We use https to securely transmit data over the Internet.

You can help protect sensitive data by using the Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption protocol, which is used to transmit data over the secure Internet.

You can recognize the use of this data protection by a small padlock symbol in the upper left corner of the browser and by using the https scheme (instead of http) as part of the web address.

8. Newsletter Privacy Policy

If you subscribe to our newsletter, your personal information will be saved and processed, and by subscribing, you give us the right to contact you by email.

The data stored during the registration for the newsletter will only be used for our newsletter and will not be passed on.

If you unsubscribe from the newsletter (you will find a link to it at the bottom of each newsletter), we will move all the data you saved when you signed up for the newsletter to the database that does not request the newsletter.

This is necessary so that we do not accidentally send a newsletter to that e-mail address.

You can request the complete deletion of the data by e-mail.

9. MailChimp Privacy Policy

We send newsletters with MailChimp and use the features of the MailChimp newsletter service to record newsletter registrations. We only store E-mail addresses in this database.

General information about MailChimp:

MailChimp maintains online platforms that allow our users to stay in touch with their subscribers, primarily via email.

They allow users to enter email addresses and other information about the subscriber profile, such as: The name, physical address, and other demographic information to upload to the MailChimp database.

This information is used by these users to send e-mails and to allow the use of certain other MailChimp features.

In accordance with the published privacy policy, MailChimp shares certain information with third parties in order to provide and support the services that MailChimp offers to users.

MailChimp also shares certain information with third-party advertising partners to better understand users' needs and interests so that they can serve more relevant content and more targeted ads to those users and other users.

10. Google Fonts Local Privacy Policy

We use Google fonts on our website. We store google fonts locally, that is, on our web server, not on Google's server.

As a result, there is no connection to the Google server, so there is no data transfer or storage.

11. Google Fonts Privacy Policy

We use Google fonts on our website.

You do not need to sign in or save your password to use Google fonts. In addition, no cookies are stored in your browser.

Files (CSS, fonts) are requested from the fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com Google domains.

Google says requests for CSS and fonts are completely separate from all other Google services.

If you have a Google Account, you don't have to worry about your Google Account information being passed to Google while you're using Google Fonts.

Google records the use of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and fonts used and stores this information securely.

When you visit our website, you download fonts from a Google server. This external call forwards data to Google's server. In this way, Google also recognizes that you or your IP address is visiting our website.

The Google Fonts API has been developed to reduce the collection, storage, and use of end-user data to the level required to make fonts effectively available.

Google Fonts stores CSS and font requests securely with Google and is therefore protected. Google can determine the popularity of fonts based on the usage data we collect.

Google publishes the results on internal analytics sites, such as Google Analytics. Google also uses information from its own web crawler to determine which websites use Google fonts. This data is published in the Google Fonts BigQuery database.

It should be noted, however, that information such as IP address, language settings, browser screen resolution, browser version, and browser name are automatically transmitted to Google's server with each Google Font request. It is not clear whether or not this data is saved by Google.

Google stores requests for CSS tools on its servers for one day, which are mainly located outside the EU. This allows us to use fonts using a Google stylesheet. A style sheet is a format template that allows you to quickly and easily e.g. you can change the design or font of the website.

Font files are saved by Google for one year. Google's goal is to fundamentally improve the load time of web pages. If millions of sites link to the same font, they will be cached after the first visit and will appear immediately on all sites visited later. Sometimes Google updates fonts to reduce file size, increase speech coverage, and improve design.

Data stored by Google for one day or one year cannot be simply deleted. The data is automatically transmitted to Google when you access the page. To clear this information prematurely, please contact Google Customer Service. In this case, you will only prevent data storage if you do not visit our website.

Unlike other web fonts, Google gives us unlimited access to all fonts. Therefore, we can get unlimited access to the font database and thus get the most out of our website.

You can also find out in Google's privacy policy what data is generally recorded by Google and what that data is used for.

For more information on terms of use and privacy, visit the analytics page on the Google website.

Using the browser plug-in for deactivation: Google Analytics JavaScript, site visitors can prevent Google Analytics data from being backed up.

By downloading and installing this browser extension, you can prevent Google from collecting and processing information about your use of the cookie and your use of the website.

