Information on Data Processing in Connection with Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the data controller for the processing of data on this website is located outside the European Economic Area or Switzerland, then 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 stored on the visitor's computer and enable an analysis of the visitor's use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about the use of this website by the visitor (including the truncated IP address) is usually transmitted to a Google server and stored there.
Google Analytics is used exclusively with the "_anonymizeIp()" extension on this website. This extension ensures anonymization of the IP address by truncation and excludes direct personal reference. By means of the extension, Google shortens the IP address within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmission. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The IP address transmitted by the corresponding browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.
On behalf of the website operator, Google will use the information collected to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services related to website usage and internet usage to the website operator (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). The legitimate interest in data processing lies in the optimization of this website, the analysis of the use of the website, and the adaptation of its content. The interests of users are sufficiently protected by pseudonymization.
Google LLC. provides a guarantee to ensure an adequate level of data protection based on the standard contractual clauses. The data sent and linked to cookies, user IDs (e.g., User-ID), or advertising IDs are automatically deleted after 50 months. Data whose retention period has expired is automatically deleted once a month.
The collection by Google Analytics can be prevented by adjusting the cookie settings for this website. In addition, the collection and storage of IP address and data generated by cookies can be objected to at any time with effect for the future. The corresponding browser plugin can be downloaded and installed using the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

reCAPTCHA
To protect your inquiries via internet form, we use the reCAPTCHA service provided by Google LLC (Google). The query serves to distinguish whether the input is made by a human or abusive automated, machine processing. The query includes the transmission of the IP address and, if necessary, other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service. For this purpose, your input is transmitted to Google and used there. However, your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before this happens. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated 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 will not be merged with other data from Google. For this data, the differing privacy policies of the company Google apply.
