Copyright

The content and works created by the site operators on these pages are subject to German copyright law. Duplication, processing, distribution, and any kind of exploitation outside the limits of copyright law require the written consent of the respective author or creator. External links and disclaimer: Links to the content of external websites are for information purposes only. Responsibility for this external content lies solely with the provider who makes the content available; the content is not adopted as our own. We do not assume any liability for possible data protection or other legal violations in other offers to which we have provided a link.

Privacy Policy

The protection of your personal data is a fundamental right. The TACNET 4.0 consortium processes your personal data only in good faith for specified purposes. In this privacy policy, we inform you about how your personal data is handled when you visit and use our website. Visiting and using our website is generally possible without the collection of personal data. Personal data is only collected on our website to the extent technically necessary. The data collected will not be passed on to third parties unless there is a specific legal obligation to do so. We would like to point out that data transmission on the internet when visiting and using our website is protected and therefore cannot be easily intercepted or falsified by third parties.

Access Data

Every time our website is accessed, usage, traffic, and connection data are collected and temporarily stored in a log file.

The following data is stored for every access/retrieval:

IP address

• Transmitted user-agent information (especially type/version of web browser, operating system, etc.)
• Transmitted referrer information (URL of the referring page)
• Date and time of access/retrieval
• Transmitted access method/function
• Transmitted input values (search terms, etc.)
• Page accessed or file retrieved
• Amount of data transferred
• Status of the access/retrieval processing

The stored data sets can be statistically evaluated in order to adapt and optimize our website to the needs of our visitors. Techniques that make it possible to track the access behavior of users are not used. The creation of user profiles (tracking) is excluded.

The stored data sets cannot be assigned to specific persons. As a matter of principle, this data is not merged with other data sources. However, we reserve the right to check the stored data retrospectively if we become aware of concrete indications of illegal use.

Cookies

We use so-called cookies on our website. Cookies are small files that are stored by your web browser. The cookies used on our website do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain any malware. They enable user-friendly and effective use of our website. We transfer so-called session cookies to your web browser. They are only valid for the duration of your visit to our website and have no meaning outside of our website. Session cookies are required to identify your session with a unique number during your visit and to transmit our content in your preferred language. After the end of your visit, the session cookies are automatically deleted when you close your web browser. We also transfer permanent cookies to your web browser with a maximum validity period of 365 days. We use these cookies exclusively to respect your settings for the type of display (normal, inverted) and for the font size during your next visit to our website. Furthermore, it is noted whether you have taken note of the information about the use of cookies in your web browser. You can set your web browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases or exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general. You can also set the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your web browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of our website may be restricted. In any case, our range of information remains fully available.

Social Media

We do not integrate social media plugins into our website. Therefore, when you visit our website, no data is transmitted to social media services. Profiling by third parties is thus excluded. However, you have the option of switching directly to our information services on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. For the use of these services, we refer to the privacy policies of the respective service providers.

Correspondence

You have the option of contacting us by email. We use your email address and other personal contact details exclusively for correspondence with you. Due to legal obligations, all email correspondence is archived. Insofar as necessary to protect our legitimate interests, your email address and other personal contact details from the correspondence may be stored in our contact database.
