IP address of the requesting device

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes listed above. In no case do we use the collected data to draw conclusions about your personal identity.
3. Disclosure of Data
We will not disclose your personal data to third parties for any purpose other than those listed below.
Your personal data will only be shared with third parties if:
You have given your explicit consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR,
Disclosure is necessary under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, and there is no reason to believe that you have an overriding legitimate interest in non-disclosure,
There is a legal obligation to disclose under Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR, or
Disclosure is required under Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for the performance of a contract with you and is permitted by law.
4. Integration of Third-Party Services and Content (e.g., Google Maps, YouTube, Vimeo)
We integrate content from third-party providers (such as videos and web fonts) into our online offering based on our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
To display this content, it is essential that the third-party providers receive your IP address, as otherwise the content cannot be delivered to your browser. The IP address is therefore used solely for correct rendering of our website.
We make every effort to use only third-party services that use the IP address exclusively for content delivery.
Third-party providers may also use so-called pixel tags (also known as web beacons), typically invisible graphics, to collect usage statistics such as visitor numbers. These may additionally store information in cookies on your device, including specific details about your browser, operating system, referring websites, and visit duration. Such data may also be combined with information from other sources.
5. Integration of Google Maps
We use Google Maps, a map service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, on our website.
You can find Google’s privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy

6. Your Rights as a Data Subject
Under the GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
Right to Access (Art. 15 GDPR): Request information about the personal data we process about you, including the purpose, categories of data, recipients, storage period, and your rights (rectification, erasure, restriction, objection). You may also request details on automated decision-making and the origin of data not collected directly from you.
Right to Rectification (Art. 16 GDPR): Request immediate correction of inaccurate data or completion of incomplete data.
Right to Erasure (Art. 17 GDPR): Request deletion of your personal data, unless processing is necessary for exercising freedom of expression, fulfilling a legal obligation, public interest, or asserting legal claims.

7. Right to Object
If your personal data is processed based on legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR), you have the right to object to the processing under Art. 21 GDPR, especially if the objection relates to your particular situation.

Beyond this, we employ appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or total loss, destruction, or unauthorized access by third parties. These measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
