Please note that the USA does not have an adequate level of data protection comparable to that in the EU. Therefore, there is a risk of access to this data by governmental authorities. This risk may also exist with regard to other third countries. The permissibility of these data transfers to the USA and other affected third countries follows from Art. 49 paragraph (1) sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR.

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information 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.

We would like to point out that on this website Google Analytics has been extended by the code “gat._anonymizeIp();” in order to guarantee an anonymized collection of IP addresses (so-called IP-Masking).

Your personal data will be transferred to the USA, where there is no adequate level of data protection comparable to that in the EU. Therefore, there is a risk of access to this data by government authorities.
