7) Site Functionality
7.1 Google Maps
This website uses an online map service from the following provider: Google Maps (API) from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”).
Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive (country) maps to visually present geographical information. By using this service, our location is displayed to you and any journey is facilitated.
As soon as you access the subpages that integrate the Google Maps map, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to and stored on Google servers. This may also involve a transfer to Google LLC. servers in the USA. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether a user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data is directly associated with your account. If you do not wish for your data to be associated with your Google profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even for non-logged-in users) as usage profiles and evaluates them.
The collection, storage, and evaluation are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR based on Google's legitimate interest in displaying personalized advertising, market research, and/or designing Google websites to meet needs. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and you must contact Google to exercise this right. If you do not agree to the future transmission of your data to Google when using Google Maps, you can also completely deactivate the Google Maps web service by turning off JavaScript in your browser. Google Maps and thus the map display on this website can then no longer be used.
To the extent legally required, we have obtained your consent for the aforementioned processing of your data in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your given consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, please follow the aforementioned possibility of objection.

7.2 Google reCAPTCHA
On this website, we use the CAPTCHA service of the following provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland
Data may also be transmitted to: Google LLC, USA. For the visual design of the Captcha window, the provider uses "Google Fonts," i.e., fonts loaded from the internet by Google. No further information beyond that already transferred to Google via the reCAPTCHA functionality is processed in this context.
The service checks whether an entry is made by a natural person or abusively by machine and automated processing, and blocks spam, DDoS attacks, and similar automated malicious access. To ensure that an action is performed by a human and not by an automated bot, the provider collects the IP address of the device used, identification data of the browser and operating system type used, as well as the date and duration of the visit, and transmits these to the provider's servers for evaluation.
The legal basis is our legitimate interest in establishing individual accountability on the Internet and preventing abuse and spam in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
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.
For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with the European data protection level based on an adequacy decision by the European Commission.

You can revoke your consent at any time by sending a message to the data controller or to Google.
