Neither the ELCA nor the agency can be made liable for damages that can occur in connection with the use of these contents.

For the European Landscape Contractors Association (ELCA) the protection of personal information is of highest importance. We want you to be informed of when we save certain information and when we use it. We have established technical and organisational measures to ensure that the laws on data protection are observed.
Therefore, we would like to inform you here about how we protect your privacy when you give us your personal information. Apart from observing the legal requirements on data protection as a matter of course, we would like to herewith commit ourselves to the responsible use of your personal information so that your privacy is always protected. Information given to us is immediately deleted upon request. It is important for us that you feel safe and comfortable when visiting our internet pages.

You can visit our open web pages without informing us who you are. When you access the internet pages of the European Landscape Contractors Association (ELCA) information of a general type is automatically registered. This information for example contains the type of web browser, the system software, the domain name of your internet provider etc. This information is used for statistical purposes. This only concerns information that does not contain any personal data. You remain anonymous as an individual.

Personal information is information about you. This includes information such as your name, address, postal address, telephone number. Information that cannot be directly linked to your real identity (for example how long you access the website or the number of users of the website) is not covered by this. Personal information is only required by the ELCA when you voluntarily communicate this, for example, when filling in a registration form or when registering for personal services. Your data entered in the form is only saved for that specific purpose. For example, we need your complete address to be able to process orders or registrations for the membership areas.

We use your personal information only for the offers as well as for the offers of our associated companies or partners. Furthermore, we do not pass your personal information on to third parties. Everybody in the European Landscape Contractors Association (ELCA) is subject to the BDSG (German Federal Data Protection Law) and the subsequent legal regulations. Should we, however, be legally or via court-injunction required to do so, then we will pass your personal information on to authorities entitled to receive this information.

Upon request we will inform you in writing as quickly as possible according to the valid laws of that time if and what personal data on you we have on record. Should incorrect information be on record in spite of our efforts to have valid and up-to-date data, we will then correct this based upon your request.

You can at any time cancel the use of your personal information as the affected person according to the German Federal Data Protection Law. If you contact our webmaster (contact form) we will immediately cancel the use of your personal information for this function. As well you are also, under certain circumstances, legally entitled to have the data we have registered corrected, cancelled or deleted.

We use "Cookies" on our websites. A Cookie is a tiny amount of data that is saved on your hard disk and does not cause any damage there. This data is generated by the web server with which you have established your internet connection via your web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator) and is then sent to you. With the Cookie you are recognised the next time you visit the website without having to enter the data that you had to enter before. Most browsers are currently set up so that they automatically accept Cookies. However, you have the possibility of setting your browser to reject Cookies or to give you the choice of prior acceptance or not. In addition you can delete Cookies at anytime in your system (e.g. in Windows Explorer). Please use the help functions in your system for this.
