Google also processes your personal data in the USA and has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.

Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, if IP anonymisation is activated on this website, Google will reduce your IP address within Member States of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area beforehand. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with further services associated with website and Internet use.

This website uses Google Analytics with the extension “_anonymizeIp()”. As a result, IP addresses are further processed in abbreviated form, so that a personal relationship can be ruled out. As far as the data collected about you is personal, it will be excluded immediately, and the personal data will be deleted immediately.

2. Legal basis of data processing

The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6 Par. 1 S. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

3. Purpose of data processing

By using Google Analytics we can analyse and regularly improve the use of our website. We can improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. We therefore have a legitimate interest in the use of Google Analytics.

4. Retention duration

We have no information about the retention periods and deletion of the data collected by Google.

5. Opt-out and removal option

You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and you must direct your objection to Google in order to do so.

In the case of Facebook and Xing, the IP address is anonymized immediately after collection, according to the respective provider in Germany. By activating the plug-in, personal data is transferred from you to the respective plug-in provider and stored there (for US providers in the USA).
