THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY.

This website uses Google fonts, provided by Google, to ensure a uniform display of fonts. When you access a page, your browser loads the required fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly.
For this purpose, the browser you use needs to connect to Google’s servers. This connection informs Google that your IP address has accessed this website. The use of Google fonts is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in ensuring the consistent presentation of its website’s fonts. If explicit consent has been requested, the processing is carried out solely on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG, insofar as consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g., device fingerprinting) as defined by the TDDDG.

Google reCAPTCHA
We use Google reCAPTCHA (hereinafter referred to as “reCAPTCHA”) on this website. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
reCAPTCHA is used to check whether data entered on this website (e.g., in a contact form) is entered by a human or by an automated program. For this purpose, reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of the website visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis starts automatically as soon as the visitor accesses the website. reCAPTCHA evaluates various information for this analysis (e.g., IP address, the time spent on the website or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is transmitted to Google.
The reCAPTCHA analyses run entirely in the background. Website visitors are not notified that such an analysis is taking place.
The storage and analysis of the data are based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its web services from abusive automated spying and spam. If explicit consent has been requested, the processing will take place exclusively based on Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g., device fingerprinting) as defined by the TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.
For more information about Google reCAPTCHA, please refer to Google’s privacy policy and terms of use via the following links: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en and https://policies.google.com/terms?hl=en.
The company is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF).

Any company certified under the DPF commits to adhering to these data protection standards. More information can be found at the following link: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/participant/5780.
Google Analytics
The data controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service that allows the collection, analysis and evaluation of data about website visitors’ behavior. A web analytics service collects, among other things, data such as the website from which a visitor arrived (referrer), the specific pages accessed, the frequency and duration of page views. Web analytics is primarily used to optimize a website and to conduct a cost-benefit analysis of online advertising.
The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
The legal basis for this data processing is your consent, in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. Upon visiting our website, you may give consent for data processing by cookies for analytical and marketing purposes. This consent is voluntary and can be withdrawn at any time. If no consent is given, no cookies for marketing or analytical purposes will be set.
The data controller uses the “_gat._anonymizeIp” feature for web analytics via Google Analytics. This function anonymizes and shortens the IP address of users accessing our website from within a European Union member state or another party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of using Google Analytics is to analyze visitor traffic to our website. Google uses the collected data to evaluate the use of our website, compile reports on website activity and provide additional services related to website use.
Google Analytics sets a cookie on the user’s device. What cookies are, has already been explained above. This cookie enables Google to analyze the use of our website. Through each call-up of one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the internet browser is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical process, Google obtains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which Google uses, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently to enable commission settlements.
Through the use of the cookie, personal information such as the access time, the location from which access was made and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject are stored. Each time our website is visited, this personal data, including the IP address of the data subject’s internet connection, is transmitted to Google. In some cases, the data may also be transferred to Google servers in the United States. Due to Google’s certification under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, the European Commission has determined an adequate level of data protection for Google. Google may share the personal data collected through this technical process with third parties under certain circumstances.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by adjusting the settings of the browser they are using, thus permanently objecting to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the browser would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the data subject’s information technology system. Additionally, any cookies already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time through the internet browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, the data subject has the option to object to the collection of data generated by Google Analytics, related to the use of this website and to the processing of this data by Google, and to prevent such processing. For this purpose, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on from the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information regarding website visits may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered an objection by Google. If the data subject’s information technology system is deleted, formatted or reinstalled at a later time, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person within their control, there is the option to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.
Further information and the applicable privacy policies of Google can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and at https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail at this link: https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.
