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 personally identify you. 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.

Note on the responsible body

The responsible body for data processing on this website is:

Tim Geier
Dieburger Str. 77,

64287 Darmstadt

Phone: 017645943188
Email: kontakt@kurslotse.de

The responsible body 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, etc.).

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke any consent you have already given at any time. To do so, simply send us an informal message by email. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

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

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

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

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of violations of the DSGVO, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of their habitual residence, their place of work or the place of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

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 or TLS encryption

This page uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from „http://“ to „https://“ and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Access, erasure and rectification

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipients and the purpose of data processing and, if applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. For this purpose and for further questions on the topic of personal data, you can contact us at any time at the address specified in the imprint.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. For this purpose, you can contact us at any time at the address specified in the imprint. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you need them for the exercise, defense or establishment of 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 pursuant to Art. 21(1) DSGVO, a balancing of your interests and our interests must be carried out. 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, these data – apart from their storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or of a member state.

Objection to advertising e-mails

The use of contact data published within the framework of the imprint obligation for the sending of not expressly requested advertising and information materials is hereby objected to. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal steps in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, for example through spam e-mails.

4. Data collection on this website

Cookies

Our websites 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 after the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or an automatic deletion is carried out by your web browser.

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. Numerous cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies serve to evaluate user behavior or to display advertising.

Cookies that are required for carrying out the electronic communication process (necessary cookies) or for providing certain functions that you have requested (functional cookies, e.g. for the shopping cart function) or for optimizing the website (e.g. cookies for measuring the web audience) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) DSGVO, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies has been requested, the storage of the cookies concerned is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) DSGVO); the consent can be revoked 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 closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.

A general objection to the use of cookies used for online marketing purposes can be declared for a large number of services, especially in the case of tracking, via the US-American page http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU page http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. Furthermore, the storage of cookies can be achieved by disabling them in the browser settings. Please note that if you do so, you may not be able to use all functions of this online offering.

Insofar as cookies from third-party companies or for analysis purposes are used, we will inform you separately about this within the framework of this privacy policy and, if applicable, request consent.

AI search and AI chat

On this website you can ask questions about continuing education to an AI-powered chat ("AI search"). Only the information you enter yourself in the input field and the previous messages of the same chat history are processed. No registration is required, and we do not assign the questions to any user account.

To answer your question, we send it to OpenRouter, Inc., San Francisco, USA. OpenRouter forwards it to the respective language model used, which formulates the answer. The transfer to the USA is based on the EU Commission's standard contractual clauses. To find suitable courses, your question is also compared with our table of contents at Supabase Inc.; this website's database runs in a data center within the EU (Paris region). The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR: We have a legitimate interest in offering visitors tailored course advice. The website is fully usable without the chat — you decide about the processing by submitting your question.

To prevent abuse, we limit the number of requests per connection. For this purpose, your IP address is temporarily counted in the working memory of our server; we do not create a permanent log of chat content. How long OpenRouter and the model providers store the requests is determined by their policies: openrouter.ai/privacy.

Please do not enter any personal data into the chat — neither names and contact details nor special categories of personal data such as health information. For personal advice, please use the contact form or the search request.

The answers are generated automatically and are marked as AI content (Art. 50 EU AI Act). They may contain errors; please check prices, dates and qualifications with the respective provider. This is not associated with automated decision-making within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR.

Use of your data for direct advertising

Registration for our email newsletter

If you register for our email newsletter, we will send you regular information about our offers. The only mandatory information for sending the newsletter is your email address. Providing any other data is voluntary and is used to address you personally. For sending the newsletter, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that we will only send you an email newsletter if you have expressly confirmed to us that you consent to the sending of the newsletter. We will then send you a confirmation email asking you to confirm by clicking on a corresponding link that you wish to receive newsletters in the future.

By activating the confirmation link, you give us your consent to use your personal data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. When registering for the newsletter, we store your IP address entered by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) as well as the date and time of registration in order to be able to trace any possible misuse of your email address at a later date. The data we collect when you register for the newsletter will be used exclusively for the purpose of contacting you via the newsletter. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time via the link provided in the newsletter or by sending a message to the responsible party mentioned above. After unsubscribing, your email address will be immediately deleted from our newsletter distribution list, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use data beyond this, which is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this declaration.

Contact Form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form including the contact data you provide there will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We will not share this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, if your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if it has been obtained.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your inquiry has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
