1. An overview of data protection

General information

The fol­low­ing infor­ma­tion will pro­vide you with an easy to nav­i­gate overview of what will hap­pen with your per­son­al data when you vis­it this web­site. The term “per­son­al data” com­pris­es all data that can be used to per­son­al­ly iden­ti­fy you. For detailed infor­ma­tion about the sub­ject mat­ter of data pro­tec­tion, please con­sult our Data Pro­tec­tion Dec­la­ra­tion, which we have includ­ed beneath this copy.

Data recording on this website

Who is the responsible party for the recording of data on this website (i.e., the “controller”)?

The data on this web­site is processed by the oper­a­tor of the web­site, whose con­tact infor­ma­tion is avail­able under sec­tion “Infor­ma­tion about the respon­si­ble par­ty (referred to as the “con­troller” in the GDPR)” in this Pri­va­cy Policy.

How do we record your data?

We col­lect your data as a result of your shar­ing of your data with us. This may, for instance be infor­ma­tion you enter into our con­tact form.

Oth­er data shall be record­ed by our IT sys­tems auto­mat­i­cal­ly or after you con­sent to its record­ing dur­ing your web­site vis­it. This data com­pris­es pri­mar­i­ly tech­ni­cal infor­ma­tion (e.g., web brows­er, oper­at­ing sys­tem, or time the site was accessed). This infor­ma­tion is record­ed auto­mat­i­cal­ly when you access this website.

What are the purposes we use your data for?

A por­tion of the infor­ma­tion is gen­er­at­ed to guar­an­tee the error free pro­vi­sion of the web­site. Oth­er data may be used to ana­lyze your user pat­terns. If con­tracts can be con­clud­ed or ini­ti­at­ed via the web­site, the trans­mit­ted data will also be processed for con­tract offers, orders or oth­er order enquiries.

What rights do you have as far as your information is concerned?

You have the right to receive infor­ma­tion about the source, recip­i­ents, and pur­pos­es of your archived per­son­al data at any time with­out hav­ing to pay a fee for such dis­clo­sures. You also have the right to demand that your data are rec­ti­fied or erad­i­cat­ed. If you have con­sent­ed to data pro­cess­ing, you have the option to revoke this con­sent at any time, which shall affect all future data pro­cess­ing. More­over, you have the right to demand that the pro­cess­ing of your data be restrict­ed under cer­tain cir­cum­stances. Fur­ther­more, you have the right to log a com­plaint with the com­pe­tent super­vis­ing agency.

Please do not hes­i­tate to con­tact us at any time if you have ques­tions about this or any oth­er data pro­tec­tion relat­ed issues.

Analysis tools and tools provided by third parties

There is a pos­si­bil­i­ty that your brows­ing pat­terns will be sta­tis­ti­cal­ly ana­lyzed when your vis­it this web­site. Such analy­ses are per­formed pri­mar­i­ly with what we refer to as analy­sis programs.

For detailed infor­ma­tion about these analy­sis pro­grams please con­sult our Data Pro­tec­tion Dec­la­ra­tion below.

2. Hosting and Content Delivery Networks (CDN)

We are host­ing the con­tent of our web­site at the fol­low­ing provider:

All-Inkl

The Provider is the ALL-INKL.COM – Neue Medi­en Mün­nich, own­er: René Mün­nich, Haupt­straße 68, 02742 Frieder­s­dorf, Ger­many (here­inafter “All-Inkl”). For details, please vis­it the pri­va­cy pol­i­cy of All-Inkl: https://all-inkl.com/datenschutzinformationen/.

This is a con­tract man­dat­ed by data pri­va­cy laws that guar­an­tees that they process per­son­al data of our web­site vis­i­tors only based on our instruc­tions and in com­pli­ance with the GDPR.

3. General information and mandatory information

Data protection

The oper­a­tors of this web­site and its pages take the pro­tec­tion of your per­son­al data very seri­ous­ly. Hence, we han­dle your per­son­al data as con­fi­den­tial infor­ma­tion and in com­pli­ance with the statu­to­ry data pro­tec­tion reg­u­la­tions and this Data Pro­tec­tion Declaration.

