Notes on Data Processing in Connection with Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the person responsible for data processing on this website is located outside the European Economic Area or Switzerland, the Google Analytics data processing is carried out by Google LLC. Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited are hereinafter referred to as "Google."

Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies," text files that are stored on the website visitor's computer and that enable an analysis of the visitor's use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about the use of this website by the visitor (including the shortened IP address) is generally transmitted to a Google server and stored there.

Google Analytics is used exclusively with the extension "_anonymizeIp()" on this website. This extension ensures anonymization of the IP address by truncation and excludes any direct personal identification. Through this extension, the IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The IP address transmitted by the respective browser within the framework of Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google.

On behalf of the website operator, Google will use this information to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activities, and to provide further services related to website usage and internet usage to the website operator (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). The legitimate interest in data processing lies in the optimization of this website, the analysis of website usage, and the adaptation of content. The interests of users are sufficiently protected by pseudonymization.

Google LLC offers a guarantee to maintain an adequate level of data protection based on standard contractual clauses. Data sent and linked to cookies, user IDs (e.g. User ID), or advertising IDs will be automatically deleted after 50 months. The deletion of data that has reached its retention period takes place automatically once a month.

Collection by Google Analytics can be prevented by the website visitor adjusting the cookie settings for this website. The collection and storage of the IP address and the data generated by cookies can also be objected to at any time with effect for the future. The corresponding browser plug-in can be downloaded and installed at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

The website visitor can prevent data collection by Google Analytics on this website by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set, which prevents future data collection when visiting this website.

Further information on data use by Google, settings, and options to object can be found in Google's privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy) as well as in the settings for the display of advertising by Google (https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated).

reCAPTCHA

To protect your requests submitted via internet forms, we use the reCAPTCHA service provided by Google LLC (Google). The query serves to distinguish whether the input is made by a human or abusively by automated, machine processing. The query includes the transmission of the IP address and, if applicable, further data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. For this purpose, your input is transmitted to Google and further used there. However, your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area beforehand. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of this service.
