Privacy Policy

1. Privacy at a glance

General information

The following notes provide a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit this website. Personal data is any data that can be used to identify you personally. For detailed information on the subject of data protection, please refer to our privacy policy set out below this text.

Data collection on this website

Who is responsible for collecting data on this website?

Data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. You can find their contact details in the section “Information on the responsible party” in this privacy policy.

How do we collect your data?

Your data is collected partly because you provide it to us. This may, for example, be data you enter into a contact form.

Other data is collected automatically or with your consent when you visit the website, by means of our IT systems. This is mainly technical data (e.g. internet browser, operating system or time of the page view). This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter this website.

What do we use your data for?

Some of the data is collected in order to ensure the website is provided without errors. Other data may be used to analyse your user behaviour.

What rights do you have regarding your data?

You have the right at any time to obtain, free of charge, information about the origin, recipients and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have a right to request the correction or deletion of this data. If you have given consent to data processing, you can withdraw this consent at any time with future effect. You also have the right, in certain circumstances, to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. Furthermore, you have a right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.

You can contact us at any time regarding this and any other questions on the subject of data protection.

Analytics tools and third-party tools

When you visit this website, your browsing behaviour may be analysed statistically. This is done mainly using so-called analytics programs. Detailed information about these analytics programs can be found in the privacy policy below.

2. Hosting and Content Delivery Networks (CDN)

Wix

We host our website with Wix.com Ltd., 40 Namal Tel Aviv St., Tel Aviv 6350671, Israel (hereinafter: “Wix”).

Wix is a tool for building and hosting websites. When you visit our website, Wix analyses user behaviour, visitor sources, the region of website visitors and visitor numbers. Wix stores cookies in your browser that are necessary for displaying the website and ensuring its security (necessary cookies).

The data is stored on Wix’s servers in Israel. Israel is considered a third country that is secure under data protection law. This means that Israel has a level of data protection equivalent to that in the European Union.

For details, please see Wix’s privacy policy: https://www.wix.com/about/privacy.

Wix is used on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in presenting our website as reliably as possible. Where a corresponding consent has been requested, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; consent can be withdrawn at any time.

Conclusion of a data processing agreement

We have concluded a data processing agreement with Wix. This is a contract required under data protection law, ensuring that Wix processes the personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

3. General information and mandatory information

Data protection

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data that can be used to identify you personally. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.

We point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g. when communicating by email) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Information on the responsible party

The party responsible for data processing on this website is:

Olga KolesnevaSchillerstr. 6731812 Bad Pyrmont

Phone: 0176 43681382Email: kontakt@stage-x-tuning.de

The responsible party is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, email addresses or similar).

Storage period

Unless a more specific storage period is stated within this privacy policy, your personal data remains with us until the purpose for processing the data no longer applies. If you assert a justified request for deletion or withdraw consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, unless we have other legally permissible grounds for storing your personal data (e.g. tax or commercial retention periods); in the latter case, deletion takes place once those grounds no longer apply.

Information on data transfer to the USA and other third countries

Among other things, our website includes tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not secure under data protection law. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these third countries. We point out that a level of data protection comparable to the EU cannot be guaranteed in these countries. US companies are, for instance, obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you, as the data subject, being able to take legal action against this. It therefore cannot be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. intelligence services) process, evaluate and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out up to the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

If data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right at any time, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object to the processing of your personal data; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data concerned, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims (objection under Art. 21(1) GDPR).

If your personal data is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is connected with such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for the purpose of direct marketing (objection under Art. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of breaches of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of their habitual residence, place of work or the place of the alleged breach. This right to complain exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.

SSL / TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser’s address line changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the padlock symbol in your browser line. When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Information, deletion and correction

Within the framework of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of the data processing, and, where applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time regarding this and any other questions on the subject of personal data.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to check this. For the duration of the check, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If the processing of your personal data took place / takes place unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.

If we no longer need your personal data but you need it to assert, defend or exercise legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.

If you have lodged an objection under Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data may — apart from being stored — only be processed with your consent, or to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a member state.

Objection to advertising emails

The use of contact data published as part of the legal-notice obligation to send unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby objected to. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, for example through spam emails.

