6. Page functionalities
6.1 LinkedIn plugins
Our website uses plugins from the social network of the following provider: LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland.
These plugins enable direct interaction with content on the social network.
To increase the protection of your data when visiting our website, the plugins are initially deactivated and integrated into the page using a so-called “2-click” or “Shariff” solution.
This integration ensures that when you visit a page on our website that contains such plugins, no connection to the provider’s servers is established.

Regardless of whether you are logged into an existing user profile, information about your device (including your IP address), your browser, and your page history will be transmitted to the provider to a certain extent and may be further processed there.
If you are logged into an existing user profile on the provider’s social network, information about interactions carried out via the plugins will also be published there and displayed to your contacts.
You can revoke your consent at any time by deactivating the activated plugin by clicking on it again. The revocation has

6.3 Google Maps
This website uses an online map service from the following provider: Google Maps (API) from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”).
Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive (land) maps to visually represent geographical information. By using this service, our location is displayed to you and any journey to us is made easier.
As soon as you access the subpages in which the Google Maps map is integrated, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google servers and stored there; this may also involve transmission to Google LLC. servers in the USA. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account that you are logged in to or whether a user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly associated with your account. If you do not want this association with your Google profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them.
The collection, storage, and evaluation are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR on the basis of Google’s legitimate interest in displaying personalized advertising, market research, and/or the needs-based design of Google websites. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact Google to exercise this right. If you do not agree to the future transmission of your data to Google in connection with the use of Google Maps, you also have the option of completely deactivating the Google Maps web service by disabling JavaScript in your browser. Google Maps and thus also the map display on this website cannot then be used.
Where legally required, we have obtained your consent to the processing of your data as described above in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your right of revocation, please follow the procedure for objecting described above.
For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with European data protection standards on the basis of an adequacy decision by the European Commission.
