2.4 Web fonts

This website uses so-called web fonts provided by Google for the uniform display of fonts. When a page is opened, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly. For this purpose, the browser you are using must connect up to Google servers. Google thus gains knowledge that our website has been accessed from your IP address. Google web fonts are used in the interests of a uniform and appealing presentation of our online offerings. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If your browser does not support web fonts, your computer will use a standard font. More information on Google web fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in the Google privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

Your IP address must be stored so that Google Maps functions can be used. This information is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this website has no influence on this data transfer. Google Maps is used to ensure that our online offerings are presented in an appealing way and the places we refer to on the website can be easily found. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
