Legal
Privacy policy
1. Introduction
We would like to use the information below to provide you “data subject” with an overview of our
processing of your personal data and your rights under data protection law. It is generally possible to
use our website without entering personal data. However, if you wish to make use of special services
offered by our company through our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. If it is
necessary to process personal data and there is no legal basis for such processing, we will generally
obtain your consent.
Personal data, such as your name, address or email address, is always processed in accordance with
the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in accordance with the country-specific data
protection regulations applicable to the “Hammann GmbH”. The aim of this Privacy Notice is to inform
you about the scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process.
As the data controller, we have implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to
ensure the most complete possible protection of the personal data processed via this website.
Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can in principle have security gaps so that absolute
protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, you are free to submit personal data on alternative
ways, such as by phone or by post to us.
2. Data controller
The data controller, as defined by the GDPR, is:
Hammann Engineering GmbH, Albert-Einstein-Strasse 14a, 76829 Landau in der Pfalz, Germany
Phone: +49 6341 38084-0, E-mail: info@comprex.de
Data controller’s representative: Hans-Gerd Hammann, Vincent Hammann
3. Definitions
This Privacy Notice is based on the terminology used by the European legislature and legislature in the
adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy should be easy to read
and understand, both for the public and for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we
would like to explain in advance the terminology used. Among other things, we use the following terms
in this privacy policy.
We use the following terms in this Privacy Notice, among others:
(1) Personal data
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. An
identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to
an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or
more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity
of that natural person.
(2) Data subject
A Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the
controller (our company).
(3) Processing
Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed upon personal data, whether or not
by automatic means, such as collection, recording, organisation, filing, storage, adaptation or alteration,
retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available,
alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
(4) Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their future
processing.
(5) Profiling
Profiling is any form of automated processing of personal data which consists in using such personal
data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict
aspects relating to that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal
preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or change of location.
(6) Pseudonymisation
Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer
be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such
additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures which
ensure that the personal data cannot be attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
(7) Data processor
Data processor means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes
personal data on behalf of the controller.
(8) Recipient
A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body to whom personal data
are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities that may receive personal data in
the context of a specific investigative task under Union or Member State law shall not be considered as
recipients.
(9) Third party
Third party means any natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data
subject, the controller, the processor and the persons who, under the direct responsibility of the
controller or the processor, are authorised to process the personal data.
(10) Consent
Consent means any freely given specific and informed indication of the data subject’s wishes in the form
of a statement or other unambiguous affirmative act by which the data subject signifies his or her
agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.
4. Legal basis for processing
Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR (icw § 25 (1) Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG)
(formerly TTDSG)) serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations where we obtain
consent for a specific processing purpose.
If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a
party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of
goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b)
GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of precontractual
measures, for example in the case of enquiries about our products or services.
If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which the processing of personal data becomes
necessary, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. c) GDPR.
In rare cases, the processing of personal data might become necessary to protect vital interests of the
data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were to be
injured on our premises and as a result their name, age, health insurance data or other vital information
had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. In this case, the processing would be
based on Art. 6 (1) lit. d) GDPR.
Finally, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. Processing operations which are
not covered by any of the afore mentioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is
necessary for the protection of a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the
interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not overweigh. We are permitted to
carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the
European law. In this respect, the legislature took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if
you are a customer of our company (Recital 47, Sentence 2 GDPR).
Our offer is inherently aimed at adults. Persons under 16 years of age may not transmit any personal
data to us without the consent of their parents or legal guardians. We do not request personal data from
children and adolescents, do not collect it and do not pass it on to third parties.
5. Disclosure of data to third parties
Your personal data will not be conveyed to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.
We will only share/convey your personal data with third parties if:
(1) you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR,
(2) the disclosure is permissible in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR to protect our legitimate
interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in
the non-disclosure of your data,
(3) in the event that a legal obligation exists for the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. c) GDPR, as well
as
(4) this is legally permissible and necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you in
accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.
In the context of the processing operations described in this privacy statement, personal data may be
transferred to the USA. Companies in the USA only have an adequate level of data protection if they
have certified themselves under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and thus the adequacy decision of
the EU Commission pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR applies. We have explicitly mentioned this in the privacy
policy for the service providers concerned. In order to protect your data in all other cases, we have
concluded commissioned processing agreements based on the standard contractual clauses of the
European Commission. If the standard contractual clauses are not sufficient to establish an adequate
level of security, your consent can serve as the legal basis for the transfer to third countries in
accordance with Article 49 (1) a) of the GDPR. This sometimes does not apply in the case of a data
transfer to third countries for which the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision
pursuant to Art. 45 of the GDPR.
