Scope of application

This data protection declaration is intended to inform the users of this website about the type, scope and purpose of the collection and use of personal data by Dr. Jörn Günther Rare Books in accordance with the Federal Data Protection Act and the Telemedia Act.

The website operator takes your data protection very seriously and treats your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory provisions.

Please bear in mind that data transmission over the Internet can always be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection against access by third parties is not possible.

Access data

The website operator or site provider (Cyon GmbH) collects data about access to the site and stores it as “server log files”. The following data is logged:

  • Visited website
  • Time at the time of access
  • Amount of data sent in bytes
  • Source/reference from which you reached the page
  • Browser used
  • Operating system used
  • IP address used

The data collected is only used for statistical analysis and to improve the website. However, the website operator reserves the right to check the server log files retrospectively if there are concrete indications of unlawful use.

Handling of personal data

The website operator only collects, uses and passes on your personal data if this is permitted by law or if you consent to the collection of data.

Personal data is all information that can be used to identify you personally and that can be traced back to you – for example, your name, e-mail address and telephone number.

Handling contact data

If you contact the website operator using the contact options provided, your details will be stored so that they can be used to process and respond to your inquiry. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your consent.

YouTube

This website contains at least one plugin from YouTube, which belongs to Google Inc. based in San Bruno, California, USA.

We use the YouTube no-cookies function, i.e. we have activated extended data protection, videos are not accessed via youtube.com, but via youtube-nocookie.com.

This is provided by YouTube itself and ensures that YouTube does not initially store any cookies on your device. However, when the relevant pages are accessed, the IP address and the other data mentioned in section 4 are transmitted and thus, in particular, which of our Internet pages you have visited. However, this information cannot be assigned to you if you are permanently logged in to YouTube or another Google service when you access the page.

As soon as you start playing an embedded video by clicking on it, YouTube only stores cookies on your device through the extended data protection mode, which do not contain any personally identifiable data, unless you are currently logged in to a Google service. These cookies can be prevented by making the appropriate browser settings and extensions.

Google/YouTube: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland – Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy, Opt-Out: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated, Privacy Shield: https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active.

Cookies

This website uses the YouTube embedding function to display and play videos from YouTube. We use the extended data protection mode, which, according to the provider, only starts storing user information when the video is played. The moment playback of the embedded video is started, YouTube uses cookies to collect information about user behavior.

According to information from YouTube, these are used, among other things, to record video statistics, improve user-friendliness and prevent abusive behavior.

Regardless of whether the embedded videos are played, a connection to the Google “DoubleClick” network is established each time this website is accessed, which may trigger further data processing operations without our influence.

Further information on data protection at YouTube can be found in the provider’s privacy policy at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/

Data protection

All published content is protected by copyright and other protective laws and may not be copied, distributed or modified for commercial purposes without express permission.

SSL encryption

Contact form

If you contact us with questions of any kind by e-mail or contact form, you give us your voluntary consent for the purpose of contacting you. A valid e-mail address is required for this purpose. This is used to assign the request and subsequently answer it. The provision of further data is optional. The information you provide will be stored for the purpose of processing the request and for possible follow-up questions. Personal data will be automatically deleted after your inquiry has been dealt with.

Changes to our privacy policy

We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy so that it always complies with current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the privacy policy, e.g. when introducing new services. The new privacy policy will then apply to your next visit.

Rights to: Information, correction and deletion

As a user, you can request information free of charge about which personal data has been stored about you. If your request does not conflict with a legal obligation to store data (e.g. data retention), you have the right to have incorrect data corrected and to have your personal data blocked or deleted.