12. Google Analytics deactivation link

Entering the following deactivation link into your browser may prevent Google from recording additional visits to this site. Attention: Deleting cookies, using the browser's incognito / private mode or using another browser will lead to the re-collection of data. Deactivating Google Analytics "javascript: gaoop_analytics_optout ();"

13. Google Analytics IP Anonymization

On this site, we have anonymized the IP addresses sent to Google Analytics. This feature has been developed by Google to ensure that this website complies with the applicable privacy policies.

The IP is anonymized or masked as soon as the IP addresses arrive in the Google Analytics data collection network and before the data is stored or processed.

14. Google Analytics report on demographics and interests

We've turned on ad reporting in Google Analytics. Demographic and interest reports include age, gender, and interest. This allows us to get a better picture of our users - without having to assign this data to individuals.

Google Account Activity and Details can be found in the "Advertising Preferences" section.

15. Google Maps Privacy Policy

We use Google Maps on our website.

Using map features, the data will be transferred to Google. You can find out on Google's website what data is recorded by Google and what that data is used for.

16. Google reCAPTCHA Privacy Policy

Our primary goal is to ensure that our website is as secure as possible for you and us. To ensure this, we use the Google reCAPTCHA.

With reCAPTCHA we can determine if you are a real human and not a robot or other spam software. Spam is defined as any unsolicited information that arrives to us electronically.

Using the classic CAPTCHAS, he mostly had to solve textual or visual puzzles for verification. By using the reCAPTCHA provided by Google, we don't usually have to bother you with such puzzles. In most cases, simply check the box and confirm that you are not a robot.

With the new invisible version of reCAPTCHA, you no longer have to check the box. You can find out exactly how this works and, above all, what data you use in your privacy statement.

The right to use is permitted by the Data Protection Act (lawfulness of processing) as there is a legitimate interest in protecting the site from bots and spam software.

ReCAPTCHA collects personal information from users to determine whether the actions we take on our website are indeed from others. So the IP address and other data that Google needs for the reCAPTCHA service can be sent to Google.

In EU member states or signatories to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, IP addresses are almost always shortened in advance before the data is sent to a server in the United States. The IP address will only be associated with other Google data if you are signed in to your Google Account while using reCAPTCHA.

First, the reCAPTCHA algorithm checks to see if Google cookies from other Google services (YouTube, Gmail, etc.) have already been placed in your browser. ReCAPTCHA then sets an additional cookie in your browser and takes a snapshot of the browser window.

The list of browser and user data below is an example of data that we know will be processed by Google:

• Referring URL (the address of the page the visitor is coming from)

• IP address (e.g. 256.123.123.1)

• Operating system information (software that allows your computer to run. Known operating systems are Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux)

• Cookies (small text files that store data in your browser)

• Mouse and keyboard behavior (all mouse or keyboard actions are saved)

• Date and language settings (which language or date you save to your computer in advance)

• All Javascript objects (JavaScript is a programming language that allows websites to adapt to the user. JavaScript objects can collect all possible data under one name)

• Screen resolution (shows how many pixels the image consists of)

It is undisputed that Google uses and analyzes this data before clicking the "I'm not a robot" checkbox. With the Invisible reCAPTCHA version, there is no ticking yet, and the entire recognition process runs in the background. Exactly how much and what data Google stores is not known in detail from Google.

Inserting the reCAPTCHA will transfer the data to the Google server. The location of this data is not clearly stated by Google even after repeated searches. Without confirmation from Google, it is assumed that data such as mouse interactions, time spent on the site, or European or U.S. Google language settings will be saved on Google's server.

The IP address transmitted by your browser to Google is generally not combined with other Google data from other Google services. However, if you're signed in to your Google Account while using the reCAPTCHA plug-in, the data will be merged. Various Google privacy policies apply.

If you do not want any information about you or your conduct to be passed on to Google, you must sign out of Google completely and delete all Google cookies before you can visit our website or use the reCAPTCHA software. In principle, the data is automatically transmitted to Google as soon as you visit our website. Contact Google Support to delete your data again.

By using our site, you agree that Google and its agents automatically collect, process and use the information.
