Preamble
The providers of Weltvogelpark Walsrode take protection of personal data seriously. Special consideration of privacy is an important issue when processing personal data. Personal data will be used according to the provisions of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG); the providers of this website shall be bound to discretion.

1. Personal Data
Personal data is information that can be used to establish your identity. This includes information such as your name, address, postal address and telephone number. Information not directly linked to the true identity (e.g. favourite websites or number of visitors on a particular website) is not considered to be personal data.
As a general rule, it shall be possible to consult our website without revealing your identity. In case of a registration, e.g. registering as a member (registered user), it is possible to save personal information in the individual user profile. Every user is free to decide whether or not to supply these data. As we try to collect as little personal data as possible for using this service, for registration purposes it shall be sufficient to state a name – which will be your username and which does not have to be the real name – and an email address the password is sent to. In connection with accessing our website, the server will record certain items of information (e.g. IP address, date, time and pages consulted). A personal identification will not be conducted. We reserve the right to evaluate anonymous data for statistical purposes.
We will use personal data for the purposes of technical website administration and client management only to the extent necessary for that purpose. Furthermore, personal data will only be saved if revealed on a voluntary basis.

2. Passing on personal data to third parties
Use of your personal information is restricted to this website. We do not pass this data on to third parties without your explicit agreement. In case that data is given to a service provider in connection with the order data processing it shall be bound to the BDSG, further legal regulations and to our privacy policy.
Collection and transmission of personal data to governmental institutions and authorities shall only take place in line with mandatory legal regulations.
