Data Protection
When accessing the general information of Thoraxklinik, user access information is stored in anonymised form in log files for statistical purposes. The stored information only comprises the fact that the access has taken place and the accessed document. The user is never identified. No individual user profiles are created, not even in pseudonymised form.
 
Third-Party Pages
The pages of Thoraxklinik Heidelberg contains numerous links (also in the form of banners) to third-party pages not affiliated with the hospital. These are designated as such. When these links are clicked, a new window is opened, and the user is redirected to the third-party provider's offer.

Any liability for direct or indirect references to third-party web pages ("links") that are outside the scope of responsibility of Thoraxklinik will be accepted only if Thoraxklinik had knowledge of the contents and was technically able and could reasonably be expected to prevent the use of illegal contents.
Therefore, Thoraxklinik expressly declares that the linked pages were free of illegal contents at the time the links were set. Thoraxklinik has no influence on the current and future design and contents of linked pages. Therefore, Thoraxklinik expressly disclaims any and all contents of linked pages that were changed after the links were set.
 
Disclaimer
1. Content of the Website
The Internet portal of Thoraxklinik Heidelberg provides its patients and other interested parties a variety of high-quality information. Heidelberg University Hospital does not guarantee the timeliness, correctness, completeness or quality of the information provided. Liability claims against Thoraxklinik due to damage of a material or immaterial nature that was caused by the use or non-use of the provided information or by the use of incorrect and incomplete information are categorically excluded, unless Thoraxklinik is provably guilty of intent or gross negligence. All offers are for information only and subject to confirmation. Thoraxklinik expressly reserves the right to modify, supplement or delete parts of the pages or the entire website or to temporarily or permanently suspend publication without prior notice.

2. References and Links
Any liability for direct or indirect references to third-party web pages ("links") that are outside the scope of responsibility of Thoraxklinik will be accepted only if Thoraxklinik had knowledge of the contents and was technically able and could reasonably be expected to prevent the use of illegal contents. Thoraxklinik hereby expressly declares that when the links were set, no illegal contents were evident on the linked pages. Thoraxklinik has no influence on the current and future design, contents or authorship of the linked pages. Therefore, Thoraxklinik expressly disclaims any and all contents of linked pages that were changed after the links were set. This statement applies to all links and references set within the own website as well as to third-party entries in guest books, discussion forums, link directories, mailing lists and other forms of databases that are set up by Thoraxklinik and to whose content external write access is possible. The liability for illegal, incorrect or incomplete contents and especially for damage resulting from the use or non-use of such offered information is borne exclusively by the provider of the linked page, not by a party that merely refers to the respective publication by means of links.

3. Copyright and Trademarks
In all its publications, Thoraxklinik endeavours to comply with the copyrights of images, graphics, audio recordings, video sequences and texts, use images, graphics, audio recordings, video sequences and texts created by itself, or make use of license-free graphics, audio recordings, video sequences and texts. All brands and trademarks mentioned within the website – some of which may be registered by third parties – are fully subject to the provisions of applicable trademark laws and intellectual property rights of the registered owners. The mere fact that trademarks are mentioned shall not be interpreted as though they were not protected by third-party rights. The author of the pages alone holds the copyright to published objects that were created by Thoraxklinik. Duplication or use of such graphics, audio recordings, video sequences and texts in other electronic or printed publications is not permitted without the express approval of Thoraxklinik.

4. Data Protection

The use and payment of all offered services is also permitted without specifying such data or by specifying anonymised data or a pseudonym, insofar as this is technically possible and acceptable. Use of contact details published in legal notices or similar sources, such as postal addresses, telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail addresses, by third parties for the purpose of sending information not expressly requested is not permitted. We expressly reserve the right to take legal steps against senders of spam mail in the event of violations of this prohibition.

5. Legal Validity of This Disclaimer
