6) Tools and Other

6.1 Google Web Fonts

This site uses so-called web fonts provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google") for uniform display of fonts. When you call up a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly.

For this purpose, the browser you use must connect to Google's servers, which may also result in the transmission of personal data to Google LLC servers in the USA. This gives Google knowledge that our website was accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web Fonts is in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our online offerings. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font from your computer is used.

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

6.2 Cookie Consent Tool

This website uses a so-called "Cookie Consent Tool" to obtain effective user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent. The "Cookie Consent Tool" is displayed to users when they visit the page in the form of an interactive user interface, on which consent can be given for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications by checking boxes. By using the tool, all cookies/services that require consent are only loaded if the respective user gives appropriate consent by checking boxes. This ensures that such cookies are only set on the user's device if consent has been given.

The tool sets technically necessary cookies to save your cookie preferences. Personal user data is generally not processed.

If, in individual cases, personal data (such as the IP address) is processed for the purpose of storing, assigning or logging cookie settings, this is done on the basis of our legitimate interest in legally compliant, user-specific and user-friendly consent management for cookies and thus in a legally compliant design of our website.

Furthermore, as the controller, we are legally obliged to make the use of technically non-essential cookies dependent on the respective user consent.

Further information about the operator and the setting options of the Cookie Consent Tool can be found directly in the corresponding user interface on our website.

7) Rights of the Data Subject

The applicable data protection law grants you the following data subject rights (information and intervention rights) vis-à-vis the controller regarding the processing of your personal data, whereby reference is made to the cited legal basis for the respective exercise requirements:

Right of access according to Art. 25 DPA
Right to data portability according to Art. 28 DPA
Right to rectification according to Art. 32 para. 1 DPA

8) Duration of Storage of Personal Data

The duration of storage of personal data is determined by the respective legal basis, the processing purpose and - if applicable - additionally by the respective statutory retention period (e.g. commercial law retention periods).

When processing personal data on the basis of express consent, the affected data is stored until you revoke your consent.

If statutory retention periods exist for data, this data is stored for the legally prescribed duration.

Otherwise, personal data is processed as long as you do not expressly prohibit the processing, unless we can demonstrate an overriding interest in continued processing within the meaning of Art. 31 para. 2 DPA or a justification under law.
