In order to display our contents correctly and attractively across all browsers, we use ‘Google Fonts’ from Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter referred to as ‘Google’) to display fonts on this website.

The legal basis for the integration of Google Fonts and the associated data transfer to Google is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).

When script or font libraries are accessed, this automatically triggers a connection to the library operator. Therefore, it is theoretically possible for the operator (in this case, Google) to collect data – although it is currently unclear whether this is done and, if so, for what purposes.

We do not collect any personal data through the integration of Google Fonts.
You can find further information about Google Fonts at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

The programming language JavaScript is commonly used to display content. Therefore, you can object to data processing by deactivating the execution of JavaScript in your browser or installing a JavaScript blocker. Please note that this may result in the functionality of the website being restricted.
Type and purpose of processing:
We use the Google Maps service on this website. Google Maps is operated by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (hereinafter referred to as ‘Google’). This enables us to display interactive maps to you directly in the website and gives you convenient use of the map function.

Recipients:

If you are logged in to Google, your data are associated directly with your account.
If you do not want Google to associate your data with your profile, you must log out of Google before enabling the button. Google saves your data in the form of user profiles and uses it for the purposes of advertising, market research, and/or needs-based configuration of its website. Such evaluation takes place in particular (even for users who are not logged in) for the purpose of providing tailored advertising and informing other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, which must be exercised through Google directly.
