THIRD PARTY SERVICES
I use third-party services for my website, such as templates, plugins or application programming interfaces (so-called APIs) to guarantee and expand the range of functions of my website. In doing so, data may be transmitted to the service provider, which I would like to introduce to you later.
I USE THE FOLLOWING SPECIFIED SERVICES
Google services
My website uses products or services from Google LLC (“Google”), located at 1600 Amphitheater Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
The company Google fulfills the requirements of the “EU Privacy Shield”.
What is the Privacy Shield Agreement? The Privacy Shield Agreement regulates the protection of personal data (in this case your data) that is transferred from a member state of the European Union (e.g. Germany) to the United States of America (USA). The agreement thus ensures that the data transferred there is subject to a level of data protection that corresponds to that of the European Union.
The list of certified companies can be found at the following link: https://www.privacyshield.gov/list. You can find more information on handling user data in Google’s data protection declaration itself: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
Google reCAPTCHA
My website uses the abuse protection “Google reCAPTCHA” to be visited only by people and not by automated processing. The reCAPTCHA service helps me to prevent cyberattacks through “bots” by checking whether the user is a real person using an input field. As a user, you may be familiar with the different images, where you have to assign which elements a car or a street sign represent. This service enables me to use the website in a stable manner and protect it from misuse.
For this purpose, the data entered is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and processed for verification. As a rule, this request transfers the following information and stores it there for several months: the website you visit, your entry in the input field and the IP address of your device.
The legal basis for the processing of your data in relation to the “Google reCAPTCHA” service is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 Letter f) GDPR (legitimate interest in data processing). The legitimate interest arises from my need to offer the customer effective protection of my online offer against cyberattacks and spam protection and to be able to operate the service stably.
Google Maps
In my website I use the external map service “Google Maps” to enable you to view my location as well as a route description. The interactive map shows you the location of my location and how you can reach me. By using the service, map material is loaded from an external Google server (located in the USA).
As a rule, this request means that the websites visited and the IP address of your device are transferred to a Google server in the USA.
If you as a user do not agree to this processing, there is the option of preventing the installation of cookies using the browser settings. You can find more information on this under the “Cookies” section, which also shows how you can completely prevent cookies.
The legal basis for the processing of your data in relation to the “Google Maps” service lies in Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 Letter f) GDPR (legitimate interest in data processing). The legitimate interest arises from my need for an appealing presentation of our online offer and the easy location of the places specified on my website.
Google Web Fonts
To display the font on the website, I use external fonts in the form of “Google Fonts”. This service enables me to present my website consistently and attractively even with very differently configured user devices. This is done by loading the fonts from an external server instead of the user’s device.
The required fonts are requested directly from a Google server (usually located in the USA). By requesting the fonts, the websites visited and the IP address of your device are transmitted to the server and stored there.
The legal basis for the processing of your data in relation to the “Google Fonts” service is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 Letter f) GDPR (legitimate interest in data processing). The legitimate interest of this use results from the need for an appealing and uniform presentation of my online offer, as is the legitimate interest of Google for the collection of personal data.

If you have any questions about data protection or have found an error, please feel free to contact me at any time. The protection of your data is important to me and forms the basis for a trusting cooperation.
