Wieland undertakes to respect the privacy of web site users when processing personal data. According to the German Teleservices Data Protection Act "Teledienstedatenschutzgesetz" (TDDSG) and the German Data Protection Act "Bundesdatenschutzgesetz" (BDSG), we always strive to protect against misuse any data you provide to us knowingly or unknowingly.
In case possible identification data (e.g. your IP address) have to be stored on our web servers for technical reasons, Wieland ensures that these data are used for statistical purposes only and only in aggregated and anonymous form.
To the extent to which you provide us data other than name and address, e.g. when you request information material, these data will only be used for the specific purpose for which you communicated them to us.
Any data you provide in response to a survey would be used solely for statistical purposes and to create a general user profile. Your details are not kept and cannot be accessed by third parties. The surveys are important in order to enable us to improve the web site and the products on offer.
Of course, these data will not be passed on to third parties.
Links
To the extent to which we provide links to third party web sites, this is done by opening another browser window on your computer. Your IP address as well as the requested URL address (i.e. the address of the requested web site) will be provided to you. The further use of these data on third party web sites is unknown to us. However, we only establish links to providers we consider trustworthy.
Of course, the warranties of our privacy statement shall not apply to third party web sites.
Our cookies are very small files stored on your computer for the duration of the browser session. They only serve the purpose of distinguishing your computer from those of other users accessing our web sites at the same time.
These cookies do not represent a danger to your computer. Certain companies use this mechanism to collect data for market research and promotion purposes. This is not done by us.
We use cookies for technical reasons only and only for the duration of the session. They are not stored on your hard drive beyond the session.
You can set your browser to reject any cookies. Nevertheless, you can view our web sites.
SSL allows encrypted communication and/or document transmission between web browsers and web servers via the Internet. In certain special cases we use this encryption technology for the secured transfer of your data. In that case the URL (i.e. the address) of a web site with an SSL connection on your browser starts with https://.
As active components we use JAVA Applets and Flash (for vector-based graphics). If, for example, you have increased the security level of your browser, our web sites will function also without these components with a reduced extent of presentation.
If you send us an e-mail from your web site, your e-mail address will only be used for corresponding with you.
In case a provision of the aforementioned conditions of the privacy statement is invalid the validity of the remaining provisions shall not be affected thereby. The invalid provision shall be deemed superseded by a provision which most closely approximates the intent and economic effect of the invalid provision.

The user is entitled to use the contents only for his personal use and in the context of the functionality of the web sites and does not acquire any rights to the contents or programmes.
