Plausible anonymously records and analyzes the interactions of randomly selected individual visitors with the website to collect information about website usage (such as visitor numbers, page views, bounce rates, and time spent on the site).

8) Site Functionalities

8.1 Google Maps

Our website uses an online map service of the following provider: Google Maps (API) of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google").

Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive (country) maps in order to present geographical information visually. Using this service shows you our location and makes it easier for you to find us.

The Google Maps map is deactivated by default on our website. When you merely access the sub-pages in which the map is embedded, no data is yet transmitted to Google. Only when you actively activate the map by clicking the corresponding button ("Show map") do you consent to the loading of the service, and information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to and stored on Google's servers. In this context, data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC in the USA. This takes place regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in, or whether a user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly associated with your account. If you do not wish your data to be associated with your Google profile, you must log out before activating the map. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them.

The legal basis for loading the service is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) point a GDPR, which you grant by actively clicking the button to activate the map. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by not activating the map again. The subsequent collection, storage and evaluation by Google is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) point f GDPR on the basis of Google's legitimate interest in displaying personalized advertising, market research and/or the demand-oriented design of Google websites. You have the right to object to the creation of these usage profiles, whereby you must contact Google to exercise this right.

Further information on Google's privacy standards can be found here: https://business.safety.google/privacy/

8.2 - Cloudflare Turnstile

On this website, we use the CAPTCHA service of the following provider: Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St. San Francisco, CA 94107, USA

The service checks whether an input is made by a natural person or abusively by machine and automated processing, and blocks spam, DDoS attacks and similar automated malicious attacks. Cloudflare Turnstile is loaded exclusively when accessing those pages that contain protected forms — in particular our contact form. On the other pages of our website, the service is not loaded, so that no data is transmitted to Cloudflare there. In order to ensure that an action is performed by a human being and not by an automated bot, Cloudflare Turnstile collects the IP address of the end device used, recognition data of the browser and operating system type used, as well as the date and duration of the visit, and transmits these data to the provider's servers for evaluation. According to our knowledge, no cookies are set in this process.

The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) point f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the security of our website and in preventing spam and abusive automated access via the aforementioned forms.

We have concluded an order processing agreement with the provider, ensuring the protection of our site visitors' data and prohibiting unauthorised disclosure to third parties.

9.3 Sentry

This website uses an automatic error reporting service from the following provider: Functional Software Inc., 45 Fremont Street, 8th Floor, San Francisco, CA 94105, USA

In the event of technical complications or functional impairments in connection with the operation of the software of the provider, the system sends automatic error reports to the provider containing information on the respective source of the error and its origin. Server information as well as usage parameters such as the IP address, the browser used, time stamps and the URL accessed are transferred.

Depending on the origin of the error, error reports may also contain further personal customer data that we have collected and stored in the course of the conclusion of a contract (in particular first name and surname, address, e-mail address). This is always possible if the error occurs in connection with a software-based processing of customer data.

If personal data is processed for the purpose of direct marketing based on Art. 6 (1) point f GDPR, this data is stored until the data subject exercises his right of objection pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR.

Unless otherwise stated in the information contained in this declaration on specific processing situations, stored personal data will be deleted if it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
