Data protection

The protection of your personal data is very important to us. Accordingly, we treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and the following data protection notice. The legal basis for data protection is the Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz/BDSG) and Telemedia Act (Telemediengesetz/TMG).

The use of our website is possible without providing personal data. Nevertheless, certain data such as your computer IP will be collected by the webhosting company. This data will not be disclosed to third parties without your express permission.

However, we would like to point out that online data transmission (e.g. when communicating by email) may have security gaps. A complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible. Therefore, we use data collecting technology as little as possible.

Google Maps

This website uses Google Maps to display interactive maps and to create directions. Google Maps is a mapping service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, California 94043, USA. By using Google Maps, information about the use of this website, including your IP address and the (start) address entered as part of the route planner function, may be transmitted to Google in the USA. If you call up a web page of our website that contains Google Maps, your browser establishes a direct connection with Google's servers. The map content is transmitted by Google directly to your browser, which then integrates it into the website. Therefore, we have no influence on the scope of data collected by Google in this way. According to our knowledge, this is at least the following data:

Date and time of the visit to the website in question,
Internet address or URL of the accessed web page,
IP address,
(Start) address entered for route planning purposes.

We have no influence on further processing and use of data by Google and therefore cannot assume any responsibility for this.
If you do not want Google to collect, process or use data about you via our website, you may deactivate JavaScript in your browser settings. In this case, however, you will not be able to use the map display.
For purpose and scope of data collection and further processing and use of data by Google, as well as your rights in this respect and setting options for protecting your privacy, please refer to Google's data protection information.
By using our website, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google Maps Route Planner in the manner and for the purposes set out above.
