5. Integration of Google Maps

This website uses Google Maps API, a map service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, (https://www.google.com/intl/en/about/, hereafter "Google"), to display an interactive map. By using Google Maps, information about your use of this website (including your IP address) may be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

The use of Google Maps is in the interest of an attractive presentation of our online offers and to easier find our locations indicated on the website. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

Google may transfer the information obtained through Google Maps to third parties, if required by law or as far as third parties process this data on behalf of Google.

Google will never associate your IP address with other Google data. Nevertheless, it would be technically possible that Google could make an identification of at least individual users on the basis of the received data. It would be possible that personal information and personality profiles of Google's users could be processed by Google for other purposes that we cannot influence This and the fact that data are transmitted to the US, is problematic for reasons of data protection laws.

You can easily deactivate the service of Google Maps and thus prevent the data transfer to Google: Disable JavaScript in your browser. However, we would like to remind you that in such case you will not be able to use the map services provided.

By using this website and by not deactivating the JavaScript function, you explicitly declare that you consent with the processing of the data collected about you by Google in the manner described above and for the purpose stated above.
