This website uses functions from the web analytics service of Google Analytics. The provider is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Google Analytics utilises so-called "cookies". These are text files which are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
IP anonymising
We have activated the IP anonymisation function on this website. This means that your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will utilise this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports about the website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address which has been transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

Commissioned data processing
We have concluded a contract with Google for commissioned data processing and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.
Demographic characteristics in Google Analytics
This website uses the "demographic characteristics" function of Google Analytics. This allows reports to be generated that contain statements about the age, gender and interests of site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising from Google as well as visitor data from third-party providers. This data cannot be assigned to a specific person. You can deactivate this function at any time via the ad settings in your Google account or generally prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics as described in the section "Objection to data collection".
This website uses Google Maps in order to represent interactive maps and to create directions. Google Maps is a mapping service which is provided by Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, California 94043, USA. By using Google Maps, information about the use of this website, including your IP address and the (start) address which has been entered as part of the route planner function, can be transmitted to Google in the USA. When you call up a web page of our website which already contains Google Maps, then your browser will establish a direct connection with Google's servers. The map content is thereby transmitted by Google directly to your browser, which then integrates it into the website. We therefore have no influence on the scope of the data which is thereby collected by Google in this way. According to our knowledge, this is at least the following data:
We have no influence on the additional processing and use of the data by Google and can therefore accept no responsibility for this. When you do not want Google to collect, process or use data about you via our website, then you can deactivate JavaScript in your browser settings. In this case, however, you will not be able to use the map display. In addition, this will restrict the functionality of our website. The purpose and scope of the data collection and the additional, ongoing processing and use of the data by Google, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy, can be found in the privacy policy of Google. The terms of use of Google Maps can be found at Terms of Use of Google Maps. By using our website, you hereby consent to the processing of data about you by Google Maps Route Planner in the manner and for the purposes as set out above
Sending emails will be executed by utilising "SendGrid", an email sending platform which is provided by SendGrid Inc, Larimer St, Denver, CO 80202, USA.
SendGrid is considered reliable in terms of data protection and we also trust in its services, protection levels and security. You can view SendGrid's privacy policy here: https://sendgrid.com/privacy.
Nevertheless, we must still point out that the data of email recipients will be transferred to the USA. The USA is classified by the EU as a third-party country which is not considered to be safe from a data protection point of view. This is due to the fact that there is no uniform data protection law in place in the USA and that there are political fault lines between the USA and the EU with regard to data protection.
By using our contact form, you therefore consent to our use of SendGrid.
Unless otherwise specifically stated, we will only store your personal data for as long as is necessary in order to fulfil the purposes which are pursued by our company.
In some cases, the legislator provides for the retention of personal data, for example in cases of tax law or commercial law. In these cases, we will only continue to store the data for these legal purposes but do not process it elsewhere and delete it once the legal retention period has expired.

We make every effort to ensure the security of your data within the framework of the applicable data protection laws and technical possibilities.
This site uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as enquiries which you send to us in the role of site operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
When SSL encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
We would like to point out, however, that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. when communicating by email) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
To secure your data, we maintain technical and organisational security measures in accordance with Art. 32 DSGVO, which we continually adapt to the state of the art.
We also do not guarantee that our offer will be available at certain times; disruptions, interruptions or failures cannot be ruled out. The servers we use are carefully backed up on a regular basis.
In principle, we only utilise your personal data within our company.
If and to the extent that we involve third parties in the performance of contracts (such as logistics service providers), then they will only receive personal data to the extent that the transfer is necessary for the corresponding service.
In the event that we outsource certain parts of data processing ("commissioned processing"), then we will contractually oblige the commissioned processors to only utilise the personal data in accordance with the requirements of data protection laws and to always ensure the protection of the rights of the data subject.
There will not be any data transfer executed to entities or people located outside the EU, apart from the cases mentioned in this statement under Google Analytics and Google Maps and Sending Emails with SendGrid.
