USE OF GOOGLE ANALYTICS

NATURE AND PURPOSE OF PROCESSING:
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA (hereinafter: "Google"). Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, due to the activation of IP anonymization on these websites, your IP address will be truncated beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. 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 for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating 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 data from Google.

The purposes of data processing are to evaluate the use of the website and to compile reports on activities on the website. Based on the use of the website and the internet, further related services shall then be provided.

LEGAL BASIS:
The processing of data is based on the consent of the user (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO).

RECIPIENT:
The recipient of the data is Google as an order processor. For this purpose, we have concluded the corresponding order processing agreement with Google.

STORAGE PERIOD:
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for our recording purposes.

THIRD COUNTRY TRANSFER:
Google processes your data in the USA and has submitted to the EU_US Privacy Shield https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework. We have also concluded standard data protection clauses with Google for the use of Google Analytics.

PROVISION PRESCRIBED OR REQUIRED:
The provision of your personal data is voluntary, based solely on your consent. If you prevent access, this may result in functional restrictions on the website.

REVOCATION OF CONSENT:

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: Browser Add On to disable Google Analytics.

SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS AND SOCIAL SHARING

We have our own social media pages with the third-party providers that can be reached via links from this website/app. By using the links, you can access the respective websites of the third-party providers (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, Google+) and also share our content. As soon as you have accessed the page of the third-party provider, you are in the area of responsibility of the respective third-party provider, so that their privacy policy or their statements on data use also apply. We have no influence on this, but we recommend logging out of the respective third-party provider before using a corresponding link in order to avoid unnecessary data transfer, so that usage profiles cannot be created by the third-party provider simply by using the link.

USE OF SCRIPT LIBRARIES (GOOGLE WEBFONTS)

NATURE AND PURPOSE OF PROCESSING:
In order to display our content correctly and in a graphically appealing manner across browsers, we use "Google Web Fonts" from Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter "Google") on this website to display fonts.
The privacy policy of the library operator Google can be found here: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

LEGAL BASIS:
The legal basis for the integration of Google Webfonts and the associated data transfer to Google is your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). 

RECIPIENT:
Calling up script libraries or font libraries automatically triggers a connection to the operator of the library. It is theoretically possible - although it is currently also unclear whether and, if so, for what purposes - that the operator collects Google data in this case.

STORAGE PERIOD:
We do not collect any personal data, through the integration of Google Web Fonts.
Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google's privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

The provision of personal data is neither required by law, nor by contract. However, the correct display of the content of standard fonts cannot be made possible without it.

REVOCATION OF CONSENT:
The JavaScript programming language is regularly used to display the content. You can therefore 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 functional restrictions on the website.

GOOGLE ADWORDS

NATURE AND PURPOSE OF PROCESSING:
Our website uses Google conversion tracking. The company operating the Google AdWords services is Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. If you have reached our website via an ad placed by Google, Google AdWords will set a cookie on your computer. The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google.

If the user visits certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked across AdWords customers' websites. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. The customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive information that personally identifies users.

LEGAL BASIS:
The legal basis for the integration of Google AdWords and the associated data transfer to Google is your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO).

RECIPIENT:
Every time you visit our website, personal data, including your IP address, is transferred to Google in the USA. This personal data is stored by Google. Google may share this personal data collected via the technical process with third parties.
Our company does not contain any information from Google by means of which the data subject could be identified.

STORAGE PERIOD:
These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification.

THIRD COUNTRY TRANSFER:
Google processes your data in the USA and has submitted to the Privacy Shield https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.

WITHDRAWAL OF CONSENT:
If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can refuse the setting of a cookie required for this purpose - for example, by means of a browser setting that generally deactivates the automatic setting of cookies or by setting your browser so that cookies from the domain "googleleadservices.com" are blocked.

Please note that you may not delete the opt-out cookies as long as you do not want any measurement data to be recorded. If you have deleted all your cookies in the browser, you must set the respective opt-out cookie again.
