This website uses the online advertising program "Google Ads" and within the scope of Google Ads the

The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google Ads. Cookies are

not be tracked across Google Ads customers' websites. The information obtained using the conversion
cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted in to conversion
tracking. The clients learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a
page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be
used to personally identify users. In the course of using Google Ads, personal data may also be

Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive (land) maps to visually display geographical
information. By using this service, you will be shown our location and a possible approach will be
facilitated.
Already when calling up those sub-pages in which the map of Google Maps is integrated, information
about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google servers and stored
there, this may also result in a transmission to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA. This occurs
regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether a
user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account.
If you do not want the assignment with your profile at Google, you must log out before activating the
button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates
them.
The collection, storage and analysis are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) f DSGVO on the basis
of Google's legitimate interest in the display of personalized advertising, market research and / or the
design of Google websites. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby

provider uses "Google Fonts", i.e. fonts loaded from the Internet by Google. There is no processing of
information other than that mentioned above, which is already transmitted to Google via the
functionality of ReCaptcha.
The service checks whether an input is made by a natural person or abusively by machine and
automated processing, and blocks spam, DDoS attacks, and similar automated malicious access. To
ensure that an action is performed by a human and not by an automated bot, Cloudflare Turnstile
collects the IP address of the end device used, recognition data of the browser and operating system
type used, as well as the date and duration of the visit, and transmits these to servers of the provider
for evaluation.
The legal basis is our legitimate interest in establishing individual ownership on the Internet and

cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded if the respective user grants the corresponding
consent by setting a check mark. This ensures that such cookies are only set on the respective user's
end device if consent has been granted.
The tool sets technically necessary cookies to save your cookie preferences. Personal user data is not
processed in this process.
If, in individual cases, personal data (such as the IP address) is processed for the purpose of storing,
assigning or logging cookie settings, this is done in accordance with Art. 6 (1) f DSGVO on the basis of
our legitimate interest in legally compliant, user-specific and user-friendly consent management for
cookies and thus in a legally compliant design of our website.
Further legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DSGVO. As the responsible party, we are
subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically unnecessary cookies dependent on the
respective user consent.
Where necessary, we have concluded an order processing agreement with the provider, which ensures
the protection of our site visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

13) Duration of the storage of personal data
The duration of the storage of personal data is determined on the basis of the respective legal basis, the
purpose of processing and - if relevant - additionally on the basis of the respective statutory retention
period (e.g. retention periods under commercial and tax law).
When processing personal data on the basis of explicit consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) a DSGVO, the data
concerned will be stored until you revoke your consent.
If there are statutory retention periods for data that is processed within the scope of legal or quasi-legal
obligations on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b DSGVO, this data will be routinely deleted after expiry of
the retention periods, insofar as it is no longer required for the fulfillment or initiation of a contract
and/or we do not have a legitimate interest in continuing to store it.
When processing personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) DSGVO, this data will be stored until you
exercise your right to object pursuant to Art. 21(1) DSGVO, unless we can demonstrate compelling
legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the
processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
When processing personal data for the purpose of direct marketing based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO, this
data will be stored until you exercise your right to object according to Art. 21 (2) DSGVO.
Unless otherwise stated in the other information in this statement about specific processing situations,
stored personal data will otherwise be deleted when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which
it was collected or otherwise processed.
