On some pages, you can enter personal data such as your name and address in

a form, the information you provide will be transmitted in encrypted form.
In this way, misuse of the data by third parties is prevented.

INTEGRATION OF THIRD-PARTY SERVICES AND CONTENT
Third-party content, which may include, for example, YouTube videos, Google
Maps materials, Google fonts, or graphics from other websites may be
integrated into this online offering. This always requires that the
providers of this content (hereinafter referred to as âthird-party
providersâ) have knowledge of the IP address of the user because they could
not send the content to the respective userâs browser without the IP
address. The IP address is hence necessary for display of this content. We
strive to use only content whose respective providers use the IP address
solely for the delivery of the content. However, we have no influence over
whether or not the third-party providers, e.g., save the IP address for
statistical purposes. We will notify the users accordingly if we become
aware of this.
YouTube: We use YouTubeâs âextended data protection modeâ to embed videos. A
cookie that, according to YouTube, contains no personal information will
only be saved on your computer when you play the video. More information on
the collection and use of data can be found in the YouTube Privacy Policy at
www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
This website uses the Google Maps API for visually representing geographical
information. When Google Maps is used, Google also collects, processes, and
uses data on the use of the map features by users. More information on data
processing by Google can be found in Googleâs Privacy Policy. You can also
change your personal data privacy settings there in the privacy center.
Google Fonts: To render our content correctly and graphically appealingly
across browsers, we use script libraries and font libraries such as Google
fonts (www.google.com/webfonts/) on this website. Google fonts are
transferred to your browserâs cache so that they donât have to be loaded
multiple times. If the browser does not support Google fonts or denies
access, the content is displayed in a standard font.
Calling of script libraries or font libraries automatically triggers
connection to the operator of the library. It is theoretically possible for
operators of the corresponding libraries to collect data â although it is
not clear as to whether or not and, if so, for which purposes they would do
so.
The Privacy Policy of the library operator Google can be found at
www.google.com/policies/privacy.
