KG, Kulturstr. 51-55, 47055 Duisburg, brabender@brabender.com, +49(0)203 7788-0 on this website (hereinafter referred to as “Provider”).

The legal basis for data protection can be found in the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the German Telemedia Act (TMG).

The accessed data include:

The name of the requested web page, data file, date and time of the access request, amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, browser type and version, the user's operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address and the requesting provider.

The Provider uses the log data only for statistical analysis for the purpose of the operation, security and optimisation of the website. Should there be any suspicion of unlawful use the Provider reserves the right to check the log data retrospectively.

Dealing with personal data

Integration of contents and third-party services/p>

This website contains individual elements of third-party content, such as YouTube videos, maps from Google Maps, RSS feeds or graphics from other websites. The IP address of the user must necessarily be made known to the providers (hereinafter referred to as “Third-Party Providers") of this content for the integration of such third-party content to be possible because the IP address is required for the delivery of the content to the browser of the user and the display thereof. We make every effort to restrict the content selection to ensure that the respective providers use the IP address only for the delivery of the content. However, we have no influence on Third-Party Providers in respect of any decision on their part to store the IP address, e.g. for statistical purposes. We inform users of this as soon as it comes to our attention.
