With this privacy policy, we would like to inform you about which personal data we collect from you and how we process it when you visit and use the platform. These Privacy Policy have been translated by AI for accessibility purposes. In case of contradictions, legal disputes, etc., only the German version prevails.
By agreeing to this privacy policy, which is required for registration on the platform, you consent to the collection, processing, and use of your personal data as described below, which occurs in the context of establishing, performing, and managing your usage relationship concerning the platform.

Therefore, we ask you to take the time to read this privacy policy carefully.
