Information on Data Processing in Connection with Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the data controller for this website is located outside the European Economic Area or Switzerland, then the Google Analytics data processing is carried out by Google LLC. Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited are referred to collectively as "Google" below. The operator of this website is responsible for data processing in connection with Google Analytics on this website.

Google Analytics uses "cookies," which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website will generally be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

Google Analytics is used on this website exclusively with the extension "_anonymizeIp()". This extension ensures the anonymization of IP addresses by truncation, thus preventing direct identification of individuals. The extension truncates the IP address within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before it is transmitted to Google. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

On behalf of the website operator, Google will use the collected information to evaluate website usage, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). The legitimate interest in data processing lies in optimizing this website, analyzing website usage, and adapting content, which is made possible by providing the statistical functions. User interests are adequately protected through pseudonymization.

Google LLC guarantees an adequate level of data protection based on standard contractual clauses. Data transmitted and linked to cookies, user identifiers (e.g., user ID), or advertising IDs is automatically deleted after 50 months. Data whose retention period has expired is automatically deleted once a month.

Tracking by Google Analytics can be prevented by adjusting the cookie settings for this website. The collection and storage of IP addresses and data generated by cookies can also be objected to at any time with effect for the future. The corresponding browser plugin can be downloaded and installed from the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Further information on Google's terms of service and privacy policy can be found in the Google Analytics Terms of Service and the Google Analytics Overview.

In accordance with applicable legislation and the GDPR, website visitors have certain rights regarding their personal data processed through this Google Analytics data processing. In particular, they have the right to access, rectification, data portability, and erasure of their data. Website visitors also have the right to object to certain processing of their data. To exercise these data subject rights regarding Google Analytics data processing on this website, a data subject (website visitor) can contact the website operator at any time.