4. Data collection on this website

Cookies

Our web pages use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small text files and do not cause any damage to your device. They are stored on your device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or your web browser deletes them automatically.

In some cases, cookies from third-party companies may also be stored on your device when you enter our site (third-party cookies). These enable us or you to use certain services of the third-party company (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping basket function or the display of videos). Other cookies serve to evaluate user behaviour or display advertising.

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process (necessary cookies), or to provide certain functions you have requested (functional cookies, e.g. for the shopping basket function), or to optimise the website (e.g. cookies to measure the web audience), are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. Where consent to the storage of cookies has been requested, the relevant cookies are stored exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR); consent can be withdrawn at any time.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when the browser is closed. If cookies are disabled, the functionality of this website may be limited.

Insofar as cookies from third-party companies or for analytics purposes are used, we will inform you about this separately within this privacy policy and, where applicable, request your consent.

Server log files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

– browser type and browser version– operating system used– referrer URL– host name of the accessing computer– time of the server request– IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources. This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of its website — for this, the server log files must be collected.

Contact form

If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, provided your enquiry is connected with the performance of a contract or is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of the enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), where this has been requested.

The data you enter in the contact form remains with us until you ask us to delete it, withdraw your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your enquiry has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions — in particular retention periods — remain unaffected.

Enquiry by email, phone or fax

If you contact us by email, phone or fax, your enquiry, including all personal data resulting from it (name, enquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The data you send us via contact enquiries remains with us until you ask us to delete it, withdraw your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions — in particular statutory retention periods — remain unaffected.

Comment function on this website

For the comment function on this site, in addition to your comment, information on the time the comment was created, your email address and, if you do not post anonymously, the username you have chosen are stored.

Storage of the IP address

Our comment function stores the IP addresses of users who write comments. Since we do not check comments on this website before they are published, we need this data in order to be able to take action against the author in the event of legal violations such as insults or propaganda.

Subscribing to comments

As a user of the site, you can subscribe to comments after registering. You will receive a confirmation email to check that you are the owner of the email address provided. You can unsubscribe from this function at any time via a link in the information emails. The data entered when subscribing to comments will then be deleted; however, if you have provided this data to us for other purposes and elsewhere (e.g. to order a newsletter), this data remains with us.

Storage period of the comments

The comments and the associated data are stored and remain on this website until the commented content has been completely deleted or the comments have to be deleted for legal reasons (e.g. offensive comments).

Legal basis

The comments are stored on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw any consent you have given at any time. An informal notification by email to us is sufficient for this. The lawfulness of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

5. Social media

Social media plugins with Shariff

This website uses plugins from social media (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, XING, LinkedIn, Tumblr). You can usually recognise the plugins by the respective social media logos. To ensure data protection on this website, we only use these plugins together with the so-called “Shariff” solution. This application prevents the plugins integrated on this website from transferring data to the respective provider as soon as you first enter the page.

Only when you activate the respective plugin by clicking the associated button is a direct connection to the provider’s server established (consent). As soon as you activate the plugin, the respective provider receives the information that you have visited this website with your IP address. If you are also logged into your respective social media account (e.g. Facebook) at the same time, the respective provider can assign your visit to this website to your user account.

Activating the plugin constitutes consent within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can withdraw this consent at any time with future effect.

Facebook plugins (Like & Share button)

Plugins of the social network Facebook are integrated on this website. The provider of this service is Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland. According to Facebook, however, the collected data is also transferred to the USA and other third countries.

You can recognise the Facebook plugins by the Facebook logo or the “Like” button on this website. You can find an overview of the Facebook plugins here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=en_US.

When you visit this website, a direct connection between your browser and the Facebook server is established via the plugin. Facebook thereby receives the information that you have visited this website with your IP address. If you click the Facebook “Like” button while logged into your Facebook account, you can link the content of this website to your Facebook profile. This allows Facebook to assign your visit to this website to your user account. We point out that, as the provider of the pages, we receive no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by Facebook. Further information can be found in Facebook’s privacy policy at: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/explanation.

If you do not want Facebook to be able to assign your visit to this website to your Facebook user account, please log out of your Facebook user account.

The Facebook plugins are used on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in being as visible as possible on social media. Where corresponding consent has been requested, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; consent can be withdrawn at any time.

