We use Matomo for web analysis. Protecting your data is important to us, which is why we have configured Matomo to refrain from using any cookies for data collection and to record your IP address in shortened form. As a result, we process data regarding your personal use of the website in anonymous form. We cannot trace these data back to your person.

When using the comment function on this site, information regarding the time at which your comment was published (date and time), the username you have selected and your email address are stored along with your comment itself. However, your email address will not be published.
Comments and the corresponding data are stored and remain on our website until the content on which was commented is fully deleted or until comments need to be deleted for legal reasons (for example, offensive comments).
Comments are stored on the basis of your consent pursuant to point (a) of Article 6(1) GDPR. You may revoke the consent you have provided at any time with future effect. An informal email making this request is sufficient. The legality of the data processing already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.
If you contact editorial by email, please provide us with your personal data such as first name, surname, email address and details regarding your enquiry.
We will process your data and potentially forward it to third parties if necessary in order to process your enquiry.
We and the service providers we engage process your anonymised personal data and communication data exclusively for the following purposes:

Compliance with our legal obligations, point (c) of Article 6(1) GDPR
Personal data is also collected and processed in order to comply with our legal obligations such as our duties to monitor and provide notification.
Pursuit of our legitimate interests or the interests of other controllers or third parties, point (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR

We can also share your personal data with our service providers inside the EU, where the service providers help us process your enquiry in line with our instructions (e.g., IT service providers).
We will only process and store your personal data for as long as necessary to comply with our legal and contractual obligations. When the processing of the data is no longer necessary, we will erase the data without undue delay.
We only use strictly necessary cookies on our website, without which website use would be impossible or limited, so-called session cookies (also referred to as temporary or transient cookies).

Therefore, please note that the following provisions only apply insofar as we actually have control over the processing of data in connection with these profiles.

Our website uses plug-ins operated by the social network Facebook, 1601 South California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA. These Facebook plug-ins are identifiable by the Facebook logo or the

browser establishes a direct connection to the Facebook servers. The content of the plug-in is transferred by Facebook directly to your browser and embedded in the page.
The embedded plug-ins provide Facebook with the information that you have accessed the corresponding page of our website. If you are logged in to Facebook, Facebook can link the visit to your Facebook profile.