When­ev­er you use this web­site, a vari­ety of per­son­al infor­ma­tion will be col­lect­ed. Per­son­al data com­pris­es data that can be used to per­son­al­ly iden­ti­fy you. This Data Pro­tec­tion Dec­la­ra­tion explains which data we col­lect as well as the pur­pos­es we use this data for. It also explains how, and for which pur­pose the infor­ma­tion is collected.

We here­with advise you that the trans­mis­sion of data via the Inter­net (i.e., through e‑mail com­mu­ni­ca­tions) may be prone to secu­ri­ty gaps. It is not pos­si­ble to com­plete­ly pro­tect data against third-party access.

Information about the responsible party (referred to as the “controller” in the GDPR)

The data pro­cess­ing con­troller on this web­site is:

Michael Ihringer
Kas­tanien­allee 24
64289 Darmstadt

Phone: +49 6151 30830–0
E‑mail: info@in-house.de

The con­troller is the nat­ur­al per­son or legal enti­ty that single-handedly or joint­ly with oth­ers makes deci­sions as to the pur­pos­es of and resources for the pro­cess­ing of per­son­al data (e.g., names, e‑mail address­es, etc.).

Storage duration

Unless a more spe­cif­ic stor­age peri­od has been spec­i­fied in this pri­va­cy pol­i­cy, your per­son­al data will remain with us until the pur­pose for which it was col­lect­ed no longer applies. If you assert a jus­ti­fied request for dele­tion or revoke your con­sent to data pro­cess­ing, your data will be delet­ed, unless we have oth­er legal­ly per­mis­si­ble rea­sons for stor­ing your per­son­al data (e.g., tax or com­mer­cial law reten­tion peri­ods); in the lat­ter case, the dele­tion will take place after these rea­sons cease to apply.

General information on the legal basis for the data processing on this website

If you have con­sent­ed to data pro­cess­ing, we process your per­son­al data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2)(a) GDPR, if spe­cial cat­e­gories of data are processed accord­ing to Art. 9 (1) DSG­VO. In the case of explic­it con­sent to the trans­fer of per­son­al data to third coun­tries, the data pro­cess­ing is also based on Art. 49 (1)(a) GDPR. If you have con­sent­ed to the stor­age of cook­ies or to the access to infor­ma­tion in your end device (e.g., via device fin­ger­print­ing), the data pro­cess­ing is addi­tion­al­ly based on § 25 (1) TDDDG. The con­sent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required for the ful­fill­ment of a con­tract or for the imple­men­ta­tion of pre-contractual mea­sures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Fur­ther­more, if your data is required for the ful­fill­ment of a legal oblig­a­tion, we process it on the basis of Art. 6(1)© GDPR. Fur­ther­more, the data pro­cess­ing may be car­ried out on the basis of our legit­i­mate inter­est accord­ing to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Infor­ma­tion on the rel­e­vant legal basis in each indi­vid­ual case is pro­vid­ed in the fol­low­ing para­graphs of this pri­va­cy policy.

Recipients of personal data

In the scope of our busi­ness activ­i­ties, we coop­er­ate with var­i­ous exter­nal par­ties. In some cas­es, this also requires the trans­fer of per­son­al data to these exter­nal par­ties. We only dis­close per­son­al data to exter­nal par­ties if this is required as part of the ful­fill­ment of a con­tract, if we are legal­ly oblig­at­ed to do so (e.g., dis­clo­sure of data to tax author­i­ties), if we have a legit­i­mate inter­est in the dis­clo­sure pur­suant to Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR, or if anoth­er legal basis per­mits the dis­clo­sure of this data. When using proces­sors, we only dis­close per­son­al data of our cus­tomers on the basis of a valid con­tract on data pro­cess­ing. In the case of joint pro­cess­ing, a joint pro­cess­ing agree­ment is concluded.

Revocation of your consent to the processing of data

A wide range of data pro­cess­ing trans­ac­tions are pos­si­ble only sub­ject to your express con­sent. You can also revoke at any time any con­sent you have already giv­en us. This shall be with­out prej­u­dice to the law­ful­ness of any data col­lec­tion that occurred pri­or to your revocation.

