Liability for contents
As a service provider, we are responsible for our own content on these pages under the general laws according to § 7 paragraph 1 TMG. 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 point in time at which a concrete infringement of the law becomes known. If we become aware of any such infringements, we will remove the relevant content immediately. Concerning the data protection of genealogical data we proceed according to a statement of the data protection commissioner of NRW.
Liability for links
Our offer contains links to external websites of third parties, on whose contents we have no influence. Therefore, we cannot assume any liability for these external contents. The respective provider or operator of the pages is always responsible for the content of the linked pages. The linked pages were checked for possible legal violations at the time of linking. Illegal contents were not recognizable at the time of linking.
However, a permanent control of the contents of the linked pages is not reasonable without concrete evidence of a violation of the law. If we become aware of any infringements, we will remove such links immediately.

Collection of access data and log files by the hosting provider
The hosting services used by us serve to provide the following services: Infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage space and database services, e-mail dispatch, security services and technical maintenance services, which we use for the purpose of operating this online offer.
The hosting provider collects on the basis of legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO, the hosting provider collects data about each access to the server on which this service is located (so-called server log files). The access data includes the name of the website accessed, file, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, browser type and version, the user's operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address and the requesting provider.
Log file information is stored for a limited period of time for security reasons (e.g. to clarify acts of abuse or fraud) and then deleted. Data whose further storage is necessary for evidentiary purposes is exempt from deletion until final clarification of the respective incident.
Integration of third-party services and content
We point out that user data may be processed outside the area of the European Union. This may result in risks for users because, for example, it could make it more difficult to enforce users' rights. With regard to US providers certified under the Privacy Shield, we point out that they thereby undertake to comply with EU data protection standards.