Insofar as personal data is collected on our website and forwarded to Facebook with the help of the tool described here, we and Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland are jointly responsible for this data processing (Art. 26 GDPR). The joint responsibility is limited exclusively to the collection of the data and its forwarding to Facebook. The processing by Facebook that takes place after the forwarding is not part of the joint responsibility. The obligations incumbent on us jointly have been set out in a joint processing agreement. The wording of the agreement can be found at: https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum. According to this agreement, we are responsible for providing the data protection information when using the Facebook tool and for the data-protection-compliant implementation of the tool on our website. Facebook is responsible for the data security of the Facebook products. You can assert data subject rights (e.g. requests for information) regarding the data processed at Facebook directly with Facebook. If you assert the data subject rights with us, we are obliged to forward them to Facebook.

The data transfer to the USA is based on the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses. Details can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/legal/EU_data_transfer_addendum, https://www.facebook.com/help/566994660333381 and https://www.facebook.com/policy.php.

Functions of the Twitter service are integrated on this website. These functions are offered by Twitter International Company, One Cumberland Place, Fenian Street, Dublin 2, D02 AX07, Ireland. By using Twitter and the “Re-Tweet” function, the websites you visit are linked to your Twitter account and made known to other users. In doing so, data is also transferred to Twitter. We point out that, as the provider of the pages, we receive no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by Twitter. Further information can be found in Twitter’s privacy policy at: https://twitter.com/en/privacy.

The Twitter plugin is used on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in being as visible as possible on social media.

This allows Instagram to assign your visit to this website to your user account. We point out that, as the provider of the pages, we receive no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by Instagram.

Insofar as personal data is collected on our website and forwarded to Facebook or Instagram with the help of the tool described here, we and Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland are jointly responsible for this data processing (Art. 26 GDPR). The joint responsibility is limited exclusively to the collection of the data and its forwarding to Facebook or Instagram. The processing by Facebook or Instagram that takes place after the forwarding is not part of the joint responsibility.

Tumblr plugin

This website uses buttons of the Tumblr service. The provider is Tumblr, Inc., 35 East 21st St, 10th Floor, New York, NY 10010, USA. These buttons allow you to share a post or page on Tumblr or to follow the provider on Tumblr. When you access one of our websites with a Tumblr button, the browser establishes a direct connection with Tumblr’s servers. We have no influence over the volume of data that Tumblr collects and transmits with the help of this plugin. According to current information, the user’s IP address and the URL of the respective website are transmitted.

The data is stored and analysed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in being as visible as possible on social media.

6. Analytics tools and advertising

Matomo (formerly Piwik)

This website uses the open-source web analytics service Matomo. Matomo uses technologies that enable cross-page recognition of the user to analyse user behaviour (e.g. cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Matomo about the use of this website is stored on our server. The IP address is anonymised before storage.

With Matomo, we are able to collect and analyse data about the use of our website by website visitors. Among other things, this allows us to find out when which page views were made and which region they come from. We also collect various log files (e.g. IP address, referrer, browsers and operating systems used) and can measure whether our website visitors perform certain actions (e.g. clicks, purchases and the like).

This analytics tool is used on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the anonymised analysis of user behaviour in order to optimise both its web offering and its advertising. Where corresponding consent has been requested (e.g. consent to the storage of cookies), processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; consent can be withdrawn at any time.

Hosting

We host Matomo exclusively on our own servers, so that all analytics data remains with us and is not passed on.

IONOS Web Analytics

This website uses the analytics services of IONOS Web Analytics (hereinafter: IONOS). The provider is 1&1 IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Straße 57, D–56410 Montabaur. As part of the analyses with IONOS, visitor numbers and behaviour (e.g. number of page views, duration of a website visit, bounce rates), visitor sources (i.e. which page the visitor comes from), visitor locations and technical data (browser and operating system versions) can be analysed, among other things. For this purpose, IONOS stores in particular the following data:

– referrer (previously visited website)– requested web page or file– browser type and browser version– operating system used– device type used– time of access– IP address in anonymised form (used only to determine the place of access)

According to IONOS, the data is collected completely anonymously, so that it cannot be traced back to individual persons. IONOS Web Analytics does not store cookies.

