VI. Use of Google Maps
1. Description and scope of data processing
On our website we use Google Maps (API) from Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google").
Google Maps is a web service for the display of interactive (land) maps to visually present geographic information. By using this service, our location will be displayed and any approach will be easier for you.
When you access google Maps and its sub-pages, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google servers in the USA and stored there. This happens regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in at Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not want the assignment with your profile at Google, you have to log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as user profiles and evaluates them.
In order to give you the opportunity to choose whether you really want to open Google Maps before opening it, we use a so-called 2 click solution.
This means that you only agree to the connection to Google Maps when you click again.
2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data
The evaluations by Google Maps are carried out in particular in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 letter f DPA on the basis of the legitimate interests of Google in the insertion of personalized advertising, market research and/or the needs-based design of its website.
3. Purpose of data processing
The integration of Google Maps into our website pursues the goal of making our location available to customers and interested parties for information or to make it easier to find us.
4. Duration of storage
Google will store the data relevant for the function of Google Maps for as long as it is necessary to fulfill the booked web service. The data collection and storage will be anonymous. If there is a personal reference, the data will be deleted immediately, unless they are subject to legal storage obligations. In any case, the data will be deleted after the expiration of the storage obligation.
The terms of use of Google can be viewed at: http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/terms/regional.html, the additional terms of use for Google Maps can be found at: https://www.google.com/intl/de_US/help/terms_maps.html

Policy): http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/
5. Possibility of objection and removal
You have a right of objection to the creation of these user profiles, and you must contact Google to exercise this right.
Google LLC, based in the USA, is certified for the US-European data protection agreement "Privacy Shield", which guarantees compliance with the level of data protection applicable in the EU.
If you do not agree with the future transmission of your data to Google in the context of the use of Google Maps, there is the possibility to completely deactivate the web service of Google Maps by switching off the application JavaScript in your browser. Google Maps and thus the map display on this website cannot then be used.
