Use of Google Maps
On our website we use the function for embedding GoogleMaps maps from Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, "Google").
The function enables the visual representation of geographical information and interactive maps. Google also collects, processes and uses data from visitors to the websites when they access the pages in which Google Maps maps are integrated.
Your data may also be transmitted to the USA. The EU Commission has an adequacy decision for the USA, the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework (TADPF). Google has certified itself according to the TADPF and is therefore obliged to comply with European data protection principles.
The use of cookies or comparable technologies takes place with your consent on the basis of Section 25 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 TTDSG in conjunction with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a GDPR. The processing of your personal data takes place with your consent on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out based on your consent before its revocation.
Further information on how Google collects and uses data can be found in Google's data protection information at https://www.google.com/privacypolicy.html . There you also have the opportunity to change your settings in the data protection center so that you can manage and protect your data processed by Google.


Use of YouTube
We use the function for embedding YouTube videos from Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; "YouTube") on our website. YouTube is a partnership with Google LLC (1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”) affiliated company.
The function displays videos stored on YouTube in an iFrame on the website. The “Extended data protection mode” option is activated. This means that YouTube does not store any information about website visitors. Only when you watch a video is information about it transmitted to YouTube and stored there. Your data may be transferred to the USA. The EU Commission has an adequacy decision for the USA, the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework (TADPF). YouTube has certified itself according to the TADPF and is therefore obliged to comply with European data protection principles.
