In order to display our content correctly and with eye-catching graphics in all browsers, we refer to this website “Google Fonts” of Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereafter referred to as “Google”) for the display of fonts.

You can find the data protection guidelines of the library operator, Google, here: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

Legal basis:

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

We do not collect any personal data through the inclusion of Google Fonts.

Provision requirement:

The provision of personal data is neither legally nor contractually prescribed. However, the correct display of the content of standard fonts cannot be enabled without this.

Revocation of consent:

The programming language JavaScript is used regularly to display the content. It is therefore possible to object to the data processing in that you deactivate the execution of JavaScript in your browser or install a JavaScript blocker. Please note that there may be functional limitations to the website as a result of this.

Use of Google Maps

Type and purpose of the processing:

We use the service offered by Google Maps on this website. Google Maps is operated by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (hereafter referred to as “Google”). As a result, we can display interactive maps in the website directly and enable you to easily use the map function.

This happens regardless of whether Google provides a user account, into which you are signed in, or if there is no user account. If you are signed into Google, your data is assigned to your account directly.

If you do not want assignment in your Google profile, you must sign out from Google before activating the button. Google saves your data as a usage profile and uses it for the purposes of advertising, market research, and/or tailored design of its website.

You have the right to object to the formation of this user profile, whereby you must contact Google in order to exercise this right.
