a. Google Maps

This site uses the Google Maps service from Google via an API (application programming interface). You can recognize this by the map on our directions page. To use the functions of Google Maps, information about your website use, including your IP address, is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. According to Google, the IP address is not associated with any other data held by Google. However, we would like to point out that Google is technically able to identify individual user data with the data received in any case.

If you are also logged into your Google account, this enables Google to assign your surfing behavior directly to your personal profile and to display personalized maps to you. You can prevent this possibility of assignment if you log out of your account beforehand.

More information on the handling of user data can be found in Google's privacy policy:

https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and in Google's statement on the collection and use of data at https://privacy.google.com/intl/de/your-data.html. The terms of use for Google Maps can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/de_US/help/terms_maps.html.

b. Google reCAPTCHA

Our website uses the Google reCAPTCHA service, which belongs to Google. It serves us to ensure that only humans enter data on our site. In this way, we protect ourselves against input by automated programs and abuse (spyware, spam). For this purpose, the reCAPTCHA service analyzes the behavior of you as a website visitor as soon as you call up our website. For this purpose, among other things, your IP address and the duration of your visit are evaluated, but according to Google, they are not linked to other data unless you are logged into your Google account. Google receives this data, possibly on servers in the USA.
