Analytics/Tracking Tools, Google Fonts, Instagram, and Similar Measures

No tracking via Google Analytics or similar tools takes place.

Google Fonts

To display our content correctly and attractively across different browsers, we use script and font libraries from Google:

Google Fonts (https://fonts.google.com/). Google Fonts are transferred to your browser’s cache to avoid multiple loadings. If your browser does not support Google Fonts or blocks access, content will be displayed in a standard font.

Calling up script or font libraries automatically establishes a connection to the operator of the library. It is theoretically possible that the operator collects data.

Google’s privacy policy can be found at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/. According to Google, only the frequency of content retrievals is recorded, and no personal data is collected (https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq#Privacy).

Instagram

We maintain an online presence on the social network Instagram to communicate with customers, interested parties, and users and to inform them about our services.

Please note that user data may be processed outside the EU. This can present risks, such as difficulty enforcing user rights. US providers certified under the Privacy Shield commit to adhering to EU data protection standards.

User data is generally processed for market research and advertising purposes, allowing user profiles to be created based on behavior and interests. These profiles can be used for targeted advertising. Cookies are typically stored on users’ devices for this purpose, storing usage patterns and interests.

Processing user data is based on our legitimate interest in effective user communication under Article 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. If platform providers request consent, Article 6 (1) lit. a and Article 7 GDPR serve as the legal basis.

For detailed information on processing and opt-out options, please refer to the providers:
