IP anonymization

Google Maps
This website uses the Google Maps API, a map service from Google, to display an interactive map. By using Google Maps, information about your use of this website (including your IP address) may be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

If you are logged in to Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not wish your data to be associated with your Google profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or the needs-based design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact Google to exercise this right. An appropriate level of protection of your data in the USA is ensured by the fact that Google is certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield.

The legal basis for any subsequent further processing of personal data is consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit a GDPR. Consent is obtained in the Consent Management Tool under "Your data protection settings" at the top of this page.
The storage of the above-mentioned data and cookies set in your browser and the associated data processing will only take place if you have given your voluntary and revocable consent. The revocation of consent no longer affects the legality of the access or storage carried out up to the time of revocation.
It cannot be ruled out that Google Ireland will transmit the information processed by you to a server of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, where it will be processed.