Right to object to the collection of data in special cases; right to object to direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)

IN THE EVENT THAT DATA ARE PROCESSED ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO AT ANY TIME OBJECT TO THE PRO­CESS­ING OF YOUR PER­SON­AL DATA BASED ON GROUNDS ARIS­ING FROM YOUR UNIQUE SIT­U­A­TION. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO ANY PRO­FIL­ING BASED ON THESE PRO­VI­SIONS. TO DETER­MINE THE LEGAL BASIS, ON WHICH ANY PRO­CESS­ING OF DATA IS BASED, PLEASE CON­SULT THIS DATA PRO­TEC­TION DEC­LA­RA­TION. IF YOU LOG AN OBJEC­TION, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECT­ED PER­SON­AL DATA, UNLESS WE ARE IN A POSI­TION TO PRESENT COM­PELLING PRO­TEC­TION WOR­THY GROUNDS FOR THE PRO­CESS­ING OF YOUR DATA, THAT OUT­WEIGH YOUR INTER­ESTS, RIGHTS AND FREE­DOMS OR IF THE PUR­POSE OF THE PRO­CESS­ING IS THE CLAIM­ING, EXER­CIS­ING OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL ENTI­TLE­MENTS (OBJEC­TION PUR­SUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PER­SON­AL DATA IS BEING PROCESSED IN ORDER TO ENGAGE IN DIRECT ADVER­TIS­ING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PRO­CESS­ING OF YOUR AFFECT­ED PER­SON­AL DATA FOR THE PUR­POS­ES OF SUCH ADVER­TIS­ING AT ANY TIME. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PRO­FIL­ING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS AFFIL­I­AT­ED WITH SUCH DIRECT ADVER­TIS­ING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PER­SON­AL DATA WILL SUB­SE­QUENT­LY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT ADVER­TIS­ING PUR­POS­ES (OBJEC­TION PUR­SUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to log a complaint with the competent supervisory agency

In the event of vio­la­tions of the GDPR, data sub­jects are enti­tled to log a com­plaint with a super­vi­so­ry agency, in par­tic­u­lar in the mem­ber state where they usu­al­ly main­tain their domi­cile, place of work or at the place where the alleged vio­la­tion occurred. The right to log a com­plaint is in effect regard­less of any oth­er admin­is­tra­tive or court pro­ceed­ings avail­able as legal recourses.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process auto­mat­i­cal­ly on the basis of your con­sent or in ful­fill­ment of a con­tract hand­ed over to you or to a third par­ty in a com­mon, machine-readable for­mat. If you should demand the direct trans­fer of the data to anoth­er con­troller, this will be done only if it is tech­ni­cal­ly feasible.

Information about, rectification and eradication of data

With­in the scope of the applic­a­ble statu­to­ry pro­vi­sions, you have the right to demand infor­ma­tion about your archived per­son­al data, their source and recip­i­ents as well as the pur­pose of the pro­cess­ing of your data at any time. You may also have a right to have your data rec­ti­fied or erad­i­cat­ed. If you have ques­tions about this sub­ject mat­ter or any oth­er ques­tions about per­son­al data, please do not hes­i­tate to con­tact us at any time.

Right to demand processing restrictions

You have the right to demand the impo­si­tion of restric­tions as far as the pro­cess­ing of your per­son­al data is con­cerned. To do so, you may con­tact us at any time. The right to demand restric­tion of pro­cess­ing applies in the fol­low­ing cases:

• In the event that you should dis­pute the cor­rect­ness of your data archived by us, we will usu­al­ly need some time to ver­i­fy this claim. Dur­ing the time that this inves­ti­ga­tion is ongo­ing, you have the right to demand that we restrict the pro­cess­ing of your per­son­al data.
• If the pro­cess­ing of your per­son­al data was/is con­duct­ed in an unlaw­ful man­ner, you have the option to demand the restric­tion of the pro­cess­ing of your data instead of demand­ing the erad­i­ca­tion of this data.
• If we do not need your per­son­al data any longer and you need it to exer­cise, defend or claim legal enti­tle­ments, you have the right to demand the restric­tion of the pro­cess­ing of your per­son­al data instead of its eradication.
• If you have raised an objec­tion pur­suant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, your rights and our rights will have to be weighed against each oth­er. As long as it has not been deter­mined whose inter­ests pre­vail, you have the right to demand a restric­tion of the pro­cess­ing of your per­son­al data.

