1. Description and scope of data processing
Every time you visit our website, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing computer.
The following data are collected:
2. Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 para. lit. f.
3. Purpose of data processing
Temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user’s computer. To this end, the user’s IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.
Our legitimate interest in data processing pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f also lies in these purposes.
4. Duration of storage
The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. In the case of data collection for provision of the website, this will be undertaken once the respective session has ended.
5. Options for objection and removal
The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is absolutely necessary for operation of the website. Consequently, there is no option to object on the part of the user.
1. Description and scope of data processing
Our website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in the internet browser or by the internet browser on the user’s computer system. When a user opens awebsite, a cookie can be stored on the user’s operating system. This cookie contains a characteristic string of characters that enables the browser to be clearly identified when the website is visited again.
Technically necessary cookies:
We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly. Some elements of our website require that the calling browser can also be identified after changing pages.
The following data is stored and transmitted in the cookies:
Cookies that are not technically necessary:
When you visit our website, an information banner informs you about the use of cookies and refers you to this data protection declaration. In this context, there is also the option of deactivating technically unnecessary cookies. With the appropriate consent of the user, the following cookies are set (more information on the individual components can be found in Section V):
Google Analytics
We also use cookies on our website that enable an analysis of the surfing behavior of the users. The following data can be transmitted:
The user data collected in this way is pseudonymised by technical precautions. It is therefore no longer possible to assign the data to the calling user. The data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.
2. Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for processing your data using technically necessary cookies is Article 6 Paragraph 1 f. For cookies that are not technically necessary, the legal basis is Article 6 Paragraph 1 a.
3. Purpose of data processing
The purpose of using technically necessary cookies is to simplify the use of websites for users. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies. For this it is necessary that the browser is recognized even after changing pages.
The user data collected by technically necessary cookies are not used to create user profiles. Cookies that are not technically necessary are used to improve the quality of our website and its content. Through these cookies, we or corresponding third-party providers learn how the website is used and can thus continuously optimize our offer.
4. Duration of storage, possibility of objection and removal
Cookies are stored on the user’s computer and transmitted from there to our site. As a user, you therefore have full control over the use of cookies. You can deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies by changing the settings in your Internet browser. Cookies that have already been saved can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. There are several ways to manage cookies. The help button on the toolbars of most browsers shows you how you can stop accepting cookies, how you can be notified when a new cookie is set and how you can block cookies. If you block cookies, you may not be able to register, log in or use the services to their full extent.
1. Data protection provisions on the use and application of Google Analytics (with anonymisation function)
The controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymisation function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analysis is the surveying, collecting, and analysing of data on the behaviour of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, among other things, data on the website from which a data subject has accessed a website (“referrer”), which sub-pages of the website have been accessed, or how often and for how long a sub-page has been viewed. A web analysis tool is mainly used to optimise a website and for cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.
The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
The data controller uses the suffix “_gat._anonymizeIp” for the web analysis via Google Analytics. Using this addition, Google shortens and anonymises the IP address of the data subject when accessing our Internet pages from a Member State of the European Union or from another signatory state to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyse the flow of visitors to our website. Among other things, Google uses the data and information obtained to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports showing us the activities on our websites, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.
Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. Cookies have already been explained above. The placement of this cookie enables Google to analyse the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website is accessed which is operated by the data controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical process, Google obtains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which allows Google, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently enable commission settlements.
Cookies are used to store personal information, such as the time of access, the location from which the website was accessed, and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject. Whenever you visit our website, these personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the data subject, are transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may disclose personal data collected through the technical process to third parties.
The data subject can prevent cookies being set by our website at any time, as already described above, by using an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and therefore permanently objecting to cookies being set. Setting the Internet browser used in this way would also prevent Google from placing a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programmes.
Furthermore, it is possible for the data subject to object to and prevent the collection of data generated by Google Analytics relating to the use of this website and the processing of these data by Google. To do so, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on from the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information on visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. Google views the installation of the browser add-on as an objection. If the data subject’s information technology system is deleted, formatted, or reinstalled at a later time, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person within his/her control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.
Additional information and Google’s privacy policy can be retrieved at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/ and at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail at https://www.google.com/analytics/.
