2. Data Category and Description of Data Processing: Usage data (e.g. IP, location, page viewed). Google Maps allows us to display the location of addresses and directions directly on our website in interactive maps and enable you to use this tool. When you call up our website where Google Maps is integrated, a connection is established to Google's servers in the USA. In this process, your IP and location may be transmitted to Google. In addition, Google receives the information that you have called up the corresponding page. This also takes place without a user account with Google. If you are logged into your Google account, Google can assign the above data to your account. If you do not wish this, you must log out of your Google account. Google creates user profiles from such data and uses this data for the purposes of advertising, market research or optimization of its websites.
3. Purpose of Processing: provision of a user-friendly, economical and optimized website.

Legal Basis: If you have given your consent ("opt-in") for processing of your personal data by means of "Google Maps" from the third party provider, then Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a) DSGVO is the legal basis. In addition, the legal basis is our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 p.1 lit. f) DS-GVO, which lies in the above purposes.