If you have restrict­ed the pro­cess­ing of your per­son­al data, these data – with the excep­tion of their archiv­ing – may be processed only sub­ject to your con­sent or to claim, exer­cise or defend legal enti­tle­ments or to pro­tect the rights of oth­er nat­ur­al per­sons or legal enti­ties or for impor­tant pub­lic inter­est rea­sons cit­ed by the Euro­pean Union or a mem­ber state of the EU.

SSL and/or TLS encryption

For secu­ri­ty rea­sons and to pro­tect the trans­mis­sion of con­fi­den­tial con­tent, such as pur­chase orders or inquiries you sub­mit to us as the web­site oper­a­tor, this web­site uses either an SSL or a TLS encryp­tion pro­gram. You can rec­og­nize an encrypt­ed con­nec­tion by check­ing whether the address line of the brows­er switch­es from “http://” to “https://” and also by the appear­ance of the lock icon in the brows­er line.

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

Rejection of unsolicited e‑mails

We here­with object to the use of con­tact infor­ma­tion pub­lished in con­junc­tion with the manda­to­ry infor­ma­tion to be pro­vid­ed in our Site Notice to send us pro­mo­tion­al and infor­ma­tion mate­r­i­al that we have not express­ly request­ed. The oper­a­tors of this web­site and its pages reserve the express right to take legal action in the event of the unso­licit­ed send­ing of pro­mo­tion­al infor­ma­tion, for instance via SPAM messages.

4. Recording of data on this website

Cookies

Our web­sites and pages use what the indus­try refers to as “cook­ies.” Cook­ies are small data pack­ages that do not cause any dam­age to your device. They are either stored tem­porar­i­ly for the dura­tion of a ses­sion (ses­sion cook­ies) or they are per­ma­nent­ly archived on your device (per­ma­nent cook­ies). Ses­sion cook­ies are auto­mat­i­cal­ly delet­ed once you ter­mi­nate your vis­it. Per­ma­nent cook­ies remain archived on your device until you active­ly delete them, or they are auto­mat­i­cal­ly erad­i­cat­ed by your web browser.

Cook­ies can be issued by us (first-party cook­ies) or by third-party com­pa­nies (so-called third-party cook­ies). Third-party cook­ies enable the inte­gra­tion of cer­tain ser­vices of third-party com­pa­nies into web­sites (e.g., cook­ies for han­dling pay­ment services).

Cook­ies have a vari­ety of func­tions. Many cook­ies are tech­ni­cal­ly essen­tial since cer­tain web­site func­tions would not work in the absence of these cook­ies (e.g., the shop­ping cart func­tion or the dis­play of videos). Oth­er cook­ies may be used to ana­lyze user behav­ior or for pro­mo­tion­al purposes.

Cook­ies, which are required for the per­for­mance of elec­tron­ic com­mu­ni­ca­tion trans­ac­tions, for the pro­vi­sion of cer­tain func­tions you want to use (e.g., for the shop­ping cart func­tion) or those that are nec­es­sary for the opti­miza­tion (required cook­ies) of the web­site (e.g., cook­ies that pro­vide mea­sur­able insights into the web audi­ence), shall be stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless a dif­fer­ent legal basis is cit­ed. The oper­a­tor of the web­site has a legit­i­mate inter­est in the stor­age of required cook­ies to ensure the tech­ni­cal­ly error-free and opti­mized pro­vi­sion of the operator’s ser­vices. If your con­sent to the stor­age of the cook­ies and sim­i­lar recog­ni­tion tech­nolo­gies has been request­ed, the pro­cess­ing occurs exclu­sive­ly on the basis of the con­sent obtained (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG); this con­sent may be revoked at any time.

