You have the right to receive information on request and free of charge at any time about the personal data we have stored about you.
1.2 This Data Policy applies to the use of the websites www.dae-europe.org, hereinafter referred to as “website”.

We will treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations as well as this Data Policy.

1.5 We would like to point out that data transmission on the internet (e.g. as part of communication via email) may have security gaps. Full protection of the data against access by third parties is not possible.
- Security measures
2.1. We adopt organisational, contractual and technical security measures in accordance with the state of the art in order to ensure that the regulations of data protection laws are observed and to protect the data which is processed by us against accidental or deliberate manipulation, loss, destruction, or against access by unauthorised persons.

3. Distribution of data to third parties and third party providers
3.1 Distribution of data to third parties only takes place on the basis of legal regulations. We shall only pass on the data of the users to third parties, if the users have given their consent to the distribution (Art. 6 (1) a EU GDPR), if it is required for contractual purposes (Art. 6 (1) b EU GDPR), for compliance with legal obligations (Art. 6 (1) c EU GDPR), in order to protect the vital interests of the users (Art. 6 (1) d EU GDPR), or on the basis of legitimate interests in order to assure effective operations of our organisational activities (Art. 6 (1) c EU GDPR).

Third countries are to be understood as countries, in which the GDPR is not a directly applicable law, which generally means countries outside the EU or the European Economic Area. The transfer of data to third countries takes place if there is an appropriate level of data protection, consent of the users or another form of legal permission.

10. Integration of Script libraries like Google Webfonts and Adobe Typekit
10.1 In order to show our content correctly in all browsers and in a graphically appealing manner, we use script libraries and font libraries such as Google Webfonts (https://www.google.com/webfonts/) and Adobe Typekit (https://typekit.com/) on some of our websites. These script libraries are transferred into the cache of your browser to avoid multiple loading. If the browser does not support Google Webfonts and/or Adobe Typekit, or prevents access, content is shown in a standard font. The retrieval of script libraries or font libraries automatically produces a connection to the library operator.

When using Google Maps, data about the use of the map functions by visitors is also collected, processed and used by Google. You can find further information about the data processing by Google from the Google data protection notice. You can also change your personal data protection settings in the data protection centre.

Exemption of liability:
Despite careful control of the content we are not liable for the content of external links. The owners of the external sites are responsible for the content of the linked websites. Despite careful scrutiny, the editors do not guarantee the correctness, relevance or completeness of the information published on this website. The editors reserve the right to change the website in its entirety or in part without notice, or to stop publishing entirely.
All trademarks appearing on our website, and most likely protected by others, are subject to the conditions of the copyright and trademark rights of the registered owner. Simply by being named on our WebPages should not lead to the conclusion that these trademarks are not protected by third party rights.
Liability for links:
Our offer contains links to third-party websites, over the contents of which we have no influence. We therefore cannot accept any liability for these third-party contents, since the responsibility for such contents always rests with the relevant offeror or provider. The linked websites have been checked for possible infringements of the law at the time of linking and none have been identified at that time. However, it would be unreasonable to expect us to carry out checks of linked Websites on a permanent basis without a definite lead to a possible infringement. When being notified of any law infringement we shall immediately remove such links.

All contents and works published on these Websites are subject to the German copyright law. Their duplication, adaptation, circulation or any kind of utilization outside the limits of the copyright law require the written approval of the author or Website owner concerned. Downloads and copies of this Website are permitted for private use only, not for commercial purposes. Unless the content of this Website has not been created by the Website operator, third-party copyrights will be observed and third party contents will especially be marked as such.
