Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google's privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

Use of Typekit web fonts from Adobe Fonts

We use Typekit web fonts from Adobe Fonts for the visual design of our website. Adobe Fonts is a service of Adobe Systems Software Ireland Companies (4-6 Riverwalk, Citywest Business Campus, Dublin 24, Republic of Ireland; hereinafter "Adobe"), which grants us access to a font library.

To integrate the fonts we use, your browser must establish a connection to a server of Adobe in the USA and download the font required for our website. This allows Adobe to know that our website has been accessed from your IP address.

If your browser does not support web fonts, or if you do not give your consent, a default font will be used on your computer.

YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (hereinafter referred to as "Google"). When you visit a page with the YouTube plugin, a connection to servers of YouTube is established. YouTube is informed about which pages you visit.

Social Plugins

Type and purpose of processing:

We offer you the option of using so-called "social media buttons" on our website. To protect your data, we use the "Shariff" solution for implementation. This means that these buttons are only embedded on the website as graphics containing a link to the corresponding website of the button provider. By clicking on the graphic, you will be redirected to the services of the respective provider, and your data will only be sent to the respective providers at that time. If you do not click on the graphic, there will be no exchange between you and the providers of the social media buttons. Information about the collection and use of your data in social networks can be found in the respective terms of use of the corresponding providers. For more information on the Shariff solution, please click here: http://www.heise.de/ct/artikel/Shariff-Social-Media-Buttons-mit-Datenschutz-2467514.html

We have integrated the social media buttons of the following companies on our website:

Google AdWords

Our website uses Google Conversion Tracking. The operator of Google AdWords services is Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. If you have arrived at our website via a Google advertisement, Google AdWords will place a cookie on your computer. The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on an advertisement placed by Google.

If the user visits certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to that page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked across the websites of AdWords customers. The information obtained with the help of the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. The customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive information that would allow users to be personally identified.

For more information on data processing by Google, please refer to the Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy. There you can also change your personal privacy settings in the privacy center.

Revocation of consent:

At present, the provider does not offer an easy opt-out or blocking of data transmission. If you want to prevent tracking of your activities on our website, please revoke your consent for the corresponding cookie category or all technically unnecessary cookies and data transmissions in the cookie consent tool. In this case, however, you may not be able to use our website or only to a limited extent.

SSL encryption

To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use encryption methods that correspond to the current state of the art (e.g., SSL) via HTTPS.
