5) Web analytics services
Independent Analytics

This website uses “Independent Analytics”, a web analysis tool from Independent Insights LLC, 1901 S 9th St, 515B, Philadelphia, PA 19148, USA.

Interactions of randomly selected, individual visitors with the website are recorded anonymously. This creates a log of, for example, mouse movements and clicks with the aim of showing opportunities for improvement of the respective website. At no time will personal data be collected or processed. When using this website, Independent Analytics only collects non-personal data such as information about the browser and the user agent. These are stored in a non-personally identifiable form and evaluated for statistical purposes. Deletion takes place as soon as the data is no longer needed for our evaluation purposes.

If personal data is processed in individual cases, the processing is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest in the statistical evaluation of usage behavior for optimization purposes in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 (f) GDPR.

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

6) Page functionalities
Google Maps

This website uses an online map service from the following provider: Google Maps (API) from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”).

Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive (land) maps to visually display geographical information. By using this service, our location will be displayed to you and any journey will be made easier.

When you access the sub-pages in which the Google Maps map is integrated, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google servers and stored there; this may also result in a transmission to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether a user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not want your profile to be associated with Google, you must log out before activating the button. Google saves your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them.

The collection, storage and evaluation are carried out in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 (f) GDPR on the basis of Google’s legitimate interest in displaying personalized advertising, market research and/or the needs-based design of Google websites. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, although you must contact Google to exercise this right. If you do not agree to the future transmission of your data to Google when using Google Maps, you also have the option of completely deactivating the Google Maps web service by turning off the JavaScript application in your browser. Google Maps and therefore the map display on this website cannot then be used.

To the extent legally required, we have obtained your consent for the processing of your data as described above in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect. To exercise your revocation, please follow the option described above for making an objection.

For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US data protection framework (EU-US Data Privacy Framework), which ensures compliance with European data protection levels on the basis of an adequacy decision by the European Commission.
