure.
If you have objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of interests between your interests and ours must be carried out. Until it is determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data – apart from being stored – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.

Our website uses so-called "cookies." Cookies are small text files that do not harm your device. They are stored on your device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted after you leave our website. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or until they are automatically deleted by your web browser.

Other cookies are used to analyze user behavior or to display advertising. Cookies that are required for carrying out the electronic communication process (necessary cookies), for providing certain functions you have requested (functional cookies, e.g., for the shopping cart function), or for optimizing the website (e.g., cookies for measuring website traffic) are stored on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically flawless and optimized provision of its services.

You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to block the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. Disabling cookies may restrict the functionality of this website.
If cookies from third-party companies or for analysis purposes are used, we will inform you separately about this within the framework of this privacy policy and, if necessary, request your consent.

YouTube with enhanced privacy
This website embeds videos from YouTube. The operator of the site is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
We use YouTube in enhanced privacy mode. According to YouTube, this mode prevents YouTube from storing information about visitors to this website before they watch the video. However, enhanced privacy mode does not necessarily prevent data from being shared with YouTube partners. For example, YouTube establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network regardless of whether you watch a video.
As soon as you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection to YouTube's servers is established. This informs the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to directly associate your browsing behavior with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.
Furthermore, YouTube may store various cookies on your device after a video is started. These cookies allow YouTube to obtain information about visitors to this website.
This information is used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve user-friendliness, and prevent fraud. The cookies remain on your device until you delete them.
Additional data processing operations may be triggered after a YouTube video starts, over which we have no control.
The use of YouTube is in our legitimate interest in presenting our online content in an appealing way. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. If consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR; this consent can be revoked at any time.

The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser settings accordingly. However, please note that in this case you may not be able to fully utilize all the functions of this website.

Google reCAPTCHA
We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (hereinafter “reCAPTCHA”) on this website. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
reCAPTCHA is used to verify whether data entry on this website (e.g., in a contact form) is done by a human or an automated program. To do this, reCAPTCHA analyzes the website visitor's behavior based on various characteristics. This analysis begins automatically as soon as the visitor enters the website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various pieces of information (e.g., IP address, the visitor's time spent on the website, or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google.
The reCAPTCHA analysis runs entirely in the background. Website visitors are not notified that an analysis is taking place.
The data is stored and analyzed on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its website from abusive automated access and spam. If consent has been requested (e.g., consent to the storage of cookies), processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR; this consent can be revoked at any time.
