Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”) on the legal basis of overriding legitimate interest (analysis of website use). We have entered into a contract with Google for the purposes of processing such data and only within the scope of that agreement.

When you open our website, software establishes a link to the services of Google and data is transmitted, in some cases to Google servers located in the USA. Google Analytics also uses cookies in order to store information about the website user and analyze use of the website by that particular user.

This website uses the function “Activate IP Anonymization”. By means of this, if you are located within the member states of the European Union or other countries within the European Economic Area that are a party to the agreement, Google will abbreviate your IP address before transmitting it to the server. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address first be sent to a Google server in the USA, where it is then abbreviated.

According to Google, Google will use the data collected in order to analyze use of the website, compile reports about website activities and provide related services pertaining to website use as well as use of the Internet in general.

Google may also share this information with third parties, insofar as this is prescribed by law or these third parties are contracted by Google to process such data.

Detailed information about how Google Analytics handles user data may be found in the privacy policies of Google as well as Google Analytics.
