(1) Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as "Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", which are text files stored on your computer, to help the website analyse how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be sent to and stored by Google on servers in the USA.

This website uses Google Analytics exclusively with the extension "anonymizeIp()", which ensures anonymisation of the IP address by shortening it and excludes direct personal reference. The extension means that your IP address is shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. The full IP address will be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there only in exceptional cases. In these exceptional cases, this processing is carried out on the basis of your consent in accordance with Article 6, paragraph 1, lit. a of the GDPR.

Google will use this information on our behalf for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and Internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

In this context, Google Ireland Limited, as the sole data controller, may store data related to you in the USA. The European Court of Justice has determined with regard to the USA that it is a country with an insufficient level of data protection. In this context, there is a particular risk that your data will be processed by American institutions/authorities for control and monitoring purposes without you having an adequate legal remedy against this.

Data transmission by Google

Google relies on standard contractual clauses for data transfers. The European Commission has approved the use of standard contractual clauses as a means of ensuring adequate protection when transferring data outside the EEA (European Economic Area). Through the use of standard contractual clauses https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection_de in a contract concluded between data controllers, personal data is considered to be protected when transferred from the EEA or the UK to countries not covered by an adequacy decision https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/adequacy-decisions_en. We must point out that if data is transferred to the US, there is a risk that your data may be processed by US authorities for control and monitoring purposes.
