Analysis services for websites, tracking
On our website we use the website analysis service for websites from:Google Analytics
To tailor our website to your needs, we create pseudonymous usage profiles using Google Analytics. Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, i.e. text files that are stored on your computer and which enable your use of this website to be analyzed. The information generated by the cookie about your use of our website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Since we have activated IP anonymization on our website, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to 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 only shortened there. Google will use this information to evaluate your use of this website for us, to compile reports on website activity and to provide us with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. For example, we use Google Analytics to evaluate clicks from Google AdWords for purely statistical purposes. You can find information about Google's use of data at https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de and at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/.
The legal basis for the use of the analysis tools is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter f) GDPR. Website analysis is in the legitimate interest of our company and serves to statistically record page usage in order to continually improve our website and the range of services we offer.

Your rights as a data subject
If your personal data is processed when you visit our website, you as the “data subject” within the meaning of the GDPR have the following rights:Use of Google Maps
Our website uses the Google Maps API. By using Google Maps, information about your use of this website (including your IP address) may be transmitted to a Google server (Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, California, 94043) in the USA and stored there.Google may transfer the information obtained through Maps to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google. However, your IP address will under no circumstances be associated with other Google data. However, we must point out that it would be technically possible for Google to identify individual users based on the data received.
We also have no influence on whether your personal data and personality profiles are processed by Google for other purposes. If you want to avoid this at all costs, you can deactivate the Google Maps service and thus prevent data transfer to Google. To do this, you simply need to deactivate JavaScript in your browser. In this case, no data will be transferred, but you will no longer be able to use the map display on our website.
