5. Use of Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies, i.e. text files, which are stored on your computer and allow Google to analyse the use of our website. The information recorded by the cookie on the use of this website (including your IP address) is usually transferred to a server of Google in the USA and stored there.
Google Analytics is extended on our web pages with the code “gat._anonymizeIp();;” to ensure that IP addresses are collected anonymously (IP masking). Your IP address is only recorded by Google in abbreviated form, which ensures anonymity and prevents any conclusions from being drawn about your identity. Where IP anonymisation is activated on this website, your IP address is first shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states that are party to 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 our website, to compile reports on the website activities and to perform further services associated with the use of the website and the internet for us. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be compiled with any other data held by Google. Google transfers this data to third parties only due to legal regulations, or in the context of order data processing. By using this website, you agree to the processing of data collected about you by Google, and in the manner described and for the aforementioned purpose. You can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the corresponding setting in your browser software. However, please note that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions on our website. Furthermore, you can prevent Google’s collection and use of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link. For more information about Google Analytics and privacy, see https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

We have implemented various technical and organisational security measures to ensure that your personal data is adequately protected against unauthorised access or other unlawful use. We have contractual arrangements in place with all of our IT and other third-party service providers, which require them to implement the necessary security measures too.
Our commitment to security also means that we have imposed strict confidentiality obligations on all of our staff and that we have implemented various data security policies to protect your personal data.

Your personal data collected is deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for saving it no longer applies. Furthermore, personal data may be saved, if this is intended by an act, law or other provisions, which the responsible person is subject to.
