Security of our website by using cloudflare (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR)
On our website we use the content delivery network service of Cloudflare Inc. (101 Townsend St San Francisco, CA 94107). From a technical point of view, the connection from your device to our website is being redirected to the cloudflare-network. This enables cloudflare to detect attacks on our website. Anyhow, due to our TLS-encryption, which is always enabled, cloudflare does not have access to data provided by you while using our website. When accessing our website, cloudflare-cookies will be stored in your web browser. Cloudflare collects statistic data regarding your visit on our website. Access-data includes: Name of the website accessed, data, date and time of the access, traffic transmitted, notice of a successful access, browser type including version, user’s operation system, referrer URL (website visited before), IP-address and the requesting provider. Cloudflare uses the protocol-data for statistical analyses for the purposes of operating, securing and optimizing the offer (e.g. to identify multiple malicious accesses in connection with denial of service-attacks (DDoS) or to identify multiple legitimate accesses of multiple devices using the same IP-address). For further information, please read cloudflare‘s privacy-policy, which can be viewed here: https://www.cloudflare.com/de-de/privacypolicy/. We use this service, so secure the availability of our website, to protect ourselves from cyber-attacks and to optimize the loading-time of our website.

Google Maps (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR)
This website uses the map-service Google Maps via an API. Service-provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Google Maps is a commercial service, providing interactive maps for visually displaying geographic information. Using this service provides you with information on our location and simplifies your arrival at our company.
When accessing sub-sites, in which the interactive maps are embedded, information on your user activity on our website (e.g. your IP-address) will be transmitted to and stored on Google’s servers in the USA, regardless of an account provided by Google, that you are currently logged is. If you are logged in, your data will be assigned directly to that account. If you do not want the data to be assigned to your account, you have to log out before clicking the button. Google stores and evaluates your data (even, if you are not logged in). This evaluation is conducted especially due to Google’s legitimate interests in displaying personalized advertisements, market-analyses and / or the need-based design of it’s website. You have the right to object to the creation of such user-profiles, whereby that inquiry has to be directed to Google.
If you want to object to the transmission of your data to Google while using Google Maps in the future, you also have the option to fully deactivate the web-service of Google Maps, by disenabling the JavaScript-application in your web browser. In that case, Google Maps and therefore the display of the map on this website can no longer be used.

Links to other providers
Our website also contains clearly identifiable links to the Internet sites of other companies. Although we provide links to websites of other providers, we have no influence on their content, and no guarantee or liability can therefore be assumed for such. The content of these pages is always the responsibility of the respective provider or operator of the pages.
The linked pages were checked at the time of linking for potential legal violations and identifiable infringements. No illegal content was identified at the time of linking. However, a permanent content control of the linked pages is not reasonable without concrete evidence of an infringement and, upon notification of a violation of rights, such links will be promptly removed.
