According to Section 7, paragraph 1 of the TMG (Telemediengesetz - German Telemedia Act), we as service providers are liable for our content on these pages by general laws. However, according to Sections 8 to 10 of the TMG, service providers are not obliged to monitor external information transmitted or stored or investigate circumstances pointing to illegal activity. Obligations to remove or block the use of information under general laws remain unaffected. However, a liability in this regard is only possible from the moment of knowledge of a specific infringement. Upon notification of such violations, we will remove the content immediately.
Our website contains links to external websites, over whose contents we have no control. Therefore, we cannot accept any liability for these external contents. The respective provider or operator of the websites is always responsible for the contents of the linked pages. The linked pages were checked for possible legal violations at the time of linking. Illegal contents were not identified at the time of linking. However, permanent monitoring of the contents of the linked pages is not reasonable without specific indications of a violation. Upon notification of violations, we will remove such links immediately.
The contents and works on these pages created by the site operator are subject to German copyright law. The duplication, processing, distribution, and any kind of utilization outside the limits of copyright require the written consent of the respective author or creator.

Web protocols of the central web server
Previr as part of the University of Cologne collects and automatically stores information your browser sends in the protocol files of the web server. This includes:
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to your computer. To do this, the IP address of your computer must remain stored for the duration of the session.
In addition, the data helps us to ensure the security of our information technology systems and to optimize our website. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.
Of the above data, the IP address is considered to be personal. Your IP address will be stored for a maximum of 7 days and then completely anonymized (deleted or alienated). After that time, the above data is no longer personal. It shall be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected.
The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Chapter 6 Art. 1 (f) of the GDPR, because Previr and the University of Cologne has a legitimate interest in identifying and eliminating malfunctions and in optimizing its website.
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, in accordance with the legal provisions, to request free information or confirmation from us regarding the personal data stored about him or her.
In addition, you have the right to the immediate correction or deletion of incorrect personal data concerning you, or to the restriction of the processing, or to object to the processing. (However, the collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility of objection in this respect.)
You can revoke your consent to the processing of personal data at any time. This does not affect the legality of the processing of your data on the basis of your consent until your revocation. Data subjects have the right to request information regarding their personal data in a structured, common and machine-readable format and to transmit it to other persons responsible.
We are happy to answer your questions regarding the processing of your personal data at any time. If you would like to know which personal data we store about you or your pseudonym, or if you have questions that this data protection statement could not answer, or if you would like more detailed information on a particular point, please contact us, preferably using our contact address: contact(at)previr.com. If you communicate by email, we cannot guarantee the complete confidentiality of the provided information. If your information is confidential, please send it to us by post.
