5.1 Description and Scope of Data Processing
Our website uses the "Google Maps" mapping service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google").
To display the map, a connection to Google's servers is established when the relevant page is accessed. In doing so, Google may collect and process your IP address along with other location and usage data. We have no influence over the nature and scope of this data processing by Google.

Use of this service is based on our legitimate interest in an appealing and user-friendly presentation of our website (Art. 31 para. 1 FADP and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). Where consent is obtained for this integration, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of that consent; it may be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future.
