Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive maps to visually represent geographical information. Using this service will show you our location and make it easier for you to find us.

When you access pages on our website that include a Google Maps map, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to and stored on Google servers. This may also involve transmission to the servers of Google LLC in the USA. This occurs regardless of whether you have a Google account and are logged in. If you are logged into Google, your data will be directly associated with your account. If you do not want this association with your Google profile, you must log out before activating the button.

The collection, storage, and analysis of your data are carried out in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, based on Google's legitimate interest in displaying personalized advertising, conducting market research, and/or tailoring Google websites to user needs. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and to exercise this right, you must contact Google.

Data may also be transmitted to: Google LLC, USA. The provider uses "Google Fonts" for the visual design of the CAPTCHA window; these are fonts downloaded from the internet by Google. No further information beyond that already transmitted to Google via the reCAPTCHA functionality is processed.

The service checks whether an entry is made by a natural person or is being misused through automated processing, and blocks spam, DDoS attacks, and similar automated malicious access. To ensure that an action is performed by a human and not an automated bot, the provider collects the IP address of the device used, identification data of the browser and operating system type, as well as the date and duration of the visit, and transmits this information to the provider's servers for analysis. Cookies, small text files stored in the browser of the device, may be used in this process.

If the processing described above is based on cookies, these will only be set if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

If the processing described above is carried out without the use of cookies, the legal basis is our legitimate interest in establishing individual responsibility on the Internet and preventing misuse and spam in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of the data of our website visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

10) Tools and other items

10.1 Cookie Consent Tool

This website uses a "cookie consent tool" to obtain valid user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent. The cookie consent tool is displayed to users upon visiting the site as an interactive interface, where consent for specific cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be granted by ticking boxes. By using this tool, all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded if the respective user grants the corresponding consent by ticking the boxes. This ensures that such cookies are only placed on the user's device if consent has been given.

This tool uses technically necessary cookies to store your cookie preferences. No personal user data is processed in this process.

If, in individual cases, personal data (such as the IP address) is processed for the purpose of storing, assigning or logging cookie settings, this is done in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in a legally compliant, user-specific and user-friendly consent management for cookies and thus in a legally compliant design of our website.

A further legal basis for processing is Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. As data controllers, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of cookies that are not technically necessary dependent on the respective user's consent.

Where necessary, we have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of the data of our website visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

Further information about the operator and the settings options of the cookie consent tool can be found directly in the corresponding user interface on our website.

10.2 Data Dog

This website uses a service for the automatic transmission of error reports from the following provider: Datadog, Inc., 620 8th Ave, 45th Floor, New York, NY 10018 USA

In the event of technical complications or functional impairments related to the operation of the provider's software, the system automatically sends error reports to the provider containing information about the specific source of the error and its origin. These reports transmit both server information and usage parameters such as the IP address, the browser used, timestamps, and the URL accessed.

Error reports may, depending on the origin of the error, also contain further personal customer data that we have collected and stored in the course of concluding contracts (in particular first and last name, address, email address). This is always conceivable if the error occurs in connection with software-based processing of customer data.

If the information transmitted in this way also includes personal data, the processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in an efficient analysis of the causes of errors in order to improve the reliability and functionality of our website.

For the transfer of data to the USA, the provider relies on standard contractual clauses of the European Commission, which are intended to ensure compliance with the European level of data protection.
