The mission of Springs includes reaching an international audience, attracting users to our features, and making those features technologically accessible and easy to use. To measure our success in these areas, we will be using analytics tools to collect non-personal data such as numbers of hits, page clicks, rough regional locations of users, browser technologies, and Internet connection speeds. Google Analytics works via “cookies,” text files placed on your computer, which generate information about website use and transmit it to Google, where it is stored on servers in the United States. Google may use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of Springs, compiling reports on website activity for website operators, and providing other services relating to website activity and Internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. Find out more about how Google uses user data.

To further protect your privacy, Springs will use the AnonymizeIP function, which removes the last eight digits from the IP address prior to storing user information, thus anonymizing it and making it impossible to connect collected data with individual users. If you object to the collection of such anonymous data, you may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser; however, please note that if you do so you may not be able to use the full functionality of Springs. By using Springs, you consent to the anonymous collection of data as described above.

Statement of Release

The information herein is correct to the best of our knowledge; however, error cannot be avoided with absolute certainty. Solely the specifications in the pertinent legal bases (laws, orders, statutes) are legally binding. We cannot assume any liability for the particular currency, accuracy, completeness, and availability of the provided information. We are not liable for damages caused by the use of this internet offer. This exclusion of liability shall not apply if the regulations of § 839 BGB (liability for violation of official duty) are involved. We are not liable for any damages caused by call-up or downloading of data by damaged software or by the installation or use of software. This exclusion of liability does not apply to information that falls within the scope of the Order (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council dated 27 April 2016 (General Data Protection Regulation). The accuracy and currency of this information is guaranteed.

Disclaimer

The information offered by the Rachel Carson Center contains cross-references (“links”) to other internet offers by the Rachel Carson Center or by external, third-parties. Basically the internet pages will open automatically in a new window. Through this cross-reference, the Rachel Carson Center handles access for use of this content (§ 8 Telemedia Law). We are not responsible for this “foreign” content since we do not initiate the transmission of the information, have not selected the addressee of the transmitted information, and also have not selected or changed the transmitted information. An automatic, short-term interim saving of this “foreign information” by the Rachel Carson Center does not occur due to the selected call-up and linking method, so that the Rachel Carson Center does not thereby assume any responsibility for this foreign content. However, upon initial linking with these internet offers, the Rachel Carson Center has checked the foreign content to determine whether it may trigger a potential responsibility under civil or penal law. But we do not receive any automatic information about changes to the foreign internet offers and thus cannot constantly monitor their content for any changes. Therefore, we also cannot assume any responsibility for them. Solely the particular merchant of the foreign internet offer is liable for illegal, erroneous or incomplete content, and in particular for damages which arise from the use or non-use of information by third parties. However, we endeavor to check the included links regularly with regard to these named criteria.
