When we do so we are regulated under the General Data Protection Regulation which applies across the European Union (including in the United Kingdom) and we are responsible as ‘controller’ of that personal information for the purposes of those laws.

2. Data processing purposes, legal bases and legitimate interests

We process personal data for specified purposes. The extent and manner in which your data is processed depends in particular on the Services of our website to which you make use of them. We respect the privacy of our Users and the privacy of their client data. You retain all rights to your data. We will not sell, share data. We will not access your data for non-administrative reasons.

Visit of our website: You can visit our website purely for information purposes without further communication of personal data. When you visit our website, only the technical access data transmitted by your browser is automatically stored, i.e. the name of your Internet service provider, the page from which you are visiting us, the date and time of your visit and the identification data of the browser/operating system used.

The web server necessarily also stores your IP address, which may, under certain circumstances, allow an assignment to your person. In addition, we use cookies in order to be able to provide you with our website in an optimized and demand-oriented form, even for purely informational use (for the relevant details and your corresponding design options, see below in the section ”Cookies”).

The storage of the aforementioned access data is carried out in so-called server log files on our web server and is necessary for technical reasons to provide a functional website and to ensure system security. In addition to the above-mentioned purposes, we use access data exclusively for the demand-oriented design and optimization of our Internet offer purely statistically and without inference to your person.

If you visit our website in order to obtain information about our range of products and other Services or to use them, the temporary storage of access data and log files is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b DSGVO (legal basis), in particular for the purpose of implementing pre-contractual measures. Furthermore, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO serves as the legal basis for the temporary storage of access data and log files.

Our legitimate interest here is to provide you with a technically functioning and user-friendly website and to ensure the security of our systems. The access data collected during the use of our website is only stored for the period of time for which this data is required to achieve the above-mentioned purposes. Your IP address is stored on our web server for a maximum of 7 days.

Google Analytics: Our website uses Google Analytics, an analysis service from Google, Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA („Google“). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies“, files that are stored on your computer and which are employed to provide an analysis of your use of our sites. The information collected by the cookie regarding your use of the site is generally transferred to Google servers in the US and stored there. In the event IP anonymization is activated for this website, Google will crop your IP address if it originates from within a member state of the European Union or any parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Union. Only in exceptional cases will a complete IP address be forwarded to Google servers in the US and then cropped. IP anonymization has been activated on our websites. Google makes use of the information it collects on behalf of the site provider in order to furnish analysis of your use of our site, to compile reports on website activity and to provide us with other services relating to the use of our site and internet use in general. According to Google, Google Analytics will not merge the IP address provided by your browser with other data held by Google. You can prevent cookies from being stored on your browser by setting your browser software so that it will not accept cookies; please note, however, that by doing so, you may not be able to make full use of all the functions available at our website. In addition, you can prevent cookies from gathering data for Google about your use of our sites (incl. your IP address) as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de. As an alternative to using a browser add-on or when using a browser on a mobile device, you can click on this link instead in order to prevent Google Analytics from collecting data on your use of our websites (This opt-out will only work in this particular browser and only for this particular domain). An opt-out cookie is then saved to your device. If you delete this cookie from the browser, you will need to click on the link again in order to continue preventing Google Analytics from operating on our websites. Our websites make use of the Google “+1“ button, a web plugin from Google, Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google“). This button is labelled with “+1“. Whenever you access one of our websites that contains the Google “+1“ button, your browser establishes a direct connection to the servers at Google. Google then transmits content via the plugin directly to your browser and from there they are incorporated into the website itself without any action on our part. By incorporating the plugin, Google is informed that you accessed the site. This occurs simply by loading the button, even if you do not click on it. If you are registered with Google, Google can associate your visit to our website with your own Google account. If you click on the “+1“ button or if you leave a comment, this information is transmitted from your browser via the plugin directly to Google and saved there. The purpose and scope of the data collected and the rules governing how this data is processed and used by Google as well as your rights in this regard and the browser settings you can use to protect your privacy are therefore not included here. Instead, you should consult the data protection policies at Google. If you prefer that Google not use the “+1“ button to collect data on your use of our sites, you will need to log out of Google each time before visiting one of our sites.

Cookies: On our website we use cookies. Cookies are text files that enable us to make your visit to our website comfortable. These include, for example, presets for the presentation of our website as well as for the viewing of videos and use of chat function. These cookies are temporarily stored on your computer and only sent to our servers when you visit our website. We use “session cookies” that are not stored on your hard drive and are deleted when the browser is closed or after a long period of inactivity. They do not damage your computer and contain no viruses. Through our temporary cookies we temporarily store your session ID (session number), which is automatically generated by the server at the beginning of your visit to our website, for the aforementioned purposes. You can view and delete cookies stored on your computer and check handling of cookies in general via your internet browser’s settings. For more information, please contact your browser or use your internet browser’s help function. Please note that the functionality of our website may be restricted or unavailable, if you do not allow cookies.

