On our website we use Google\nMaps from the company Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA\n94043, USA). With Google Maps we can show you locations better and thus adapt\nour service to your needs. By using Google Maps, data is transferred to Google\nand stored on Google’s servers. Here we would like to go into more detail about\nwhat Google Maps is, why we use this Google service, what data is stored and\nhow you can prevent this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Google Maps is an Internet map\nservice from Google Inc. that allows you to search online for exact locations\nof cities, places of interest, accommodations or businesses using a PC, tablet\nor app. If companies are represented on Google My Business, additional\ninformation about the company is displayed next to the location. To show how to\nget there, map sections of a location can be embedded into a website using HTML\ncode. Google Maps shows the surface of the earth as a street map or as an\naerial or satellite image. Thanks to the Street View images and the high\nquality satellite images, very accurate representations are possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
All our efforts on this site\nare aimed at providing you with a useful and meaningful time on our website.\nThrough the integration of Google Maps, we can provide you with the most\nimportant information about various locations. You can see at a glance where we\nhave our headquarters. The directions always show you the best or fastest way\nto reach us. You can call up the directions for routes by car, public\ntransport, on foot or by bicycle. For us, providing Google Maps is part of our\ncustomer service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In order for Google Maps to offer its service in its entirety, the company\nmust collect and store data about you. This includes the search terms entered,\nyour IP address and also the latitude and longitude coordinates. If you use the\nroute planner function, the start address entered will also be saved. However,\nthis data storage happens on the websites of Google Maps. We can only inform\nyou about it, but we cannot influence it. Since we have integrated Google Maps\ninto our website, Google sets at least one cookie (name: NID) in your browser.\nThis cookie stores data about your user behaviour. Google uses this data\nprimarily to optimise its own services and to provide individual, personalised\nadvertising for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The following cookie is set in your browser due to the integration of\nGoogle Maps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Name:<\/strong> NID Expiration\ndate:<\/strong> after 6 months<\/p>\n\n\n\n Comment:<\/strong> We cannot guarantee the completeness of the stored data. Especially when\nusing cookies, changes can never be excluded. In order to identify the cookie\nNID, a separate test page was created where only Google Maps was integrated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Google servers are located in data centers around the world. However, most servers are located in America. For this reason, your data is also increasingly stored in the USA. Here you can find out exactly where the Google data centers are located: https:\/\/www.google.com\/about\/datacenters\/inside\/locations\/?hl=de<\/p>\n\n\n\n Google distributes the data on different data carriers. This means that the data can be accessed more quickly and is better protected against any attempts at manipulation. Each data center also has special emergency programs. If, for example, there are problems with the Google hardware or a natural disaster paralyses the servers, the data is still protected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some data is stored by Google\nfor a specified period of time. For other data, Google only offers the option\nto delete it manually. In addition, the company also anonymizes information\n(such as advertising data) in server logs by deleting part of the IP address\nand cookie information after 9 and 18 months, respectively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n With the automatic deletion of location and activity data introduced in\n2019, location and web\/app activity information is stored for either 3 or 18\nmonths, depending on your decision, and then deleted. You can also manually\ndelete this data from your history at any time using your Google Account. If\nyou want to completely prevent your location tracking, you’ll need to pause web\nand app activity in Google Account. Click ‘Data and personalization’ and then\nclick the ‘Activity setting’ option. Here you can turn the activity on or off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can also disable, delete or manage individual cookies in your browser.\nDepending on the browser you use, this always works slightly differently. Manage\ncookies in your browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you do not wish to receive cookies, you can set up your browser so that\nit always informs you when a cookie is to be set. This way you can decide for\neach individual cookie whether you want to allow it or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Google is an active participant in the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework,\nwhich regulates the correct and secure transfer of personal data.