6. Technology
6.1 SSL/TLS-encryption
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption to guarantee the security of data processing and to protect the
transmission of confidential content, such as orders, login data or contact enquiries that you send to us
as the operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar of the
browser contains a “https://” instead of a “http://” and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.
We use this technology to protect your transmitted data.
6.2 Data collection when visiting the website
If you only use our website for informational purposes, if you do not register or otherwise provide us with
information or do not give your consent to processing that requires consent, we only collect data that is
technically necessary for the provision of the service. This is regularly data that your browser transmits
to our server (in so-called “server log files”). Our website collects a series of general data and
information each time you or an automated system accesses a page. This general data and information
is stored in the server log files. The following can be recorded:
(1) browser types and versions used,
(2) the operating system used by the accessing system,
(3) the website from which an accessing system accesses our website (so-called referrer),
(4) the sub-pages accessed via an accessing system on our website,
(5) the date and time of access to the website,
(6) an abbreviated internet protocol address (anonymised IP address) and,
(7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system.
When using this general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about your person. This
information is rather required to:
(1) deliver the contents of our website correctly,
(2) optimise the contents of our website as well as to advertise it,
(3) ensure the permanent operability of our IT systems and the technology of our website, and
(4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary to prosecute in the event of a
cyber-attack.
This collected data and information is therefore statistically analysed and further analysed by us with the
aim of increasing data protection and data security within our company to ultimately ensure an optimum
level of protection for the personal data being processed by us. The anonymous data from the server log
files is stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the
purposes for data collection listed above.
6.3 Hosting by All-Inkl
We host our website at ALL-INKL.COM – Neue Medien Münnich, Inh. René Münnich, Hauptstraße 68,
02742 Friedersdorf (All-Inkl)..
When visiting our website, your personal data (e.g. IP addresses in log files) are processed on the
servers of All-Inkl.
The use of All Inkl is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the high-performance
provision of our website.
We have concluded a corresponding agreement with All Inkl on the basis of GDPR for commissioned
processing. This is a contract required by data protection law, which ensures that All-Inkl only processes
the personal data of our website visitors according to our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.
Additional information and All Inkl`s privacy policy can be found at: https://allinkl.

7. Cookies
7.1 General information about cookies
We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small files that are automatically created by your browser
and stored on your IT system (laptop, tablet, smartphone or similar) when you visit our website.
Information generated from the specific device used is stored in cookies. This does not mean, however,
that we will gain immediate knowledge of your identity.
The use of cookies helps us make it more convenient for you to use our website. For example, we use
session cookies to detect whether you have already visited individual pages on our website. These are
erased automatically when you leave our website.
In addition, we also use temporary cookies to optimise user-friendliness, which are stored on your end
device for a specific period of time. If you visit our site again to use our services, it is automatically
recognised that you have already been with us and which entries and settings you have made so that
you do not have to enter them again.
We also use cookies to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate our offer for you for the
purpose of optimisation. These cookies enable us to automatically recognise that you have already
visited our website when you visit it again. The cookies set in this way are automatically deleted after a
defined period of time. The respective storage period of the cookies can be found in the settings of the
consent tool used.
7.2 Legal basis for the use of cookies
The data processed by the cookies, which are required for the proper functioning of the website, are
thus necessary to protect our legitimate interests as well as those of third parties in accordance with Art.
6 (1) lit. f) GDPR.
For all other cookies, the following applies: You have given your consent to this within the meaning of
Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR via our opt-in cookie banner.
7.3 Complianz GDPR/CCPA (Consent Management Tool)
We use the Consent Management Tool “Complianz GDPR/CCPA Cookie Consent” (Complianz) of
Complianz B.V., Kalmarweg 14-5, 9723 JG Groningen, Netherlands. This service allows us to obtain
and manage the consent of website users for data processing.
Complianz uses cookies to collect data generated by end users who use our website. When an end user
provides consent, Complianz automatically logs the following data: browser information, date and time of
access, device information, the URL oft he visited website, banner language, Consent ID, The consent
status of the end user, which serves as proof of consent.
