Information on data processing in connection with Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the data controller for this website is located outside the European Economic Area or Switzerland, Google Analytics data processing is carried out by Google LLC. Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited are hereinafter referred to as “Google”.

Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your abbreviated IP address) will generally be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

Google Analytics is used on this website exclusively with the extension “_anonymizeIp()”. This extension ensures anonymization of the IP address by shortening it and precludes direct personal reference. The extension shortens Google's IP address within member states of the European Union or in other states that are party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there. The IP address provided by Google Analytics as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

On behalf of the site operator, Google will use the information obtained to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the site operator with further services relating to website and internet use (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO). The legitimate interest in data processing lies in optimizing this website, analyzing how it is used and customizing its content. Pseudonymization adequately safeguards the interests of users.

Google LLC. offers a guarantee based on the standard contractual clauses to comply with an adequate level of data protection. The data sent and linked to cookies, user IDs (e.g. user ID) or advertising IDs will be automatically deleted after 50 months. The deletion of data whose retention period has been reached is carried out automatically once a month.

The collection of data by Google Analytics can be prevented by the site visitor adjusting the cookie settings for this website. The collection and storage of the IP address and the data generated by cookies can also be objected to at any time with effect for the future. The corresponding browser plug-in can be downloaded and installed from the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Visitors to the site can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data on this website by clicking on the following link. This sets an opt-out cookie that prevents the future collection of data when visiting this website.

Further information on the use of data by Google, settings and objection options, can be found in Google's privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy) and in the settings for the display of advertising by Google (https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated).

reCAPTCHA
To protect your requests via the online form, we use the reCAPTCHA service provided by Google LLC (Google). The query is used to determine whether the input is made by a human or abusively by automated, machine processing. The query includes sending the IP address and any other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. For this purpose, your input will be transmitted to Google and used there. However, your IP address will be shortened by Google in advance within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of this service. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of reCaptcha is not merged with other data from Google. These data are subject to the deviating data protection regulations of Google.
