Exclusion of Liability:
1. Liability for Content
The contents of our web pages were created with the greatest possible care, based on extensive research and fact-checking. However, it is possible that minor errors may occur in the preparation of these extensive texts. However, we do not guarantee that the content of our articles is always up to date or complete. We also do not guarantee that our fact-based articles and short stories reflect the opinions of others, whether personal or institutional. According to § 7 Abs. 1 TMG, we are responsible for our content as long as it is not linked content from other websites (YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, etc.).
Pursuant to Sections 8, 9, and 10 of the Telemedia Act (TMG), we are not obligated to monitor any information transmitted by or to a person, nor are we required to record circumstances that may lead to unlawful acts or activities. This does not affect the obligation of the person responsible for this website to block or remove information in accordance with the general laws of the operator's country.
2. Liability for External Links
Our websites contain links to the work of others, over which we have no control. Therefore, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of that content. The provider/operator of the corresponding website is responsible for its content. To the best of our knowledge and conscience, we check linked internet pages for possible legal offenses based on our understanding of the law.
Without specific information, we cannot be expected to monitor or verify linked internet pages on an ongoing basis. However, as soon as we become aware of an infringement or violation, we will immediately remove the relevant content or link.
Copyrights and terms of use
Unless otherwise stated, the contents of our website are almost all protected by copyright. This includes, in particular, our text content, except for quoted sentences from other sources, and it remains the property of the author responsible for the Sun24 Press website and/or the author(s) of a respective web article. This also includes, with exceptions, the freely downloadable PDF documents that we have created. Some of these documents are government-owned but declassified for public access.
You are generally allowed to link to and read any of our web pages, articles, PDF documents, or e-books. No permission is required for this.
Password-protected articles can be linked to without permission, but they are not to be distributed or copied in any way, nor partially copied, except if explicitly authorized by the author. They should be read by no one other than the person granted access. However, auto-generated preview images and their links containing short text snippets of password-protected articles can be freely distributed on social media. No permission is required for this.
Up to 23% of the text of any of our articles, websites, PDF documents, and/or eBooks (other than those that are password-protected) can be copied and distributed without permission, provided that a reference to the author's respective web article is made. The same applies to our carefully crafted audio files included on various article or podcast pages.
Crawling software from AI models and their respective servers, such as Grok, Gemini, Claude, DeepSeek, Llama, Mistral, and ChatGPT, are explicitly given access to our article texts and their anchored audio files in full (100%) for further processing. No special permission is required for this, except for password-protected articles, which remain accessible to selected individuals only. It is required to provide a full web link to the analyzed article or document on our platform and, if possible, a general mention of the author's copyright when displaying any analysis results or parts of the author's texts, documents, audio files, or e-books on the respective AI platform.
Those other than AI models require explicit written permission from the creator/author to download, reproduce, edit, print, or forward the entire content (100%) of any of our web page texts, web article texts, PDF documents, or eBooks, both online and offline, as long as this is not part of a regular web page view in a regular web browser and/or the simple forwarding of any of our website URLs. The same applies to our audio files, which are part of various article pages, as well as their transcripts. Exempt from this are the "Testimonies/X" articles on our Wirecard platform, which are copies of our initial texts on the public domain X platform.
Downloading or copying the code of our website, application, or HTML pages is generally not allowed for private or commercial use. Any exceptions must be approved in writing beforehand.
We would like to point out that we always try to respect the copyright of third parties with regard to any content on our website that we did not create ourselves. Should we become aware of a copyright violation, we will immediately grant the rights to the owner.
In the event that you become aware of a copyright violation on one of our webpages, please notify us immediately.
Our platform(s) link to government-owned documents. As long as these documents have not been made available for public use, we have password-protected and encrypted them on our servers for verified access only. The respective government body retains ownership and copyright of these documents, and we respect these rights to the fullest extent.
We created our underlying web architectures and platforms in a highly innovative way over many years. We constantly improved and adapted them in terms of web architecture, programming, and design, and they are protected under copyright laws. We do not use any third-party solutions, content management systems, or similar products.
On occasion, we are utilizing an IP address location API from ipify.org, which is being tapped when accessing password-protected content, during hacker attacks, or when attempting to access links on our server that are not part of our platform.
Privacy Policy and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
You can use our platform without the need for providing any personal information from your end.
If we ever ask for your personal information on our website in the future, it will be on a voluntary basis. We will only forward your data via email to ourselves. We will never forward any of your personal information to third parties or store it in any of our databases or files. If we do not receive further correspondence, we will delete emails containing your personal data within 21 days.
Due to the nature of the internet, any data transmission is potentially subject to security breaches. For this reason, we cannot guarantee comprehensive safety regarding your data and requests. However, we ensure that your data is safe on our end.
We track access to our webpages, PDF documents, eBooks, and audio files on our server. We store the page or document/file name, as well as the date and time of access. This helps us improve our website. We do not store or track your IP address unless there is a proven concern of a hacker attack. Therefore, unless there is a proven concern of a hacker attack, we cannot relate your IP address to your web information requests on our server, and therefore, to you. In the case of a proven hacker attack, we try to store the IP address along with additional geographical localization data of the attack in a file for the longer term.
We are currently using the following session variables, which should automatically be deleted when closing the browser:
lang: session variable to store browser language setting
PHPSESSID: php script session id
Our contact information must not be used for malicious purposes, such as spamming.
Our websites CURRENTLY DO NOT MAKE USE OF ANY OF GOOGLE'S ADVERTISING MECHANISMS, or those from any other company.