You may terminate this agreement at any time by sending us an email, or by simply discontinuing using the service. We have the right to enable and disable your access to or use of the website for the purpose of operating the website, to (i) ensure your compliance with these Terms, or to (ii) comply with applicable law or the order or requirement of a court, administrative agency or other governmental body. If you violate our Terms or otherwise create risk or possible legal exposure for A-tree, we can stop providing all or part of the website to you.

4. Disclaimers

The website is provided “as is”, without warranty of any kind, either express or implied. If you choose to use the website, you do so voluntarily and at your sole risk. Without limiting the foregoing, we disclaim all warranties of any kind, express or implied, including, without limitation, the warranties of merchantability, quiet enjoyment, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We make no warranty that the website will meet your requirements or be available on a secure, error-free basis or that access thereto will be continuous or uninterrupted. No information or advice, whether written or oral, obtained through the website, or from A-tree will create any warranty not expressly made herein. The foregoing disclaimers apply to the maximum extent permitted by law.

5. Liability

You acknowledge and agree that, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the entire risk arising out of your access to and use of the website, or any other communication or interaction with other Users, remains with you. In no event will A-tree, or any other party involved in creating, producing or delivering the website, be liable with respect to any subject matter of this Agreement under any contract, negligence, strict liability, or other legal or equitable theory for: (i) any incidental, special, exemplary or consequential damages, including lost profits, loss of data or loss of goodwill, service interruption, computer damage or system failure or (ii) the cost of substitute products or services, or for any damages arising out of or in connection with these Terms or from the use of or inability to use the website, from any communications, interactions or meetings with other Users or other persons with whom you communicate, interact or meet with as a result of your use of the website, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), product liability or any other legal theory, and whether or not A-tree has been informed of the possibility of such damage, even if a limited remedy set forth herein is found to have failed of its essential purpose. The aforementioned limitations of damages are fundamental elements of the basis of the Agreement between A-tree and you. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you. In the event of a breach of material obligations, the fulfillment of which is essential for the proper implementation of the Agreement and on the observance of which the party to the agreement may regularly rely (cardinal obligations) due to slight negligence on our part, on the part of our legal representatives or vicarious agents, liability shall be limited to the amount of damage foreseeable at the time of conclusion of the agreement, the occurrence of which must be typically expected. Otherwise, claims for damages are excluded.

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between A-tree and you concerning the subject matter hereof, and they may only be modified by a written amendment signed by an authorized executive of A-tree, or by the posting by A-tree of a revised version. These Terms supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between A-tree and you regarding the website. You may not assign, transfer or delegate this Agreement and your rights and obligations hereunder without A-tree's prior written consent. A-tree may assign or transfer these Terms in its sole discretion without restriction.

Limitation of liability for internal content

The content of our website has been compiled with meticulous care and to the best of our knowledge. However, we cannot assume any liability for the up-to-dateness, completeness or accuracy of any of the pages. Pursuant to section 7, para. 1 of the TMG (Telemediengesetz – Tele Media Act by German law), we as service providers are liable for our own content on these pages in accordance with general laws. However, pursuant to sections 8 to 10 of the TMG, we as service providers are not under obligation to monitor external information provided or stored on our website. Once we have become aware of a specific infringement of the law, we will immediately remove the content in question. Any liability concerning this matter can only be assumed from the point in time at which the infringement becomes known to us.

Limitation of liability for external links

Our website contains links to the websites of third parties („external links“). As the content of these websites is not under our control, we cannot assume any liability for such external content. In all cases, the provider of information of the linked websites is liable for the content and accuracy of the information provided. At the point in time when the links were placed, no infringements of the law were recognizable to us. As soon as an infringement of the law becomes known to us, we will immediately remove the link in question.

Copyright

The content and works published on this website are governed by the copyright laws of Germany. Any duplication, processing, distribution or any form of utilization beyond the scope of copyright law shall require the prior written consent of the author or authors in question.

Data protection

A visit to our website can result in the storage on our server of information about the access (date, time, page accessed). This does not represent any analysis of personal data (e.g., name, address or e-mail address). If personal data are collected, this only occurs – to the extent possible – with the prior consent of the user of the website. Any forwarding of the data to third parties without the express consent of the user shall not take place. We would like to expressly point out that the transmission of data via the Internet (e.g., by e-mail) can offer security vulnerabilities. It is therefore impossible to safeguard the data completely against access by third parties. We cannot assume any liability for damages arising as a result of such security vulnerabilities. The use by third parties of all published contact details for the purpose of advertising is expressly excluded. We reserve the right to take legal steps in the case of the unsolicited sending of advertising information; e.g., by means of spam mail.

Change

Insofar as advice or recommendations are given on the website of A-tree, we shall – without prejudice to any responsibility arising under the laws of contract, tort, or legal provisions of another nature – not be obligated to compensate for any harm or loss suffered by following the advice or recommendation. A-tree may – at any time, without notice, and at its discretion – change the content of its website or discontinue them entirely.

Morals

A-tree expressly dissociates itself from any content potentially giving rise to liability, criminal or otherwise, or that is contrary to good morals.