The data is stored and analysed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the statistical analysis of user behaviour in order to optimise both its web offering and its advertising. Where corresponding consent has been requested, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; consent can be withdrawn at any time. Further information on data collection and processing by IONOS Web Analytics can be found in IONOS’s privacy policy at: https://www.ionos.de/terms-gtc/index.php?id=6.

Data processing

We have concluded a data processing agreement with IONOS. This contract is intended to ensure the data-protection-compliant handling of your personal data by IONOS.

WordPress Statistics

This website uses “WordPress Statistics” to statistically evaluate visitor access. The provider is Automattic Inc., 60 29th Street #343, San Francisco, CA 94110-4929, USA.

WordPress Statistics uses technologies that enable the recognition of the user for the purpose of analysing user behaviour (e.g. cookies or device fingerprinting). For analysis, WordPress Statistics collects, among other things, log files (referrer, IP address, browser and others), the origin of website visitors (country, city) and what actions they have taken on the site (e.g. clicks, views, downloads). The information collected in this way about the use of this website is stored on servers in the USA. Your IP address is anonymised after processing and before storage.

7. Newsletter

Newsletter data

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we need an email address from you, as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected, or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively to send the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

The data entered in the newsletter registration form is processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw the consent you have given to the storage of the data, the email address and its use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The lawfulness of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

The data you have deposited with us for the purpose of obtaining the newsletter is stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter, and is deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter or after the purpose no longer applies. We reserve the right to delete or block email addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our own discretion within the framework of our legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist in order to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is used only for this purpose and is not merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with the legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

8. Plugins and tools

YouTube with enhanced data protection

This website embeds videos from YouTube. The operator of the pages is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

We use YouTube in enhanced data protection mode. According to YouTube, this mode means that YouTube does not store any information about visitors to this website before they watch the video. However, the enhanced data protection mode does not necessarily rule out the transfer of data to YouTube partners. For example, YouTube establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network regardless of whether you watch a video.

As soon as you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection to YouTube’s servers is established. The YouTube server is thereby informed which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to assign your browsing behaviour directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

Furthermore, after starting a video, YouTube can store various cookies on your device or use comparable recognition technologies (e.g. device fingerprinting). In this way, YouTube can obtain information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve user-friendliness and prevent fraud attempts.

Where applicable, further data processing operations may be triggered after starting a YouTube video, over which we have no influence.

YouTube is used in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offerings. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Where corresponding consent has been requested, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; consent can be withdrawn at any time. Further information on data protection at YouTube can be found in their privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

Vimeo

This website uses plugins of the Vimeo video portal. The provider is Vimeo Inc., 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA.

When you visit one of our pages equipped with a Vimeo video, a connection to Vimeo’s servers is established. The Vimeo server is thereby informed which of our pages you have visited. Vimeo also obtains your IP address. This also applies if you are not logged into Vimeo or do not have a Vimeo account. The information collected by Vimeo is transmitted to the Vimeo server in the USA.

If you are logged into your Vimeo account, you enable Vimeo to assign your browsing behaviour directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your Vimeo account. To recognise website visitors, Vimeo uses cookies or comparable recognition technologies (e.g. device fingerprinting).

Vimeo is used in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offerings. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Where corresponding consent has been requested, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; consent can be withdrawn at any time.

The data transfer to the USA is based on the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses and, according to Vimeo, on “legitimate business interests”. Details: https://vimeo.com/privacy. Further information on the handling of user data can be found in Vimeo’s privacy policy at: https://vimeo.com/privacy.

Google Web Fonts

To display fonts uniformly, this page uses so-called web fonts provided by Google. When you call up a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly.

For this purpose, the browser you use must connect to Google’s servers. Google thereby becomes aware that this website was accessed via your IP address. Google Web Fonts is used on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the uniform presentation of the typeface on its website. Where corresponding consent has been requested (e.g. consent to the storage of cookies), processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; consent can be withdrawn at any time. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font is used by your computer. Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

Font Awesome

This page uses Font Awesome to display fonts and symbols uniformly. The provider is Fonticons, Inc., 6 Porter Road Apartment 3R, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA.