The consent status is also stored in the end user’s browser so that the website can automatically read
and follow the end user’s consent in all subsequent page requests and future end user sessions for up
to 12 months. Consent data (consent and withdrawal of consent) is stored for three years. The retention
period corresponds to the regular limitation period according to § 195 of the German Civil Code
(Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch [BGB]). The data is then deleted immediately.
The functionality of the website is not guaranteed without the described processing. There is no
possibility for the user to object as long as there is a legal obligation to obtain the user’s consent to
certain data processing operations (Art. 7 (1), 6 (1) lit. c) GDPR).
Complianz is a recipient of your personal data and acts as a processor for us. Data processing takes
place exclusively in the European Union.
Additional information on the service can be found at the following link: https://complianz.io/legal/.
8. Contents of our website
8.1 Contact support / Contact form
Personal data is collected when contacting us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail). Which data is collected in
the case of the use of a contact form can be seen from the respective contact form. This data is stored
and used exclusively for the purpose of answering your request or for contacting you and the associated
technical administration. The legal basis for processing the data is our legitimate interest in responding
to your request in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. If your contact is aimed at concluding a
contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR. Your data will be deleted after
final processing of your request; this is the case if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the
matter concerned has been conclusively clarified and the deletion does not conflict with any legal
obligations to retain data.
8.2 Application Management / job exchange
We collect and process the personal data of applicants for the purpose of processing the application
procedure. The processing may also take place electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant
submits the relevant application documents to us electronically, for example by e-mail or via a web form
on the website. If we conclude an employment or service contract with an applicant, the transmitted data
will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory
provisions. If we do not conclude a contract with the applicant, the application documents are
automatically deleted six months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other
legitimate interests on our part oppose deletion. Another legitimate interest in this sense is, for example,
a duty to provide evidence in proceedings under the German Equal Treatment Act (Allgemeines
Gleichbehandlungsgesetz [AGG]).
The legal basis for processing your data is Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR, Art. 88 GDPR icw § 26 (1) German
Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz [BDSG]).
9. Newsletters
9.1 Newsletter for regular customers (without registration)
If you have provided us with your email address when purchasing goods or services, we may
periodically email you offers for similar goods or services to those you have already purchased from our
range. In accordance with § 7 (3) of the German Unfair Competition Act (Gesetz gegen den unlauteren
Wettbewerb, UWG), we do not need to obtain your separate consent for this. In this respect, the data
processing is carried out solely on the basis of our legitimate interest in personalized direct advertising in
accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. If you have initially objected to the use of your e-mail address for
this purpose, no e-mails will be sent by us. You are entitled to object to the use of your e-mail address
for the afore mentioned advertising purpose at any time with effect for the future by notifying the
responsible person named at the beginning. For this, you will only incur transmission costs according to
the prime rates. Upon receipt of your objection, the use of your e-mail address for advertising purposes
will cease immediately.
9.2 Marketing newsletter (double opt-in)
On our website you are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company newsletter. What personal
data is transmitted to us when ordering the newsletter, is determined by the input mask used for this
purpose.
We use our newsletter to regularly communicate our offers to our customers and business partners. You
can, therefore, only receive our company’s newsletter if
(1) You have a valid e-mail address and
(2) You have registered for newsletter delivery.
For legal reasons, a confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address that you entered for the first
time for the newsletter dispatch using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail is used to
verify that you, as the owner of the e-mail address, have authorized the receipt of the newsletter.
When you register for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by your Internet service
provider (ISP) of the IT system used by you at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of
registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of
your e-mail address at a later date and therefore serves our legal protection.
The personal data collected in the context of a registration for the newsletter will be used exclusively for
sending our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter could be informed by e-mail if this is
necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a related registration, as could be the case in the
event of changes to the newsletter offer or changes in technical circumstances. No personal data
collected as part of the newsletter service will be passed on to third parties. The subscription to our
newsletter can be cancelled by you at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that you
have given us for the newsletter dispatch can be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revoking the
consent, you will find a corresponding link in each newsletter. Furthermore, it is also possible to
unsubscribe from the newsletter mailing directly on our website at any time or to inform us of this in
another way.
The legal basis for data processing for the purpose of sending newsletters is Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR.