20. Limitations of Liability

You acknowledge and agree that, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the entire risk arising out of your access to and use of this Application remains with you. IN NO EVENT WILL WE OR OUR DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFIT, LOST REVENUE, LOSS OF DATA, OR OTHER DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE APPLICATION, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. The aforementioned limitations of damages are fundamental elements of the basis of the agreement between us and you. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you. For claims based on damages caused by us, our legal representatives or vicarious agents, we are always liable without limitation:

1. in case of injury to life, body or health; or
2. for intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty.

In the event of a breach of material obligations, the fulfillment of which is essential for the proper implementation of the agreement and on the observance of which the party to the agreement may regularly rely (cardinal obligations) due to slight negligence on our part, on the part of our legal representatives or vicarious agents, liability shall be limited to the amount of damage foreseeable at the time of conclusion of the agreement, the occurrence of which must be typically expected. Otherwise, claims for damages are excluded.

21. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless, including our subsidiaries, affiliates, and all of our respective officers, agents, partners, and employees, from and against any loss, damage, liability, claim, or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, made by any third party due to or arising out of: (1) your Contributions; (2) use of the Site; (3) breach of these Terms of Use; (4) any breach of your representations and warranties set forth in these Terms of Use; (5) your violation of the rights of a third party, including but not limited to intellectual property rights; or (6) any overt harmful act toward any other user of the Site with whom you connected via the Site. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we reserve the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify us, and you agree to cooperate, at your expense, with our defense of such claims. We will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any such claim, action, or proceeding which is subject to this indemnification upon becoming aware of it.

1. Policy Summary

For simplicity, all such technologies are defined as "Trackers" within this document – unless there is a reason to differentiate.

For example, while Cookies can be used on both web and mobile browsers, it would be inaccurate to talk about Cookies in the context of mobile apps as they are a browser-based Tracker. For this reason, within this document, the term Cookies is only used where it is specifically meant to indicate that particular type of Tracker.

Some of the purposes for which Trackers are used may also require the User's consent. Whenever consent is given, it can be freely withdrawn at any time following the instructions provided in this document.

This Application only uses Trackers managed directly by the Owner (so-called “first-party” Trackers).

The validity and expiration periods of first-party Cookies and other similar Trackers may vary depending on the lifetime set by the Owner. Some of them expire upon termination of the User’s browsing session.

2. Activities

Activities strictly necessary for the operation of this Application and delivery of the Service: This Application uses so-called “technical” Cookies and other similar Trackers to carry out activities that are strictly necessary for the operation or delivery of the Service.

Other activities involving the use of Trackers

Measurement: This Application uses Trackers to measure traffic and analyse User behaviour with the goal of improving the Service.

Analytics: The services contained in this section enable the Owner to monitor and analyse web traffic and can be used to keep track of User behaviour.

Google Analytics: Google Analytics is a web analysis service provided by Google LLC or by Google Ireland Limited, depending on the location this Application is accessed from, (“Google”). Google utilises the Data collected to track and examine the use of this Application, to prepare reports on its activities and share them with other Google services.

Google may use the Data collected to contextualise and personalise the ads of its own advertising network.

Personal Data processed: Tracker and Usage Data.

Place of processing: United States – Privacy Policy ↗ – Opt Out ↗; Ireland – Privacy Policy ↗ – Opt Out ↗.

3. Preferences

How to manage preferences and provide or withdraw consent

There are various ways to manage Tracker related preferences and to provide and withdraw consent, where relevant:

Users can manage preferences related to Trackers from directly within their own device settings, for example, by preventing the use or storage of Trackers.

Additionally, whenever the use of Trackers is based on consent, Users can provide or withdraw such consent by setting their preferences within the cookie notice or by updating such preferences accordingly via the relevant consent-preferences widget, if available.

It is also possible, via relevant browser or device features, to delete previously stored Trackers, including those used to remember the User’s initial consent.

Other Trackers in the browser’s local memory may be cleared by deleting the browsing history.

With regard to any third-party Trackers, Users can manage their preferences and withdraw their consent via the related opt-out link (where provided), by using the means indicated in the third party's privacy policy, or by contacting the third party.

Locating Tracker Settings: Users can, for example, find information about how to manage Cookies in the most commonly used browsers at the following addresses:

1. Google Chrome ↗
2. Mozilla Firefox ↗
3. Apple Safari ↗
4. Microsoft Internet Explorer ↗
5. Microsoft Edge ↗
6. Brave ↗
7. Opera ↗

Users may also manage certain categories of Trackers used on mobile apps by opting out through relevant device settings, such as the device advertising settings for mobile devices, or tracking settings in general (Users may open the device settings, view and look for the relevant setting).

4. Owner and Data Controller

Since the use of third-party Trackers through this Application cannot be fully controlled by the Owner, any specific references to third-party Trackers are to be considered indicative. In order to obtain complete information, Users are kindly requested to consult the privacy policies of the respective third-party services listed in this document.

Given the objective complexity surrounding tracking technologies, Users are encouraged to contact the Owner should they wish to receive any further information on the use of such technologies by this Application.
