II. External Services

1. Google Analytics 4

This website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). We have entered into a data processing agreement with Google and fully comply with the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics 4.

Google Analytics 4 uses “cookies,” text files stored on your computer, to enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is typically transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the United States. However, since IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address is first truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the United States and truncated there.

On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website and internet usage for the website operator. These purposes also represent our legitimate interest in data processing. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is § 15 DDG or Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The data we transmit, and which is linked to cookies, user IDs (e.g., User-ID), or advertising IDs, is automatically deleted after 14 months. Data whose retention period has been reached is automatically deleted once a month.

The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics 4 is not combined with other data from Google. You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser software settings accordingly; however, please note that you may not be able to fully use all features of this website in this case. Furthermore, you can prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

For further information, visit http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en or http://www.google.com/intl/en/analytics/privacyoverview.html (general information on Google Analytics and privacy). Please note that Google Analytics 4 on this website has been supplemented with the code “gat._anonymizeIp();” to ensure anonymized collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking).

This website uses the “demographics” feature of Google Analytics 4. This enables the creation of reports that contain information on the age, gender, and interests of site visitors. These data are derived from interest-based advertising by Google and third-party visitor data. These data cannot be associated with any specific individual. You can disable this feature at any time via the ad settings in your Google account or generally prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics 4 using the browser plugin mentioned above.

2. Google Maps

We use the Google Maps API to visually display geographical information. By using Google Maps, information about your use of this website (including your IP address) may be transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the United States.
Google may transfer information obtained via Maps to third parties if required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google.
Google will not associate your IP address with other Google data. However, it is technically possible that Google could identify individual users based on the data received. It is also possible that Google may process personal data and user profiles for purposes beyond our control.
You can disable Google Maps and thereby prevent data transfer to Google by deactivating JavaScript in your browser.
By using this website and not deactivating the JavaScript function, you explicitly declare, being aware of the data protection concerns, that you agree to the processing of your data by Google in the manner and for the purposes described above.

B. Disclaimer of Liability

We assume no liability for the timeliness, accuracy, completeness, or quality of the information provided. Liability claims against us relating to material or non-material damages caused by the use or non-use of the information provided, or by the use of incorrect or incomplete information, are excluded, provided there is no demonstrable intentional or grossly negligent fault on our part. All offerings are subject to change and non-binding. We explicitly reserve the right to modify, supplement, delete, or temporarily or permanently discontinue publication of parts of the pages or the entire offering without prior notice.

We strive to observe the copyright of all images, graphics, audio files, video sequences, and texts used in all publications, to use images, graphics, audio files, video sequences, and texts we have created ourselves, or to rely on license-free graphics, audio files, video sequences, and texts.
All trademarks and brand names mentioned within the internet offering, including those protected by third parties, are subject without restriction to the provisions of the applicable trademark law and the ownership rights of the respective registered owners. The mere mention does not imply that trademarks are not protected by third-party rights.
The copyright for published objects created by us remains solely with us. Duplication or use of such graphics, audio files, video sequences, and texts in other electronic or printed publications is not permitted without our explicit consent.

III. Legal Validity of this Disclaimer

This disclaimer is to be regarded as part of the internet offering from which this page was referenced. Should parts or individual formulations of this text not, no longer, or not fully comply with the applicable legal situation, the remaining parts of the document shall remain unaffected in their content and validity.

IV. Links to Other Websites

This website contains links to third-party websites (“external links”). These websites are the responsibility of their respective operators. At the time of the initial linking, we reviewed the external content to determine whether there were any legal violations. No legal violations were apparent at that time.
We have no influence on the current and future design or content of the linked pages. The inclusion of external links does not mean that we adopt the content behind the reference or link as our own. Continuous monitoring of external links is not reasonable for us without concrete evidence of legal violations. However, if we become aware of legal violations, such external links will be deleted immediately.

Insofar as our websites contain links to the offerings of other service providers, we cannot guarantee or assume liability that these websites also comply with legal regulations. Please review the respective privacy policies of the providers on their pages to understand the applicable data protection standards.
