Use of Google Analytics

Type and purpose of the processing:

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA (hereinafter: “Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “Cookies”, i.e. text files that are stored on your computer and that allow an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, due to the activation of IP anonymisation on these websites, your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address submitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

The purposes of the data processing lie in the evaluation of the use of the website and in the compilation of reports on activities on the website. Based on the use of the website and the internet, other related services will then be provided.

Legal basis:

The processing of the data occurs on the basis of consent of the user (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).

Recipient:

The recipient of the data is Google as an order processor. For this, we have concluded a suitable order-processing contract with Google.

Storage duration:

The deletion of the data occurs as soon as it is no longer necessary for our recording purposes.

Third country transfer:

Google processes your data in the USA and is subject to the EU_US Privacy Shield https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework. Moreover, we have concluded standard data protection clauses with Google for the use of Google Analytics.

Mandatory or required provision:

The provision of your personal data occurs voluntarily, only on the basis of your consent. If you prevent access, this can lead to functional restrictions on the website.

Revocation of consent:

You can prevent the storage of cookies by a suitable setting of your browser software; we point out you, however, that in this case you will possibly not be able to use all functions of this website to the fullest extent. You can also prevent Google from capturing the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: Browser Add On to disable Google Analytics.

In addition or as an alternative to the Browser-Add-On, you can prevent the tracking on our sites by Google Analytics if you click this link. An opt-out cookie will then be installed on your device. This will prevent collection by Google Analytics for this website and for this browser in the future, as long as the cookie remains installed in your browser.

Profiling:

With the help of the Google Analytics tracking tool, the behaviour of the visitors to the website can be evaluated and their interests analysed. For this we create a pseudonymous user profile.


Use of Adobe Typekit

Type and purpose of the processing:

We use Adobe Typekit for the visual design of our website. Typekit is a service of

Adobe Systems Software Ireland Companies (4-6 Riverwalk, Citywest Business Campus, Dublin 24, Republic of Ireland; hereinafter “Adobe”), which grants us access to a font library. For the integration of the fonts used by us, your browser must build up a connection to a server of Adobe in the USA and download the font required for our website. Through this, Adobe receives the information that our website has been called by your IP address. You find further information about Adobe Typekit in the Data protection information of Adobe which you can retrieve here: https://www.adobe.com/de/privacy/policy.html

Legal basis:

The legal basis for the integration of Adobe Typekit and the data transfer connected with it to Adobe is your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).

Recipients:

Calling up script libraries or font libraries automatically triggers a connection to the operator of the library. You can find information about the use of your data by Adobe Typekit Web Fonts under https://typekit.com/ and in the Adobe Typekit Data Protection Declaration: https://www.adobe.com/de/privacy/policies/typekit.html.

Storage duration:

We do not collect personal information through the inclusion of Adobe Typekit Web Fonts.

Third country transfer:

Adobe is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement, which provides a guarantee to comply with European Data Protection legislation (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000TNo9AAG&status=Active).

Mandatory or required provision:

The provision of personal data is neither statutory nor contractually required. However, without the correct representation, the contents of standard fonts cannot be made possible.


Use of Google Maps

Type and purpose of the processing:

On this website we use the offer of Google Maps. Google Maps is operated by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (hereinafter “Google”). This allows us to show you interactive maps directly on the website, allowing you to conveniently use the map feature.

Recipients:

By visiting the website, Google receives information that you have accessed the corresponding sub-page of our website. This is done regardless of whether Google provides a user account that you are logged into, or there is no user account. When you are logged in to Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account.

If you do not want the allocation in your profile in Google, you must log out of Google before activating the button. Google will store your data as usage profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or need-based design of its website. Such an evaluation is in particular carried out (even for users who are not logged in) to provide need-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have a right of objection to the formation of these user profiles and for the exercise of that right you must directly contact Google.

Storage duration:

We do not collect personal information through the integration of Google Maps.

Third country transfer:

Google processes your data in the USA and is subject to the EU_US Privacy Shield https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.

If you do not want Google to collect, process or use information about you through our website, you can disable JavaScript in your browser settings. In this case, you cannot or can only partially use our website.

Mandatory or required provision:

The provision of your personal data occurs voluntarily, only on the basis of your consent. If you prevent access, this can lead to functional restrictions on the website.
