Google Analytics
This website uses functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies.” These are text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is generally transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA.

The storage of Google Analytics cookies is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its website and its advertising.

IP Anonymization
We have activated the IP anonymization function on this website. This means that your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. 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 other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

Data Processing Agreement
We have entered into a data processing agreement with Google and fully comply with the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

Demographic Features in Google Analytics
This website uses the “demographic features” function of Google Analytics. This allows reports to be generated that contain information about the age, gender, and interests of website visitors. This data comes from Google’s interest-based advertising and from third-party visitor data. This data cannot be attributed to any specific individual. You can deactivate this function at any time via the ad settings in your Google account or generally prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics as described in the section “Objection to Data Collection..

Google reCaptcha
Our website uses the reCAPTCHA service provided by Google Inc. This query serves solely to distinguish whether the input is made by a human or abusively by automated, machine processing.

The service includes sending your IP address and, if applicable, other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google.

By using reCAPTCHA, you agree that your recognition efforts will contribute to the digitization of old works. If IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. 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 this service. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of reCAPTCHA will not be merged with other Google data. These data are subject to Google’s separate privacy policy.

Further information on how user data is handled can be found in YouTube’s privacy policy at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy

SSL-Encryption
This site uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as requests you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser’s address bar changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the padlock icon in your browser’s address bar.

When SSL encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Right to Information, Deletion, and Blocking
You have the right to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, as well as the right to rectification, blocking, or deletion of this data.
