The legal basis for the temporary storage of this data is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

3.8. Planned Data Transfers to Third Countries
Currently, no data is transferred to third countries, and no such transfers are planned for the future.

4. Use of Cookies
We use so-called “cookies” on our website. These are small text files sent from our web server to your computer to identify it for the duration of your visit. We do not collect any personal data through these cookies.

Our website can be viewed even without cookies being stored. You can disable cookies in your browser settings or configure your browser to notify you when a website attempts to store a cookie. In this case, you can decide whether to accept the cookie. However, for technical reasons, you must allow all temporary cookies to ensure that our website functions properly.


5. Use of Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). This service collects and stores data, which is used to create usage profiles using pseudonyms. These usage profiles are used to analyze visitor behavior and are evaluated to improve and tailor our offerings to your needs.

Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies,” which are text files stored on your computer that enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie regarding your use of this website (including part of your IP address) is transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there. Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity for the website operators, and to provide other services related to website and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required by law or where such third parties process the data on Google’s behalf. Google will under no circumstances associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. We, too, will not merge the pseudonymized usage profiles with personal data regarding the bearer of the pseudonym without your separate, explicit consent. Data collection for usage statistics and transmission to Google takes place using the extended code “gat._anonymizeIp();”. The collection of IP addresses is therefore anonymized (so-called IP masking). You may object to the collection, use, and storage of data for the purpose of web analytics at any time with future effect by preventing the installation of cookies through the appropriate settings in your browser software; however, we would like to point out that in this case, you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. In addition, you can prevent the collection and processing of data regarding the use of this website (including parts of your IP address) by Google by downloading and installing the available browser plugin from the following link: www.tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout


6. Data Processing by Social Networks

We maintain publicly accessible profiles on social media platforms. You can find a list of the specific social media platforms we use below.

Social networks such as Facebook, Google+, etc., can generally analyze your user behavior in detail when you visit their website or a website that includes social media content (e.g., “Like” buttons or advertising banners). Visiting our social media pages triggers numerous data processing operations that are relevant to data protection. Specifically:

If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media page, the operator of the social media platform may associate this visit with your user account. However, your personal data may also be collected even if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. In this case, data collection occurs, for example, through cookies stored on your device or by recording your IP address.

Using the data collected in this way, social media platform operators can create user profiles that store your preferences and interests. This allows them to display interest-based ads to you both on and off the respective social media platform. If you have an account with the respective social network, interest-based ads may be displayed on all devices on which you are currently logged in or have been logged in.

Please also note that we are unable to track all data processing activities on social media platforms. Depending on the provider, additional data processing operations may therefore be carried out by the operators of these platforms. For more details, please refer to the terms of use and privacy policies of the respective social media platforms.

7. Security Measures We implement technical and organizational security measures to protect personal data, particularly against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction, or access by unauthorized persons. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments. Please note that, despite all security measures, it is possible that third parties may gain access to or tamper with data transmitted over the Internet.

8. Contact If you have any questions or comments regarding this Privacy Policy, please contact us at the address listed in the Legal Notice.

9. Updates to Our Privacy Policy Ongoing technical developments in the field of IT and the Internet also necessitate adjustments to our existing Privacy Policy. We therefore reserve the right to make additions or changes to this Privacy Policy.

10. Google Maps This site uses the Google Maps map service via an API. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

In order to use the features of Google Maps, it is necessary to store your IP address. This information is typically transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there. The provider of this website has no control over this data transfer.

We use Google Maps to ensure that our online content is presented in an appealing way and to make it easy for users to find the locations listed on our website. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.
