AI Policy

1. Purpose of this AI Policy

This AI Policy describes how the content of this website may be used by artificial intelligence (AI) systems, Large Language Models (LLMs), and automated crawlers, and which uses are explicitly excluded.

The aim is transparency toward operators of AI systems, as well as a clear demarcation of permissible and impermissible uses.

2. Fundamental stance on AI usage

We are fundamentally open to the use of artificial intelligence for information gathering, analysis, summarization and citation.

At the same time we object to the use of our content for training, fine-tuning, or model optimization purposes, unless explicit written permission has been granted.

3. Permitted uses

The following uses of our publicly accessible content are permitted:

• Analysis and understanding of the content
• Summaries (e.g., for search, assistive, or response systems)
• Citation of individual contents or text excerpts
• Mention of our content as a source
• Referencing within AI-assisted assistive systems

A correct and unambiguous source attribution is a prerequisite for all uses listed above

4. Prohibited uses

The following uses are expressly not allowed:

• Use of the content for training AI models
• Fine-tuning or retraining of existing models
• Creation, expansion, or improvement of datasets for machine learning
• Storage of the content in training or embedding databases
• Sharing the content with third parties for training purposes

This applies regardless of whether the training is conducted fully, partially, automatically, or manually.

5. Copyright and protection of the content

All content on this website is subject to the applicable copyright.

Using for training purposes constitutes a copyright-relevant exploitation and is prohibited without prior written permission.

The mere public availability of the content does not constitute consent to such use.

6. Technical notes

To support automated systems, we also provide the following notes:

• a `robots.txt` to control crawlers
• a `llm.txt` with machine-readable usage guidelines

These documents serve as guidance and do not replace legal regulations.

7. Contact and approvals

Requests to use our content beyond the purposes covered by this AI Policy, in particular regarding training or licensing questions, should be directed to:
kontakt@lilac-media.de

8. Validity and changes

This AI Policy applies to all content on this website in its current version.

We reserve the right to amend this AI Policy in response to legal, technical or content-related changes.
