The following data protection statement is designed to inform you what data will be collected during your visit to the website and how this will be used. The following data protection clauses apply to all the pages of our website.

Data collection
A record is kept of your visit to our website.

Confidentiality of the collected data
By utilising all the technical and organisational options available, we take care to store your personal data in such a way that its confidentiality is assured.

4. Copyright
The content and works created by the Foundation for Future Studies on these pages are subject to the German Law on Copyright. Duplication, editing, distribution or any type of exploitation outside the limitations of the Law on Copyright requires the written permission of the author or editor concerned. Downloads and copies of these pages are only permitted for private, non-commercial use. Any misuse of this website is prohibited. Where content on this website was not created by the operator, the copyright of third parties has been respected. In particular, content created by third parties has been labelled as such. If, despite this, you become aware of a breach of copyright, we would be grateful if you would inform us. If we are made aware of any infringement of rights, we will immediately remove content of this kind.
5. Exclusion of Liability
Our website has been created with great care. Nevertheless, no liability of any sort is accepted for the up-to-dateness, correctness, completeness or quality of the content. Unless the Foundation for Future Studies can be accused of premeditated or grossly negligent action, liability claims against the Foundation for Future Studies are therefore basically excluded if they relate to material or intellectual damage caused by the use or non-use of the information given and/or by the use of erroneous and incomplete information. In addition, no responsibility is taken for the completeness and correctness of information accessed via forward links. In the case of direct or indirect pointers (“links”) to external websites that lie outside our sphere of responsibility, liability would only come into effect in the event that we were aware of the content and it would be technically possible and reasonable for us to prevent usage in the event of unlawful content. We hereby expressly declare that at the time of setting up the links no unlawful content was recognisable on the linked pages. However, the Foundation for Future Studies has no influence of any sort on the current and future design, content or authorship of the linked pages. We therefore hereby expressly distance ourselves from the content of all linked pages that have been amended since the link was set up. This statement applies to all links and cross references set up on our website. Illegal, erroneous or incomplete content and in particular damage resulting from the use or non-use of this content is the sole liability of the provider of the web page to which the reference was made and not of the person who only makes reference via a link to the publication concerned. If we become aware of any breach of the law, we will of course immediately remove the appropriate link or content from our website.