9.3 CleverReach
This website uses CleverReach to send newsletters. The provider is CleverReach GmbH & Co. KG,
(CRASH Building), Schafjückenweg 2, 26180 Rastede. CleverReach is a service with which the
newsletter dispatch can be organized and analyzed. The data you enter for the purpose of receiving the
newsletter (e.g. the e-mail address) is stored on the servers of CleverReach in Germany or Ireland.
Our newsletters sent with CleverReach allow us to analyze the behavior of newsletter recipients. Here,
among other things, it can be analyzed how many recipients have opened the newsletter message and
how often which link in the newsletter was clicked. With the help of so-called conversion tracking, it can
also be analyzed whether a predefined action (e.g. the purchase of a product on our website) has taken
place after clicking on the link in the newsletter. For more information on data analysis by CleverReach
newsletter, please visit: https://www.cleverreach.com/de/funktionen/reporting-und-tracking/.
The data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR). You can revoke this consent at
any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations already
carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.
If you do not want any analysis by CleverReach, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this
purpose, we provide a corresponding link in each newsletter message. Furthermore, you can also
unsubscribe directly on the website.
You can revoke the consent you have given at any time. You can also prevent the processing at any
time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. You can also prevent the storage of cookies by setting your
web browser accordingly. You can also prevent the storage and transmission of personal data by
disabling JavaScript in your web browser or installing a JavaScript blocker (e.g. https://noscript.net or
https://www.ghostery.com). We would like to point out that these measures may mean that not all
functions of our website are available.
The data you provide for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us until you
unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from our servers as well as from the servers of
CleverReach after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data that has been stored by us for other
purposes (e.g. e-mail addresses for the member area) remains unaffected by this.
You can view CleverReach’s privacy policy at: https://www.cleverreach.com/de/datenschutz/.
9.4 Newslettertracking
Our newsletters contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is
embedded in such e-mails that are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis.
This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. By means of
the embedded tracking pixel, the company can see if and when an e-mail was opened by you and
which, in the e-mail located links were called by you.
Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and
evaluated by us in order to optimize the newsletter dispatch and to better adapt the content of future
newsletters to your interests. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Data subjects are
entitled at any time to revoke the separate declaration of consent given in this regard via the double optin
procedure. After a revocation, this personal data will be deleted by us. We automatically interpret a
withdrawal from the receipt of the newsletter as a revocation.
Such an evaluation is carried out in particular in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR on the basis of
our legitimate interests in the insertion of personalized advertising, market research and/or needs-based
design of our website.
10. Our activities in social networks
To allow us to communicate with you on social networks and inform you about our services, we run our
own pages on these social networks. If you visit one of our social media pages, we and the provider of
the social media network are joint controllers (Art. 26 GDPR) regarding to the processing operations
triggered thereby, which concern personal data.
We are not the original provider of these pages, but only use them within the scope of the options
offered to us by the respective providers
We would therefore like to point out as a precautionary measure that your data may also be processed
outside of the European Union or the European Economic Area. Use of these networks may therefore
involve data protection risks for you since the protection of your rights may be difficult, e.g. your rights to
information, erasure, objection, etc. Processing on social networks frequently takes place directly for
advertising purposes or for the analysis of user behaviour by network providers, and we have no control
over this. If the provider creates user profiles, cookies are often used or user behaviour may be
assigned directly to your own member profile on the respective social network (if you are logged in).
The processing operations of personal data described are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f)
GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interests and the legitimate interests of the respective provider in
order to communicate with you in a timely manner or to inform you about our services. If you have to
grant your consent to the respective providers to process your data as a user, the legal basis for this
processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 7 GDPR.
Since we have no access to these providers? databases, we would like to point out that you would be
best placed to exercise your rights (e.g. to information, rectification, erasure, etc.) directly with the
respective provider. More information on the processing of your data on social networks and your
options for exercising your right to object or your right of revocation (opt out) is listed below for each of
the social network providers we use:

11.4 Google Analytics 4 (GA4) – Additional information on Google Signals
Google Signals is a feature in Google Analytics that collects session data from websites and apps where
users are logged in with their Google Account and have enabled personalised advertising. It enables
advanced analysis by linking user behaviour across different devices and providing additional
information such as demographic characteristics and interests. Your consent to the use of Google
Analytics (see above) also includes consent to the Google Signals add-on function.
