Integration of Google Maps

We use the Google Maps service on this website. This allows us to show you interactive maps directly on the website and enables you to use the map function conveniently.

When you visit the website, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website.

This takes place regardless of whether Google provides a user account via which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not wish your data to be associated with your Google profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or the needs-based design of its website.

You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact Google to exercise this right.

Online offers on social media platforms

The platform operators use the usage profiles obtained in this way - usually across all devices - to display personalized advertising to you. Data processing may also affect people who are not registered as users with the respective social media platform. Your data may be processed outside the European Union, which may make it more difficult to enforce your rights. However, when selecting such social media platforms, we ensure that the operators undertake to comply with EU data protection standards.

The processing of your personal data when you visit one of our social media offerings is based on our legitimate interests in a diverse external presentation of our company and the use of an effective information option as well as communication with you. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 I f) GDPR.

We use a social plug-in of the microblogging service Twitter on our website, which is operated by Twitter Inc, 1355 Market St., Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA. The plug-ins are generally provided with a Twitter logo in the form of a blue “Twitter bird”.

If you call up our site that contains such a plug-in, your browser establishes a direct connection to the Twitter servers, the content of the plug-in is transmitted by Twitter directly to your browser and finally integrated into the page. As a result, Twitter receives the information that the browser you are using has accessed the corresponding page of our website. Furthermore, this information (including your IP address) is transmitted to a Twitter server in the USA and stored. This also applies if you do not have a Twitter account or are not logged in to Twitter at the time.

If you do have a Twitter account and are logged in, your visit to our website will be assigned to your Twitter account. If you click the “Tweet” or “Share” button, the information will also be transmitted directly to a Twitter server and stored there. Finally, the information is also published on your Twitter account and displayed to your Twitter “contacts”.

If you do not agree to Twitter assigning the data collected via our website directly to your Twitter account, we recommend that you log out after using the Twitter social network. You can also prevent the Twitter plug-in from loading with add-ons for your browser, for example, you can use the open source software “NoScript” (https://noscript.net/).

Twitter guarantees through certification according to the EU-US Privacy Shield (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000TORzAAO&status=Active) that the data protection requirements of the EU are complied with when processing data in the USA.

The data is processed in accordance with Art. 6 I f) GDPR. With the plug-in, we offer you the opportunity to interact with social networks and other users so that we can improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user.

Further information regarding the collection and use of data as well as your rights and protection options can be found at https://twitter.com/de/privacy

Cookies are stored on your computer for this analysis. The information collected in this way is stored by the controller exclusively on its server in Germany. You can stop the analysis by deleting existing cookies and preventing the storage of cookies. If you prevent the storage of cookies, we would like to point out that you may not be able to use this website to its full extent.
