Legal notice
Liability for contents and links
We cannot assume any liability for the correctness, completeness and topicality of the contents. However, the contents of our pages have been created with the utmost care by the staff of the Valudis Association. As a service provider, we are responsible for our own content on these pages in accordance with § 7 paragraph 1 TMG under the general laws. According to §§ 8 to 10 TMG we are not obligated to monitor transmitted or stored information or to investigate circumstances that indicate illegal activity. Obligations to remove or block the use of information under the general laws remain unaffected. However, liability in this regard is only possible from the time of knowledge of a concrete infringement. If we become aware of any such infringements, we will remove the relevant content immediately.
Our website contains links to external third-party websites over whose content we have no influence. Therefore, we cannot assume any liability for the content of external websites. The respective provider or operator of the websites is always responsible for the content of the linked pages. The external websites linked on our website were checked for possible legal violations at the time of linking. Illegal contents were not recognizable at the time of linking. A permanent and repeated control of the contents of the linked websites is not reasonable without concrete evidence of a violation of the law. If we become aware of any legal violations of linked external websites, such links will be removed immediately.
Copyright
The designations and brand names of external companies mentioned on our website are subject to the respective brand, patent or trademark protection. All logos and images shown as well as all brand names mentioned are the property of the respective companies and/or persons.
The contents and works available on the website are subject to German copyright law. Duplication, processing, distribution, or any form of commercialization of such material beyond the scope of the copyright law shall require the prior written consent of its respective author or creator. Copies and downloads of this site – also in extracts – are only permitted for private, non-commercial use. Insofar as the content on this website was not created by the operator, the copyrights of third parties are respected. In particular, third-party content is identified as such. If, despite this, a copyright infringement should exist, we request that you inform us of this so that we can remove such content immediately.
All information on this website may contain inaccuracies or errors. Therefore, the information on this website may be changed or updated at any time without prior notice.

Privacy policy
The responsible party within the meaning of data protection laws, in particular the EU General Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO), is the person responsible for the website named above in the imprint.
Your data subject rights
You can exercise the following rights at any time using the contact details provided for our data protection officer:
- Information about your data stored by us and its processing,
- Correction of incorrect personal data,
- Deletion of your data stored by us,
- Restriction of data processing, if we are not yet allowed to delete your data due to legal obligations,
- objection to the processing of your data by us and
- Data portability, provided that you have consented to the data processing or have concluded a contract with us.
If you have given us consent, you can revoke this at any time with effect for the future.
You can contact the supervisory authority responsible for you at any time with a complaint. Your competent supervisory authority depends on the federal state of your residence, your work or the alleged violation. A list of supervisory authorities (for the non-public sector) with address can be found at: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html.
Purposes of data processing by the data controller and third parties
We process your personal data only for the purposes stated in this Privacy Policy. We do not transfer your personal data to third parties for purposes other than those stated. We will only share your personal data with third parties if:
- you have given your express consent to this,
- the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you,
- the processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation,
- the processing is necessary to protect legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in the non-disclosure of your data.
Deletion or blocking of data
We adhere to the principles of data avoidance and data economy. We therefore only store your personal data for as long as is necessary to achieve the purposes stated here or as stipulated by the various storage periods provided for by law. After the respective purpose has ceased to exist or these periods have expired, the corresponding data is routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.
Collection of general information when visiting our website
When you access our website, information of a general nature is automatically collected by means of a cookie. This information (server log files) includes, for example, the type of web browser, the operating system used, the domain name of your Internet service provider and the like. This is exclusively information that does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your person.
This information is technically necessary in order to correctly deliver the content of web pages requested by you and is mandatory when using the Internet. In particular, they are processed for the following purposes:
- Ensuring a smooth connection setup of the website,
- Ensuring the smooth use of our website,
- evaluating system security and stability, and
- for other administrative purposes.
The processing of your personal data is based on our legitimate interest from the aforementioned data collection purposes. We do not use your data to draw conclusions about your person. Recipients of the data are only the responsible body and, if applicable, order processors. Anonymous information of this kind is statistically evaluated by us, if necessary, in order to optimize our Internet presence and the technology behind it. The data automatically collected in this way is not merged with other data sources. However, if concrete indications of illegal use of the website become known, the collected data can be subsequently checked, for example, to determine the location of a website user.
Cookies
Like many other websites, we also use so-called „cookies“. Cookies are small text files that are transferred from a website server to your hard drive. Through this, we automatically receive certain data such as IP address, browser used, operating system and your connection to the Internet.
Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to a computer. Based on the information contained in cookies, we can facilitate your navigation and enable the correct display of our web pages.
Under no circumstances will the data we collect be passed on to third parties or linked to personal data without your consent.
Of course, you can also view our website without cookies. Internet browsers are regularly set to accept cookies. In general, you can deactivate the use of cookies at any time via your browser settings. Please use the help functions of your Internet browser to find out how to change these settings. Please note that individual functions of our website may not work if you have disabled the use of cookies.
SSL Encryption
In order to protect the security of your data during transmission, we may use state-of-the-art encryption (e.g. SSL) via HTTPS – provided that data transmission, for example via a contact form or registration form, is intended and possible at all.
Newsletter
On the basis of your expressly given consent, we may send you our newsletter or comparable information by e-mail to your specified e-mail address on a regular basis.
To receive the newsletter, it is sufficient to provide your e-mail address. When registering to receive our newsletter, the data you provide will be used exclusively for this purpose. Subscribers may also be informed by e-mail about circumstances relevant to the service or registration (for example, changes to the newsletter offer or technical circumstances).