You have the option to set up your brows­er in such a man­ner that you will be noti­fied any time cook­ies are placed and to per­mit the accep­tance of cook­ies only in spe­cif­ic cas­es. You may also exclude the accep­tance of cook­ies in cer­tain cas­es or in gen­er­al or acti­vate the delete-function for the auto­mat­ic erad­i­ca­tion of cook­ies when the brows­er clos­es. If cook­ies are deac­ti­vat­ed, the func­tions of this web­site may be limited.

Which cook­ies and ser­vices are used on this web­site can be found in this pri­va­cy policy.

CCM19

Our web­site uses CCM19 to obtain your con­sent for the stor­age of cer­tain cook­ies on your device or for the use of spe­cif­ic tech­nolo­gies and to doc­u­ment the for­mer in a data pro­tec­tion com­pli­ant man­ner. The provider of this tech­nol­o­gy is Papoo Soft­ware & Media GmbH, August­str. 4, 53229 Bonn, Ger­many (here­inafter referred to as “CCM19”).

When you access our web­site, a con­nec­tion with the servers of CCM19 is estab­lished to obtain your con­sent and oth­er dec­la­ra­tions relat­ed to the use of cook­ies. Sub­se­quent­ly, CCM19 will store a cook­ie in your brows­er to be able to allo­cate the grant­ed con­sent or revo­ca­tion. The data gen­er­at­ed using this sys­tem will be archived by us until you ask us to delete it, delete the CCM19 cook­ie your­self or the pur­pose for the archiv­ing of the data no longer applies. This shall be with­out prej­u­dice to any manda­to­ry statu­to­ry archiv­ing periods.

We use CCM19 to obtain the con­sent man­dat­ed by law for the use of cook­ies. The legal basis for this is Art.6 (1)(1)(f) GDPR.

Data processing

We have con­clud­ed a data pro­cess­ing agree­ment (DPA) for the use of the above-mentioned ser­vice. This is a con­tract man­dat­ed by data pri­va­cy laws that guar­an­tees that they process per­son­al data of our web­site vis­i­tors only based on our instruc­tions and in com­pli­ance with the GDPR.

Server log files

The provider of this web­site and its pages auto­mat­i­cal­ly col­lects and stores infor­ma­tion in so-called serv­er log files, which your brows­er com­mu­ni­cates to us auto­mat­i­cal­ly. The infor­ma­tion comprises:

• The type and ver­sion of brows­er used
• The used oper­at­ing system
• Refer­rer URL
• The host­name of the access­ing computer
• The time of the serv­er inquiry
• The IP address

This data is not merged with oth­er data sources.

This data is record­ed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The oper­a­tor of the web­site has a legit­i­mate inter­est in the tech­ni­cal­ly error free depic­tion and the opti­miza­tion of the operator’s web­site. In order to achieve this, serv­er log files must be recorded.

Contact form

If you sub­mit inquiries to us via our con­tact form, the infor­ma­tion pro­vid­ed in the con­tact form as well as any con­tact infor­ma­tion pro­vid­ed there­in will be stored by us in order to han­dle your inquiry and in the event that we have fur­ther ques­tions. We will not share this infor­ma­tion with­out your consent.

The pro­cess­ing of these data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, if your request is relat­ed to the exe­cu­tion of a con­tract or if it is nec­es­sary to car­ry out pre-contractual mea­sures. In all oth­er cas­es the pro­cess­ing is based on our legit­i­mate inter­est in the effec­tive pro­cess­ing of the requests addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your agree­ment (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this has been request­ed; the con­sent can be revoked at any time.

The infor­ma­tion you have entered into the con­tact form shall remain with us until you ask us to erad­i­cate the data, revoke your con­sent to the archiv­ing of data or if the pur­pose for which the infor­ma­tion is being archived no longer exists (e.g., after we have con­clud­ed our response to your inquiry). This shall be with­out prej­u­dice to any manda­to­ry legal pro­vi­sions, in par­tic­u­lar reten­tion periods.

