Google Fonts
This site uses so-called Google Fonts provided by Google for the uniform display of fonts. When you call up a page, your browser loads the required fonts into its browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly.
For this purpose, the browser you use must connect to Google's servers. This gives Google knowledge that this website was accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Fonts is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the uniform display of the font on its website. If appropriate consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 Para. 1 TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user's terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.
If your browser does not support Google Fonts, a standard font from your computer will be used.
Further information about Google Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.
The company has certification under the "EU-US Data Privacy Framework" (DPF).

Google reCAPTCHA
We use "Google reCAPTCHA" (hereinafter "reCAPTCHA") on this website. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
reCAPTCHA is intended to check whether data entry on this website (e.g. in a contact form) is carried out by a human or by an automated program. For this purpose, reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of the website visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis begins automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g. IP address, length of stay of the website visitor on the website or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google.
The reCAPTCHA analyses run completely in the background. Website visitors are not informed that an analysis is taking place.
The storage and analysis of data is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its web offers from abusive automated spying and from SPAM. If appropriate consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 Para. 1 TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user's terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.
Further information about Google reCAPTCHA can be found in Google's privacy policy and Google's terms of use at the following links: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en and https://policies.google.com/terms?hl=en.

Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to analyze website usage. The data obtained from this is used to optimize our website and advertising measures.
Google Analytics is provided to us by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). Google processes the data on website usage on our behalf and is contractually committed to measures to ensure the security and confidentiality of the processed data.
During your website visit, the following data is transmitted to Google, among others:
- Pages accessed
- Your behavior on the pages (for example, dwell time, clicks, scroll depth)
- The achievement of "website goals" (e.g. contact requests and newsletter registrations)
- Your approximate location (country and city)
- Your internet address (IP address)
- Technical information such as browser, internet provider, device and screen resolution
- Source of your visit (i.e. via which website or advertising medium you came to us)
- A randomly generated user ID
No personal data such as name, address or contact details are transmitted to Google Analytics.
This data is transmitted to Google servers in the USA. We point out that in the USA, the same level of data protection as within the EU cannot be guaranteed under data protection law.
Google Analytics stores cookies in your web browser for a period of two years since your last visit. These cookies contain a randomly generated user ID with which you can be recognized on future website visits.
The recorded data is stored together with the randomly generated user ID, which enables the evaluation of pseudonymous user profiles. Other data remains stored in aggregated form indefinitely.
If you do not agree with the collection, you can prevent it by installing the browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics once.
Google Tag Manager
We use Google Tag Manager. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Tag Manager is a tool that helps us integrate tracking or statistics tools and other technologies on our website. Google Tag Manager itself does not create user profiles, does not store cookies and does not carry out independent analyses. It only serves to manage and deliver the tools integrated via it. However, Google Tag Manager does collect your IP address, which can also be transmitted to Google's parent company in the United States.
The use of Google Tag Manager is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the quick and uncomplicated integration and management of various tools on its website. If appropriate consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 Para. 1 TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user's terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.
