5. Integration of external web services and processing of data outside the EU

We use active content from external providers, so-called web services, on our website. By calling up our website, these external providers may receive personal information about your visit to our website. Processing of data outside the EU may be possible. You can prevent this by installing a corresponding browser plug-in or by deactivating the execution of scripts in your browser. This can lead to functional restrictions on the websites that you visit.

We use the following external web services:

Google

We use the following Google services on our site: Google, Gstatic, Google Photo, Google Video, Youtube, GoogleAds (Doubleclick). The external provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4 Ireland together with Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, 94043 Mountain View, USA, Mail: support-de@google.com, Website: http://www.google.com/.

The processing also takes place in a third country for which there is no adequacy decision by the Commission. Therefore, the level of protection that is usual for the GDPR cannot be guaranteed during transmission, as it cannot be ruled out that in third countries, e.g. authorities, can gain access to the data collected.

The legal basis for the transmission of personal data is your consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR or Article 9 (2) (a) GDPR, which you have given on our website.

On our site we use the map service of the company Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter: Google Maps). Google Maps is integrated into the website via the Google API in order to visualize location information and display it in the form of a map. The processing of the IP address by Google Maps is technically necessary to display the map. With regard to the other web services integrated via Google APIs, the regulations in the respective section of this data protection declaration on Google APIs apply.

The processing also takes place in a third country for which there is no adequacy decision by the Commission. Therefore, the level of protection that is usual for the GDPR cannot be guaranteed during transmission, as it cannot be ruled out that in third countries, e.g. authorities, can gain access to the data collected.

LEGAL BASIS FOR THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA

Art. 6 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest). Our legitimate interest lies in being able to visualize the usual presentation of location information on the Internet.

Purpose of data processing

On our behalf, Google will use the information obtained from Google Maps to show you the map. You can find us faster and more precisely using Google Maps than with a simple, non-interactive route sketch.

Duration of storage

Google will save the data relevant for the function of Google Maps for as long as it is necessary to fulfill the booked web service. The data is collected and saved anonymously. If there is a personal reference, the data will be deleted immediately, provided that it is not subject to any statutory retention requirements. In any case, the deletion takes place after the retention period expires.

Opposition and cancellation option

You can prevent the collection and forwarding of personal data to Google (especially your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by deactivating the execution of script code in your browser, installing a script blocker in your browser or Activate the “Do Not Track” setting in your browser. You can find Google’s security and data protection principles at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

The processing also takes place in a third country for which there is no adequacy decision by the Commission. Therefore, the level of protection that is usual for the GDPR cannot be guaranteed during transmission, as it cannot be ruled out that in third countries, e.g. authorities, can gain access to the data collected.

The legal basis for the transmission of personal data is your consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR or Article 9 (2) (a) GDPR, which you have given on our website.
