3.3 Marketing measures
We use Google and Facebook services for marketing purposes (Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; Facebook, Inc, 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304 , USA). With the help of these services, we can display advertisements in a more targeted manner without identifying you personally. The services we use include Google Ads, Google AdSense, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager. For example, an individual cookie or a comparable application is stored on your device. We also use the Facebook or meta tracking pixel. Among other things, this provides Facebook with the information that our website has been accessed from your device.
We also offer social plugins on our website (e.g. Facebook Like button). Such a social plugin is activated by clicking on it. Only through this activation does the service provider collect information and trigger its transmission.
3.5 Google Maps
Our website uses Google Maps API to display geographical information visually. For processing and use, Google collects, for example, data on the use of the map functions by visitors.
3.6 Script / font library
We use script and font libraries (e.g. Google Web Fonts) to display our content correctly and graphically appealing across all browsers. Otherwise, content is displayed in a standard font. Calling up script or font libraries triggers a connection to the library operator.
4. disclosure of data to third parties
We do not pass on the data provided to us to third parties. However, we work together with third parties. This may result in third parties gaining knowledge of personal data. We therefore select our service providers carefully, particularly with regard to data protection and data security, and take all measures required under data protection law to ensure permissible data processing.
5. data processing outside the European Union
We ourselves do not process your personal data outside the EU. However, some of our service providers whose services we use process data outside the EU.
6. hacker attacks
Unfortunately, there are always hacker attacks aimed at causing damage to website operators or their users (e.g. through viruses). Complete protection is not possible. Technical data is therefore processed in order to detect or defend against such attacks. This data is deleted when it is no longer required for the investigation or defense.
7. responsible body
If you have any questions or suggestions regarding data protection or the assertion of your rights, please contact us via the contact page.
8. change to our privacy policy
We reserve the right to adapt this privacy policy so that it always complies with current legal requirements.
