When calling up the pages on which the Google Maps map is imbedded, information about your use of our website (e.g. your IP address) is transferred to and saved by the Google server in the USA. This is done regardless of whether Google provides a user account in which you are logged in or whether you do not have a user account. If you are logged in to Google, your data is assigned directly to your account. If you do not want this information to be assigned to your profile by google, then you will need to log out of your Google user account. Google saves your data (even for users who are not logged in) as a user profile and analyzes it.

You have the right to object to the creation of this user profile, although you will need to voice your objection to Google. Google LLC with its headquarters in the USA is certified for the US-European data protection agreement “Privacy Shield” that ensures the data protection level required for the EU is upheld. If you object to your data being transferred to Google in the future for the use of Google Maps, then it is possible to completely deactivate Google Maps’ services by turning off the application JavaScript in your browser. Google Maps and the maps shown on this website can then not be used. Using Google Maps is done in the interest of an aesthetic presentation of our online services and to make it easier to find the locations we refer to on our website.