For an effective registration we need a valid e-mail address. In order to verify that a registration is actually made by the owner of an e-mail address, we use the „double-opt-in“ procedure. For this purpose, we log the order of the newsletter, the sending of a confirmation e-mail and the receipt of the response requested herewith. No further data is collected. The data is used exclusively for sending the newsletter and is not passed on to third parties.
You can revoke your consent to the storage of your personal data and its use for the newsletter dispatch at any time. You will find a corresponding link in each newsletter. In addition, you can unsubscribe at any time directly on this website or inform us of your wish to do so using the contact option provided at the end of this privacy policy.
Email und contact form
If you contact us by e-mail or contact form regarding questions of any kind, you give us your voluntary consent for the purpose of contacting you. For this purpose, it is necessary to provide a valid e-mail address. This serves the assignment of the request and the subsequent response to the same. 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. After completion of your request, personal data will be deleted automatically.
Use of script libraries (Google Webfonts and Ajax Jquery)
In order to display our content correctly and graphically appealing across browsers, we use script libraries and font libraries such as Google Ajax and Google Webfonts (https://www.google.com/webfonts/).
on this website. Google Webfonts are transferred to your browser’s cache to avoid multiple loading. If the browser does not support Google Webfonts or prevents access, content is displayed in a standard font.
Calling up script libraries or font libraries automatically triggers a connection to the operator of the library. It is theoretically possible – although it is currently also unclear whether and, if so, for what purposes – that operators of corresponding libraries collect data.
The privacy policy of the library operator Google can be found here: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/
Use of Google Maps
This website uses Google Maps API to visually display geographical information. When using Google Maps, Google also collects, processes and uses data about visitors‘ use of the map functions. You can find more information about data processing by Google in the Google privacy policy entnehmen. There you can also change your personal privacy settings in the Privacy Center.
Detailed instructions on managing your own data in connection with Google products can be found here.
Embedded YouTube videos
We embed YouTube videos on some of our websites. The operator of the corresponding plugins is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit a page with the YouTube plugin, a connection to YouTube servers is established. This tells Youtube which pages you are visiting. If you are logged into your Youtube account, Youtube can assign your surfing behavior to you personally. You can prevent this by logging out of your Youtube account beforehand.
If a Youtube video is started, the provider uses cookies that collect information about user behavior.
If you have deactivated the saving of cookies for the Google Ad program, you will not have to deal with such cookies when watching Youtube videos. However, Youtube also stores non-personal usage information in other cookies. If you would like to prevent this, you must block the storage of cookies in the browser.
For more information on data protection at „Youtube“, please refer to the provider’s privacy policy at:
https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/
Embedded Vimeo videos
Auf einigen unserer Webseiten betten wir Vineo-Videos ein. Betreiber der entsprechenden Plugins ist Vimeo, LLC, 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA. Wenn Sie eine Seite mit dem Vimeo-Plugin besuchen, wird eine Verbindung zu Servern von Vimeo hergestellt. Dabei wird Vimeo mitgeteilt, welche Seiten Sie besuchen. Wenn Sie in Ihrem Vimeo-Account eingeloggt sind, kann Vimeo Ihr Surfverhalten Ihnen persönlich zuzuordnen. Dies verhindern Sie, indem Sie sich vorher aus Ihrem Vimeo-Account ausloggen. Wird ein Vimeo-Video gestartet, setzt der Anbieter Cookies ein, die Hinweise über das Nutzerverhalten sammeln.
Die Datenschutzerklärung für Vimeo mit näheren Informationen zur Erhebung und Nutzung Ihrer Daten durch Vimeo finden Sie unter https://vimeo.com/privacy.
Außerdem ruft Vimeo über einen Frame, in dem das Video aufgerufen wird, den Tracker Google Analytics, sowie den ScoreCard Research Beacon auf. Dabei handelt es sich um ein eigenes Tracking von Vimeo, auf das wir keinen Zugriff haben. Wir haben intern das Tracking nach bestem Wissen deaktiviert, können aber nicht garantieren, dass keine Daten seitens Vimeo ermittelt werden. Sie können das Tracking aber zusätzlich unterbinden, indem Sie die Deaktivierungs-Tools einsetzen, die einige Internet-Browser anbieten.
Social Plugins
We may offer you the option of using so-called „social media buttons“ on our website. To protect your data, we rely on the „Shariff“ solution for implementation. This means that these buttons are only integrated on the website as a graphic that contains a link to the corresponding website of the button provider. By clicking on the graphic, you are thus redirected to the services of the respective provider. Only then will your data be sent to the respective providers. Unless you click on the graphic, no exchange of any kind takes place between you and the providers of the social media buttons. Information about the collection and use of your data in the social networks can be found in the respective terms of use of the corresponding providers. You can find more information about the Shariff solution here: http://www.heise.de/ct/artikel/Shariff-Social-Media-Buttons-mit-Datenschutz-2467514.html
We integrate the following social networks with „Shariff“ on our website:
- Facebook Inc. (1601 S. California Ave – Palo Alto – CA 94304 – USA)
- Twitter Inc. (795 Folsom St. – Suite 600 – San Francisco – CA 94107 – USA)
- Google Plus/Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway – Mountain View – CA 94043 – USA)
- XING AG (Gänsemarkt 43 – 20354 Hamburg – Deutschland)

Guest contributions and partners
Some contributions are guest contributions. In addition, we are a member of the Amazon affiliate program. If a purchase is made through a link, we receive a commission, but this does not affect the purchase price.
Change of our privacy policy
We reserve the right to adapt this privacy policy so that it always complies with the current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the privacy policy, e.g. when introducing new services. The new data protection statement will then apply to your next visit.
Questions to the data protection officer
If you have any questions about data protection, please write us an e-mail or contact the responsible person named in the imprint directly.
