Data Protection

I. Data Protection
Our website can generally be used without providing personal data. Where personal data (such as name, address or email addresses) is collected on our pages, this is always done on a voluntary basis where possible. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent. We point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may have security gaps. Complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible. The use of contact data published as part of the imprint obligation by third parties for sending unsolicited advertising and informational materials is hereby expressly prohibited. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as through spam emails.


II. Notes on Data Processing with Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses "cookies", text files that are stored on your computer to enable the website to analyse how users use it. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is normally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. In the event that IP anonymisation is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area in advance. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted 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 transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. You can refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser. However, please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en


III. Google Tag Manager
This website uses Google Tag Manager. This service allows website tags to be managed via an interface. The Google Tool Manager only implements tags. This means: No cookies are used and no personal data is collected. The Google Tool Manager triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. However, Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made at the domain or cookie level, it remains in place for all tracking tags, insofar as these are implemented with Google Tag Manager.

IV. Google Fonts
We use Google Fonts on our website. This is a service of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). Google Fonts allows us to integrate external fonts, so-called Google Fonts, into our website, which ensures a uniform and attractive presentation.

Scope of Data Processing
By integrating Google Fonts, a connection to Google's servers is established when our website is accessed. This transmits your IP address to a Google server in the USA where it is stored. Google receives the information that our website was visited with your IP address. No further personal data is collected or stored.

Purpose of Data Processing
Google Fonts are used to ensure a uniform and attractive presentation of our online offerings. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Legal Basis for Data Processing
The legal basis for the integration of Google Fonts and the associated data transfer to Google is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in an attractive presentation of our website.

Storage Duration
Google stores the collected data for a period of up to one year. Further storage may occur if required by law or if Google has a legitimate interest in storage.

Right to Object and Removal
You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR. An informal notification to us is sufficient. You can also prevent JavaScript from running in your browser by installing an appropriate blocker (e.g. https://noscript.net/ ) or by disabling JavaScript in your browser. This may, however, lead to restrictions in the functionality of our website.
