j) Analysis/Marketing
(1) Google services
Our website uses various services provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as “Google”). As part of this, there is the potential for data to be transferred to Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 in the USA. It is not possible to guarantee that an appropriate level of data security will be maintained in the USA.
(2) Google Analytics
Our website uses the tracking tool Google Analytics in order to analyse your use of the website. This makes it possible to compile reports about activity on our web presence, provide further services associated with use of the website, and improve user-friendliness as a result.
The use of Google Analytics primarily involves using cookies to collect data about and systematically evaluate interactions by users of our website.
You can find details of the cookies we use in our cookie settings. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by clicking on the appropriate icon at the bottom left-hand corner of the website.
We use Google Analytics with the “anonymizeIp()” extension. This truncates IP addresses within member states of the EU or EEA. If data is transferred to Google servers in the USA, the complete IP address is only transferred and truncated there in exceptional cases. In most cases, this prevents the possibility of the data being used to directly identify an individual person. In particular, it makes it impossible to link the data to the computer or other device that the visitor to the website used.
Google Analytics processes the following data:
- • Three bytes from the IP address of the system used by the website visitor (anonymised IP address)
- The website visited
- The website from which users access our website (referrer)
- The individual pages visited on our website
- The duration for which users remain on the website
- The frequency with which the website is visited
Google has itself stated that it will never unite your IP address with other Google data.
The legal basis for this data processing is your prior consent in accordance with Article 6(1) a) of the GDPR.
(3) Withdrawing your consent
You can withdraw your consent with effect for the future at any time. To do this, you can use the options in our cookie settings. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by clicking on the appropriate icon at the bottom left-hand corner of the website. You can also amend these settings at http://www.google.com/ads/preferences.
Please also note the supplementary information about Google’s use of data in the Google Partner Network, which is available here: http://www.google.com/intl/en-gb/policies/privacy/partners/
k) External content
We use dynamic content (hereinafter referred to as “content”) from third parties to optimise the appearance and content of our website. When you visit our website, a request is sent automatically to the corresponding content provider’s server via an interface. Certain log data (e.g. the user’s IP address) is transferred in this request. The dynamic content is then transferred to our website, where it is displayed.
We use external content in conjunction with the following functionalities:
(1) Integration of YouTube videos
We have integrated videos from the YouTube portal operated by YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA (hereinafter referred to as “YouTube”) into our website. When videos are played back, log data is transferred to YouTube’s servers in the USA. It is not possible to guarantee that an appropriate level of data security will be maintained in the USA.
The legal basis for this data processing is our overriding legitimate interest in optimising the marketing of our web presence in accordance with Article 6(1) f) of the GDPR.
More information is available at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-gb&gl=en-gb
(2) Google Maps
Our website uses Google’s map service Google Maps to provide you with an interactive map. When the map is displayed, data including your IP address and location is transferred to Google’s servers in the USA and stored there. This data is processed on the basis of our overriding legitimate interest in optimising the marketing of our offer in accordance with Article 6(1) f) of the GDPR.
There is the possibility of data being transferred to Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. It is not possible to guarantee that an appropriate level of data security will be maintained in the USA.

(3) reCAPTCHA
We use the external service reCAPTCHA to protect the forms on our website against spam and abuse. This is a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as “Google”). reCAPTCHA makes it possible to distinguish between input made by humans and fraudulent input made by automated software (also known as bots).
It processes the following data from you: the referrer URL, user’s IP address, user’s input actions, mouse movements around the reCAPTCHA checkboxes, detection and association with a Google account if the user is logged into this at the same time, information about the browser being used, browser size, browser resolution, browser plugins, language settings, date, scripts, and display instructions from the website.
This data is processed on the basis of our overriding legitimate interest in maintaining the security of our website in accordance with Article 6(1) f) of the GDPR.
5. Data retention duration
We retain personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it is being processed or until you withdraw your consent. Insofar as statutory retention requirements need to be complied with, the retention period for certain data can be up to 10 years, regardless of the purposes for which the data is being processed.
