Please note that data transmission online (such as via email) is subject to security loopholes. Data can never be fully protected against access by third parties, and no such guarantee is made.
The party responsible for data collection and processing on this website is:
Peter Dahm Robertson
Specialist translator M.A.
Deutzer Freiheit 116

The party responsible is the person or legal entity which, alone or in conjunction with others, decides how and for what purposes personal data (such as names, email addresses, etc.) are collected and processed.
Many data processing activities require your express consent. If you have already consented, you may withdraw this consent at any time by way of a simple message to the site operator by email. All data processing which has taken place prior to receipt of the notice of withdrawal remains legal and unaffected by the withdrawal.
In cases of violations of data protection laws, victims have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority in questions of data protection and privacy is the Landesdatenschutzbeauftragter (Federal State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information) of the German Federal State in which the relevant company is based. A list of the Landesdatenschutzbeauftragten and their contact data, in German, can be accessed via the following link:https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html.
You have the right to receive, in a common machine-readable format, any data processed here either with your consent or automatically in completion of a contract. Should you request the direct transfer of data to a different service or provider, this need only be complied with where technologically feasible.
For reasons of safety and to protect the transmission of confidential contents such as orders or quote requests sent to the website provider, this site uses SSL/TLS encryption. An encrypted connection can be recognized by the fact that your browser’s address bar shows “https://” (as well as a lock icon in some cases) rather than “http://”.
Active SSL/TLS encryption prevents third parties from accessing data you transmit to the site operator.
Within the framework of extant legal provisions, you have the right to receive, at any time and free of charge, information about the origin, recipient, and purpose of personal data collected about you, as well as, where applicable, the right to correction, blocking, or deletion of this personal data. To exercise these rights, and for answers to other questions on data security, you can contact the address listed in the Legal Notice.
I hereby expressly prohibit the use of Legal Notice contact data for sending advertising and information material unless specifically requested. The website provider expressly reserves the right to take legal action if targeted by spam emails or other unrequested advertising offers.

You can configure your browser to inform you whenever a cookie is placed and to allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, to block cookies in specific cases or in general, or to delete cookies automatically whenever the browser window is closed.

The website provider has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to provide services optimally and free of technical errors. Any other cookies (such as cookies for analyzing your browsing behavior) are treated separately in this Data Protection Notice.
The hosting provider automatically records and stores information sent by your browser to so-called server log files. This information includes:
