Use of Adobe Fonts Typekit web font types

We use Adobe Fonts Typekit web font types for the visual design of our website. Adobe Fonts is a service of the Adobe Systems Software Ireland Companies (4-6 Riverwalk, Citywest Business Campus, Dublin 24, Republic of Ireland; hereinafter referred to as “Adobe”), which grants us access to a font library.

To integrate the font we use, your browser must establish a connection to an Adobe server in the USA and download the font required for our website. This will inform Adobe that our website was accessed from your IP address.

For more information on Adobe Fonts, please refer to the data protection instructions of Adobe Fonts, which can be found at: https://www.adobe.com/uk/privacy/policies/adobe-fonts.html

If your browser does not support Web Fonts or if you do not give your consent, a standard font will be used by your computer.

Revocation of consent:

At present, the provider does not offer any option for a simple opt-out or the blocking of data transmission. If you wish to prevent tracking of your activities on our website, please use the cookie consent tool to revoke your consent for the respective cookie category or for all cookies and data transmissions that are not technically necessary. In this case, however, you may not be able to use our website or use it to a limited extent only.

Use of Google Maps

On this website we use Google Maps. Google Maps is operated by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (hereinafter referred to as “Google”). This allows us to display interactive maps directly on the website and enables you to use the map function in a comfortable way.

For further information on data processing by Google, please refer to the Google Data Protection Instructions: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en. There, you can also change your personal data protection settings in the Data Protection Centre.

For detailed instructions on how to manage your own data in connection with Google products, see: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/3024190.

When you visit the website, Google receives information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. This is done regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether there is no user account. When you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account.

If you do not wish such assignment to your Google profile, you must log out of Google before activating the button. Google will store your data as user profiles and use them for advertising, market research and/or the requirement-oriented design of its websites. Such an evaluation will be conducted in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide requirement-oriented advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles; for exercising this right, you will have to contact Google.

Revocation of consent:

At present, the provider does not offer any option for a simple opt-out or the blocking of data transmission. If you wish to prevent tracking of your activities on our website, please use the cookie consent tool to revoke your consent for the respective cookie category or for all cookies and data transmissions that are not technically necessary. In this case, however, you may not be able to use our website or use it to a limited extent only.

SSL encryption

To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption methods (e.g. SSL) via HTTPS.

Individual right of objection

You have the right, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to file objections, at any time, against any processing of your personal data based on Art. 6 para. 1 (f) of GDPR (data processing on the basis of balancing of interests); this also applies to profiling based on this provision according to Art. 4 no. 4 GDPR.

If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can prove compelling legitimate reasons for the processing that prevail over your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