5. Analysis tools and advertising

Google Tag Manager

We use the Google Tag Man­ag­er. The provider is Google Ire­land Lim­it­ed, Gor­don House, Bar­row Street, Dublin 4, Ireland

The Google Tag Man­ag­er is a tool that allows us to inte­grate track­ing or sta­tis­ti­cal tools and oth­er tech­nolo­gies on our web­site. The Google Tag Man­ag­er itself does not cre­ate any user pro­files, does not store cook­ies, and does not car­ry out any inde­pen­dent analy­ses. It only man­ages and runs the tools inte­grat­ed via it. How­ev­er, the Google Tag Man­ag­er does col­lect your IP address, which may also be trans­ferred to Google’s par­ent com­pa­ny in the Unit­ed States.

The Google Tag Man­ag­er is used on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The web­site oper­a­tor has a legit­i­mate inter­est in the quick and uncom­pli­cat­ed inte­gra­tion and admin­is­tra­tion of var­i­ous tools on his web­site. If appro­pri­ate con­sent has been obtained, the pro­cess­ing is car­ried out exclu­sive­ly on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG, inso­far the con­sent includes the stor­age of cook­ies or the access to infor­ma­tion in the user’s end device (e.g., device fin­ger­print­ing) with­in the mean­ing of the TDDDG. This con­sent can be revoked at any time.

The com­pa­ny is cer­ti­fied in accor­dance with the “EU-US Data Pri­va­cy Frame­work” (DPF). The DPF is an agree­ment between the Euro­pean Union and the US, which is intend­ed to ensure com­pli­ance with Euro­pean data pro­tec­tion stan­dards for data pro­cess­ing in the US. Every com­pa­ny cer­ti­fied under the DPF is oblig­ed to com­ply with these data pro­tec­tion stan­dards. For more infor­ma­tion, please con­tact the provider under the fol­low­ing link: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/participant/5780.

Google Analytics

This web­site uses func­tions of the web analy­sis ser­vice Google Ana­lyt­ics. The provider of this ser­vice is Google Ire­land Lim­it­ed (“Google”), Gor­don House, Bar­row Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Ana­lyt­ics enables the web­site oper­a­tor to ana­lyze the behav­ior pat­terns of web­site vis­i­tors. To that end, the web­site oper­a­tor receives a vari­ety of user data, such as pages accessed, time spent on the page, the uti­lized oper­at­ing sys­tem and the user’s ori­gin. This data is assigned to the respec­tive end device of the user. An assign­ment to a user-ID does not take place.

Fur­ther­more, Google Ana­lyt­ics allows us to record your mouse and scroll move­ments and clicks, among oth­er things. Google Ana­lyt­ics uses var­i­ous mod­el­ing approach­es to aug­ment the col­lect­ed data sets and uses machine learn­ing tech­nolo­gies in data analysis.

Google Ana­lyt­ics uses tech­nolo­gies that make the recog­ni­tion of the user for the pur­pose of ana­lyz­ing the user behav­ior pat­terns (e.g., cook­ies or device fin­ger­print­ing). The web­site use infor­ma­tion record­ed by Google is, as a rule trans­ferred to a Google serv­er in the Unit­ed States, where it is stored.

The use of these ser­vices occurs on the basis of your con­sent pur­suant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG. You may revoke your con­sent at any time.

Google Fonts

To ensure that fonts used on this web­site are uni­form, this web­site uses so-called Google Fonts pro­vid­ed by Google. When you access a page on our web­site, your brows­er will load the required fonts into your brows­er cache to cor­rect­ly dis­play text and fonts.

To do this, the brows­er you use will have to estab­lish a con­nec­tion with Google’s servers. As a result, Google will learn that your IP address was used to access this web­site. The use of Google Fonts is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The web­site oper­a­tor has a legit­i­mate inter­est in a uni­form pre­sen­ta­tion of the font on the operator’s web­site. If appro­pri­ate con­sent has been obtained, the pro­cess­ing is car­ried out exclu­sive­ly on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG, inso­far the con­sent includes the stor­age of cook­ies or the access to infor­ma­tion in the user’s end device (e.g., device fin­ger­print­ing) with­in the mean­ing of the TDDDG. This con­sent can be revoked at any time.

If your brows­er should not sup­port Google Fonts, a stan­dard font installed on your com­put­er will be used.
