Liability for Content

As the service provider, I am responsible for my own content on these pages in accordance with the general laws pursuant to Section 7(1) DDG. However, pursuant to Sections 8 to 10 DDG, I am not obliged as a service provider to monitor transmitted or stored third-party information or to investigate circumstances that indicate unlawful activity. Obligations to remove or block the use of information under the general laws remain unaffected. Liability in this respect is only possible from the time of knowledge of a specific legal infringement. Upon becoming aware of such infringements, I will remove the content immediately.

Liability for Links

This website contains links to external third-party websites over whose content I have no influence. I therefore cannot assume any liability for such external content. The respective provider or operator of the linked pages is always responsible for their content. The linked pages were checked for possible legal violations at the time of linking; no unlawful content was apparent. Upon becoming aware of legal infringements, such links will be removed immediately.

Copyright

The content and works created by the site operator on these pages are subject to German copyright law. Any reproduction, editing, distribution or use of any kind beyond the limits of copyright law requires the written consent of the respective author or creator. Downloads and copies of this site are permitted for private, non-commercial use only. Where content on this site was not created by the operator, third-party copyrights are respected and identified as such. If a copyright infringement becomes known, notification is requested; the relevant content will be removed immediately.

2. General Information

The protection of your personal data is important to me. This website is deliberately designed to minimize data collection: no cookies are set, no analytics or tracking tools are used, and no third-party content such as videos, maps or social media feeds is embedded. Personal data is processed only to the extent described below.

3. Server Log Files (Hosting)

This website is hosted by [hosting provider]. When you access the pages, the provider automatically collects data transmitted by your browser for technical reasons, known as server log files:

• name of the page/file accessed
• date and time of access
• amount of data transferred
• notification of successful access
• browser type and version
• operating system used
• referrer URL (previously visited page)
• IP address and requesting provider

These data are used exclusively for the technical delivery and security of the website, for example to investigate cases of misuse. The legal basis is the legitimate interest in secure operation pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The log files are deleted after [e.g. 3] days unless they need to be retained for a longer period to preserve evidence in a specific incident.

If you use the contact form, I process the data you provide:

• the selected inquiry category (Press & Media, Appearances & Events, Texts/Rights & Publishing, Personal Message, Other)

These data are used exclusively to process your inquiry. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual or contractual measures) and/or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in responding to inquiries).

For processing purposes, your inquiry is forwarded to the office run by Nina Tesenfitz, which handles Carolin Emcke’s correspondence. Your data will be deleted once the inquiry has been fully processed and no statutory retention obligations apply.

6. External Links

To exercise these rights, an informal notification to the controller named above is sufficient.
