The service may also be used on our website if other Google services are reloaded on our website that require Google Fonts fonts to run. This is the case, for example, if our website uses Google services that require Google Fonts to run.

For processing itself, the service or we collect the following data: Data on fonts, IP address of the page visitor, statistics on the use of fonts and other data from Google services related to our website.

If the service is activated on our website, our website establishes a connection to the servers of Google Ireland Limited and transfers the required data. As part of the order processing, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of the company Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States. The processing then also takes place in a third country for which there is no Commission adequacy decision. Therefore, the usual level of protection for the GDPR cannot be guaranteed for the transfer of the data, as it cannot be ruled out that in the third country, e.g. authorities can access the collected data. When using the Google service on our website, Google may transmit and process information from other Google services in order to provide background services for the display and data processing of the services provided by Google. For this purpose, data may also be transferred to the Google services Google Apis, Google Cloud and Google Ads in accordance with the Google privacy policy.

You can revoke your consent at any time. You can find more information about revoking your consent either with the consent itself or at the end of this privacy policy.

Social Plug-In - "Facebook by META"

• • What personal data is collected and to what extent is it processed?

On our website, we have integrated a social plug-in of the social network "Facebooky META", which is operated by Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, 2 Dublin, Ireland, e-mail: impressum-support(at)support.facebook.com, website: http://www.facebook.com/ ("Facebook by META"). When you access a page that contains such a plug-in, your browser automatically establishes a background connection to Facebook by META's servers. The content of the plug-in is transmitted by Facebook by META directly to your browser and only integrated into our site. Through this integration, Facebook by META receives the information that your browser has loaded a specific page of our website. This also applies if you do not have a Facebook by META profile or are not currently logged into Facebook by META. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted by your browser directly to a Facebook by META server in Ireland and stored there. If you are logged in to Facebook by META, Facebook by META can directly assign your visit to our website to your Facebook by META profile. If you interact with the plug-ins, for example by clicking the "Like" button or posting a comment, this information is also transmitted directly to a Facebook by META server and stored there. The information is also published on your Facebook by META profile and displayed to your Facebook by META contacts that you have enabled for this purpose.

• Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) GDPR (if you have registered with "Facebook by META") and Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR (if you have not registered with Facebook by META). Insofar as processing takes place on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR, the legitimate interest of the site operator is to enable user interaction with the content of the site operator on Facebook by META.

• Purpose of the data processing

The primary purpose of the data collection is to offer you a possibility of social interaction linked to Facebook by META and thus to make our website interactive. The scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data you leave behind by Facebook by META, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy, can be found in Facebook by META's data protection information: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy

• Duration of storage

Facebook by META will store the data relevant for the provision of the web service for as long as it is necessary. Insofar as the data is subject to legal retention obligations, the deletion will take place after the expiry of the retention obligation.

• Objection and deletion options

If you do not want the Facebook by META social plug-in to run, you can also prevent it from running by installing an appropriate addon or script blocker. If you do not want Facebook by META to assign the data collected via our website to your Facebook by META profile, you must log out of Facebook by META before visiting our website. The options for objection and removal are also based on the general regulations on the right of objection and deletion under data protection law described below in this privacy policy.

Which personal data is collected and to what extent is it processed

We integrate and use cookies on various pages to enable certain functions of our website and to integrate external web services. The so-called "cookies" are small text files that your browser can store on your access device. These text files contain a characteristic string that uniquely identifies the browser when you return to our website. The process of saving a cookie file is also referred to as "setting a cookie". Cookies can be set both by the website itself and by external web services. Cookies are set by our website or external web services in order to maintain the full functionality of our website, to improve the user experience or to pursue the purpose stated with your consent.

Insofar as another legal basis is mentioned according to the DSGVO (e.g. for the fulfillment of a contract or for the fulfillment of legal obligations), the storage or setting takes place on the basis of an exception according to Section 25 (2) TTDSG. This exists "if the sole purpose of storing information in the end user's terminal equipment or the sole purpose of accessing information already stored in the end user's terminal equipment is to carry out the transmission of a message via a public telecommunications network" or "if the storage of information in the end user's terminal equipment or the access to information already stored in the end user's terminal equipment is absolutely necessary in order for the provider of a telemedia service to provide a telemedia service expressly requested by the user".