11.5 Google Analytics 4 (GA4) – Additional information on Consent Mode, basic implementation
Under the Digital Markets Act, Google is obliged to obtain user consent before processing user data for
personalised advertising. Google fulfils this requirement with the “Consent Mode”. Users are obliged to
implement this and thus prove that they have obtained the consent of website visitors.
Google offers two implementation modes, the basic and the advanced implementation.
We use the basic implementation method of Google Consent Mode. Only if you give your consent to the
use of Google Analytics (see above) will a connection to Google be established, a Google code
executed and the processing described above carried out. If you refuse consent, Google will only
receive information that consent has not been given. The Google code is not executed and no Google
Analytics cookies are set.
11.6 Google Analytics 4 (GA4) – Additional information on Consent Mode, extended
implementation
Under the Digital Markets Act, Google is obliged to obtain user consent before processing user data for
personalised advertising. Google fulfils this requirement with the “Consent Mode”. Users are obliged to
implement this and thus prove that they have obtained the consent of website visitors.
Google offers two implementation modes, the basic and the advanced implementation.
We use the extended implementation method of Google Consent Mode. If you consent to data
processing in connection with the use of GA4 (see above), a connection to Google is established,
Google Analytics cookies are set and the corresponding processing is carried out. If you refuse consent,
no Google Analytics cookies will be set. However, a unique “ping ID” will be generated and transmitted
to Google. The Google code is executed, whereby only limited user data is transmitted to Google,
including information such as: IP address, Browser details, Visited URL.
A personalised user ID is not assigned.
If you have consented to the execution of Google Analytics 4, Consent Mode, extended implementation,
the legal basis for the processing of personal data is Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. In addition, it is in our
legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR to use Google Analytics 4, Consent Mode,
extended implementation, in order to obtain data on conversions without creating user profiles and thus
increase profitability.

12.2 Google Ads with Conversion-Tracking
We have integrated Google Ads on this website. The operating company of the Google Ads services is
Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Ads is an Internet
advertising service that allows advertisers to place ads both in Google’s search engine results and in the
Google advertising network. Google Ads allows an advertiser to specify certain keywords in advance, by
means of which an ad is displayed in Google’s search engine results exclusively when the user retrieves
a keyword-relevant search result using the search engine. In the Google advertising network, the ads
are distributed on topic-relevant websites by means of an automatic algorithm and in compliance with
the previously defined keywords.
The purpose of Google Ads is to promote our website by displaying interest-relevant advertisements ads
on the websites of third-party companies and in the search engine results of the Google search engine
and a display of third-party advertisements on our website.
If you access our website via a Google ad, a so-called conversion cookie is stored on your IT system by
Google. A conversion cookie loses its validity after thirty days and is not used to identify you. If the
cookie has not yet expired, the conversion cookie is used to track whether certain sub-pages, for
example the shopping cart of an online store system, have been called up on our website. Through the
conversion cookie, both we and Google can track whether a user has reached our website via an
AdWords ad, generated a turnover, i.e. completed or cancelled a purchase of goods.
The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie are used by Google to
create visit statistics for our website. These visit statistics are in turn used by us to determine the total
number of users who were referred to us via ads, i.e. to determine the success or failure of the
respective Ads ad and to optimize our Ads ads for the future. Neither our company nor other advertisers
of Google Ads receive information from Google by means of which you could be identified.
By means of the conversion cookie, personal information, for example the Internet pages visited by you,
is stored. Each time you visit our website, personal data, including the IP address of the internet
connection you use, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is
stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on these personal data collected
via the technical procedure to third parties.
These processing operations are carried out exclusively when explicit consent is given in accordance
with Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR.
The parent company Google LLC is certified as a US company under the EU-US Data Privacy
Framework. There is hereby an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR, so that a transfer of
personal data may also take place without further guarantees or additional measures.

Through this, Google obtains knowledge that our website was accessed via your IP address. This
occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or
whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly assigned to
your account. If you do not want the assignment with your profile at Google, you must log out of your
Google user account. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles
and evaluates them. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and to exercise
this right you must contact Google as follows.
If you do not agree to the future transmission of your data to Google in the context of the use of Google
Maps, you also have the option of completely disabling the Google Maps web service by turning off the
JavaScript application in your browser. Google Maps and thus also the map display on this website can
