7) Web Analytics Services

1&1 IONOS WebAnalytics

This website uses the web analytics service of the following provider: 1&1 IONOS Internet SE, Elgendorfer Str. 57, 56410 Montabaur, Germany

With the help of cookies and/or similar technologies (tracking pixels, web beacons, algorithms for reading out end device and browser information), the service collects and stores pseudonymized visitor data, including information about the end device used, such as the IP address and browser information, to evaluate it for statistical analyses of user behavior on our website and to create pseudonymized usage profiles. Among other things, this allows for the evaluation of movement patterns (so-called heatmaps), which show the duration of page visits as well as interactions with page content (e.g., text input, scrolling, clicks, and mouse-overs). Pseudonymization generally excludes direct personal identifiability. No merging with clearly identifiable data about you collected in other ways takes place.

All processing described above, in particular the reading out or storing of information on the end device used, is only carried out if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your given consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of our site visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.


8) Page Functionalities

Google Web Fonts

This site uses so-called Web Fonts from the following provider for the uniform display of fonts: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland

When you call up a page, your browser loads the required Web Fonts into its browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly and establishes a direct connection to the provider's servers. Hereby, certain browser information, including your IP address, is transmitted to the provider.

Data may also be transmitted to: Google LLC, USA

The processing of personal data in the course of connecting with the font provider is only carried out if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your given consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service via the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website. If your browser does not support Web Fonts, a standard font from your computer will be used.

For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with European data protection levels based on an adequacy decision of the European Commission.

10) Duration of Personal Data Storage

When personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, this data will be stored until you exercise your right to object in accordance with Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR.
