Liability for content

The contents of this website were created with the greatest possible care. However, no guarantee can be given for the accuracy, completeness and timeliness of the content. As a service provider, I am responsible for my own content on these pages in accordance with § 7 (1) DDG under the general laws. According to §§ 8 to 10 DDG, however, I am not obliged as a service provider to monitor transmitted or stored third-party information. Obligations to remove or block the use of information under general law remain unaffected.

Liability for links

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

Copyright

The content and works published on this website are subject to German copyright law. Reproduction, editing, distribution and any kind of use outside the limits of copyright require the written consent of the respective author or creator. Downloads and copies of this site are only permitted for private, non-commercial use. This website may not be displayed by third parties in frames or iframes without written permission.

No advertising / use of contact data

The use of the contact data published in the legal notice for commercial advertising is expressly not desired, unless I had previously given my written consent or a business relationship already exists. I hereby object to any commercial use and disclosure of my data — in particular the sending of advertising and information materials that were not expressly requested.

Special terms of use

Insofar as special conditions for individual uses of this website deviate from the provisions above, this will be expressly indicated at the relevant point. In such a case, the special conditions apply in the individual case concerned.

Privacy policy

1. Controller

The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is:
Dr. Armin C. D. Küchler

2. Hosting and server log files

This website is hosted by STRATO AG, Otto-Ostrowski-Straße 7, 10249 Berlin. When you access the website, the provider automatically collects information in so-called server log files that your browser transmits: browser type and version, operating system used, referrer URL, hostname of the accessing computer, time of the server request and IP address. This data is not merged with other data sources and is used exclusively for the technical provision and security of the website. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in a technically error-free presentation).

3. Contact form and email contact

If you send me inquiries via the contact form or by email, your details (name, email address, message) will be stored for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR (initiation or performance of a contract) or Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in answering the inquiry). I will not pass on this data without your consent and will delete it as soon as the inquiry has been conclusively processed and no statutory retention obligations apply.

For the technical delivery of the contact form I use the service Web3Forms (provider: web3forms.com). When you submit the form, the data you enter (name, email address, and where applicable subject and message) is transmitted to Web3Forms' servers and forwarded from there to me by email. The provider processes this data as a processor solely for the purpose of delivery; processing or storage on servers outside the EU cannot be ruled out. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in reliable, spam-protected delivery of contact requests). Further information can be found in the provider's privacy policy at web3forms.com/privacy.

4. External services and links

The fonts used on this website (Space Grotesk, Inter, IBM Plex Mono) are served locally from this site's own server. No connection to third-party servers (such as Google Fonts) is established and your IP address is not transmitted to third parties. However, the website links to external profiles (including LinkedIn, BlueSky, ResearchGate, Google Scholar, ORCID); the respective providers are responsible for data processing on those sites.

5. Your rights

You have the right to access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20) and a right to object (Art. 21). Insofar as processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw it at any time with effect for the future. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority.
