4. Analysis tools und Advertising
Google Maps
On our website we use Google Maps (API) from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"). Google Maps is a web service that displays interactive maps to visualize geographic information. Using this service will show you our location and make it easier for you to get there.
When you visit the subpages in which the map of Google Maps is embedded, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers of Google. It is possible that this information is also transmitted to servers of Google LLC. in the USA. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account that you are logged in to or whether a user account does not exist. If you are logged in to Google your data will be directly allocated to your account. If you do not wish such allocation to be made with your Google profile you have to log out before activating the button. Google saves your data (even for users who are not logged in) as user profiles and evaluates them. The collection, storage and evaluation are carried out in accordance with Article 6.1 lit. f of the GDPR on the basis of Google's legitimate interests in the display of personalized advertising, market research and/or the demand-oriented design of Google websites. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles by Google. To exercise this right, you have to contact Google.
If you do not agree with the future transmission of your data to Google when using Google Mapsyou also have the possibility to completely deactivate the web service of Google Maps by switching off the application JavaScript in your browser. Google Maps and thus also the map display on this website can then not be used.