The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer needed for our recording purposes. In our case, this takes place after 26 months
2. Data protection provisions on the application and use of GOOGLE FONTS
We use Google Fonts from Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheater Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) on our website.
You do not have to log in or enter a password to use Google fonts. Furthermore, no cookies are stored in your browser. The files (CSS, fonts / fonts) are requested via the Google domains fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com. According to Google, the requests for CSS and fonts are completely separate from all other Google services. If you have a Google account, you don’t need to worry that your Google account details will be transmitted to Google while you are using Google Fonts. Google records the use of CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and the fonts used and stores this data securely. We will take a closer look at what the data storage looks like.
What are Google Fonts?
Google Fonts (formerly Google Web Fonts) is an interactive directory with more than 800 fonts that Google LLC provides for free use.
Many of these fonts are released under the SIL Open Font License, while others are released under the Apache license. Both are free software licenses. So we can use them freely without paying license fees.
Why do we use Google Fonts on our website?
With Google Fonts, we can use fonts on our own website and do not have to upload them to our own server. Google Fonts is an important component in keeping the quality of our website high. All Google fonts are automatically optimized for the web and this saves data volume and is a great advantage, especially for use on mobile devices. When you visit our site, the small file size ensures a quick loading time. Furthermore, Google Fonts are so-called secure web fonts. Different image synthesis systems (rendering) in different browsers, operating systems and mobile devices can lead to errors. Such errors can partially distort texts or entire websites. Thanks to the fast content delivery network (CDN), there are no cross-platform problems with Google Fonts. Google Fonts supports all common browsers (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera) and works reliably on most modern mobile operating systems, including Android 2.2+ and iOS 4.2+ (iPhone, iPad, iPod).
So we use Google Fonts so that we can present our entire online service as beautifully and consistently as possible. According to Art. 6 Paragraph 1 f lit. F GDPR, this already represents a “legitimate interest” in the processing of personal data Legal system are recognized.
Which data is saved by Google?
When you visit our website, the fonts are downloaded from a Google server. This external call transfers data to the Google server. In this way, Google also recognizes that you or your IP address are visiting our website. The Google Fonts API was developed to reduce the collection, storage and use of end-user data to what is necessary for the efficient provision of fonts. By the way, API stands for “Application Programming Interface” and serves, among other things, as a data transmitter in the software sector.
Google Fonts securely stores CSS and font requests with Google and is therefore protected. Google can determine the popularity of the fonts through the collected usage figures. Google publishes the results on internal analysis sites such as Google Analytics. Google also uses data from its own web crawler to determine which websites use Google fonts. This data is published in the BigQuery database by Google Fonts. BigQuery is a web service from Google for companies that want to move and analyze large amounts of data.
It should be noted, however, that information such as the IP address, language settings, screen resolution of the browser, version of the browser and the name of the browser are automatically transmitted to the Google server with every Google Font request. It is not clear whether this data is saved or not clearly communicated by Google.
How long and where will the data be stored?
Google stores requests for CSS assets for one day on your servers, which are mainly located outside the EU. This enables us to use the fonts with the help of a Google stylesheet. A stylesheet is a format template that can be used to quickly and easily change the design or font of a website, for example.
The font files are stored by Google for one year. With this, Google is pursuing the goal of fundamentally improving the loading time of websites. If millions of web pages refer to the same fonts, they are cached after the first visit and immediately reappear on all other web pages visited later. Sometimes Google updates font files to reduce file size, increase language coverage, and improve design.
How can I delete my data or prevent data storage?
The data that Google stores for a day or a year cannot simply be deleted. The data is automatically transmitted to Google when the page is accessed. To be able to delete this data prematurely, you must contact Google support at https://support.google.com/?hl=de&tid=231560253391. In this case, you only prevent data storage if you are not visiting our site.
Unlike other web fonts, Google allows us unrestricted access to all fonts. We can therefore have unlimited access to a sea of fonts and thus get the most out of our website. You can find more about Google Fonts and other questions at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq?tid=231560253391. Although Google deals with data protection issues there, it does not contain any really detailed information about data storage. It is relatively difficult (almost impossible) to get really precise information about stored data from Google.
You can also read which data is generally recorded by Google and what this data is used for at https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
