The author assumes no liability for the topicality, correctness, completeness or quality of the information provided. Liability claims against the author relating to material or immaterial damage caused by the use or non-use of the information provided, or by the use of incorrect or incomplete information, are excluded as a matter of principle, unless the author can be shown to have acted with intent or gross negligence.

All offers are subject to change and non-binding. The author expressly reserves the right to change, supplement or delete parts of the pages or the entire offering without separate notice, or to cease publication temporarily or permanently.

In the case of direct or indirect references to external websites (“links”) that lie outside the author's area of responsibility, liability would only arise if the author had knowledge of the content and it were technically possible and reasonable for the author to prevent its use in the event of unlawful content.

The author hereby expressly declares that no illegal content was discernible on the linked pages at the time the links were created. The author has no influence whatsoever on the current and future design, the content or the authorship of the linked pages. The author therefore expressly dissociates themselves from all content of all linked pages that was changed after the link was created. This statement applies to all links and references set within the author's own website as well as to third-party entries in guest books, discussion forums and mailing lists set up by the author. Liability for illegal, incorrect or incomplete content, and in particular for damage arising from the use or non-use of information presented in this way, lies solely with the provider of the page referred to, not with the party that merely refers to the publication in question via links.

The author endeavours to observe the copyrights of the graphics, audio documents, video sequences and texts used in all publications, to use graphics, audio documents, video sequences and texts created by the author, or to draw on licence-free graphics, audio documents, video sequences and texts.

All brand names and trademarks mentioned within the website, and where applicable protected by third parties, are subject without restriction to the provisions of the applicable trademark law and the ownership rights of the respective registered owners. The mere mention of a trademark does not imply that it is not protected by the rights of third parties.

The copyright for published objects created by the author remains solely with the author of the pages. Any reproduction or use of such graphics, audio documents, video sequences and texts in other electronic or printed publications is not permitted without the author's express consent.

This disclaimer is to be regarded as part of the website from which this page was referred to. Should parts or individual wordings of this text not, no longer or not completely correspond to the applicable legal situation, the content and validity of the remaining parts of the document remain unaffected.

The following information provides an overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit our website. Personal data is any data that can be used to identify you personally.

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is

REALTIME DEPARTMENT GMBH Managing directors: Torsten Hauck, Christoph Gockel Oberdörnen 17 42283 Wuppertal, Germany +49 202 317387-0 info@realtime-department.de

The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, email addresses).

Some data is provided by you, for example when you contact us by email or phone.

Other data is collected automatically by our server when you visit the website. This is mainly technical data (e.g. web browser, operating system or time of the page request). Details can be found under “Hosting and server log files”.

For security reasons, this site uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the browser’s address bar starting with “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser.

When SSL/TLS encryption is active, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Where we obtain your consent for processing personal data, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR is the legal basis.

Where processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you or for pre-contractual measures, Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR is the legal basis.

Where we process personal data to comply with a legal obligation, Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR is the legal basis. Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR may also apply where processing is necessary for the legitimate interests of our company or a third party, provided your interests, fundamental rights and freedoms do not override them.

This website runs on our own server operated by Hetzner Online GmbH, Industriestr. 25, 91710 Gunzenhausen, Germany. The server is located in a data centre in Nuremberg, Germany. We have concluded a data processing agreement with Hetzner in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.

Each time the website is accessed, the server automatically stores the following information in server log files:

shortened IP address (the last part is removed) date and time of the request requested page or file referrer URL browser type and version, operating system

This data is used to provide the website securely and without errors and is deleted automatically after 14 days. It is not combined with other data sources. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; our legitimate interest lies in the secure and error-free operation of the website.

This website does not set any cookies and does not use any analytics, tracking or advertising services.

All fonts, images and videos are loaded from our own server. Visiting the website does not establish a connection to third-party servers (e.g. Google Fonts). The only exception are embedded YouTube videos, and only after you click on them (see next section).

On some pages we embed videos from the YouTube platform. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

At first we only show a preview image stored on our own server. The player is only loaded in privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com) once you click “play”. This establishes a connection to YouTube’s servers and transmits, among other things, your IP address. Data may also be transferred to the USA; Google is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

The legal basis is your consent given by clicking on the video (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). For more information, see Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

If you contact us by email or phone, we process your details (e.g. name, email address, phone number, content of your request) in order to handle your request. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your request relates to a contract or pre-contractual measures, otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in responding to enquiries). We do not pass on this data without your consent.

We delete your personal data as soon as the purpose for which it was collected no longer applies. Longer storage may occur if we are legally obliged to do so, e.g. due to statutory retention and documentation obligations. In this case we delete the data once the statutory period has expired.

Within the scope of the applicable laws, you have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients and the purpose of processing (Art. 15 GDPR), as well as the right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR), erasure (Art. 17 GDPR) and restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR).

You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract, or to have it transferred to a third party, in a common, machine-readable format (Art. 20 GDPR).

Where processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, you may object at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation (Art. 21 GDPR). You can withdraw any consent you have given at any time with effect for the future (Art. 7(3) GDPR).

To exercise these rights, please contact our data protection officer named below.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR), in particular in the member state of your residence, place of work or the place of the alleged infringement.

To exercise your rights and for any questions about data protection, please contact our data protection officer:
