Google Analytics examines, among other things, the origin of visitors, the time they spend on individual pages, and the use of search engines, thus allowing better monitoring of the success of advertising campaigns. Google sets a cookie on your computer. This allows personal data to be stored and evaluated, in particular the activity of the user (especially which pages have been visited and which elements have been clicked on), device and browser information (especially the IP address and operating system), data about the advertisements displayed (especially which advertisements were displayed and whether the user clicked on them) and also data from advertising partners (especially pseudonymized user IDs).
We use Google Analytics (Universal Analytics) to evaluate your use of our online presence, to compile reports on your activities and to use further Google services associated with the use of our online presence and internet usage.
We have requested the anonymization of IP addresses, which means that Google will shorten your IP address as promptly as technically possible. However, it cannot be ruled out that your data will be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC based in the USA.
On behalf of the operator of this online presence, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the online presence, compiling reports on the activities of the online presence and providing other services relating to the use of the online presence and internet usage to the operator of the online presence.
More information on the processing of data by Google can be found here: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-GB

2. Purpose of data processing

The purpose of processing personal data is to specifically address a target group that has already expressed an initial interest by visiting the site.

3. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

The legal basis for the processing of personal data is the user's given consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (1) (a) GDPR.

Your personal information will be stored for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or as required by law.

\6. Danger notice

Your personal data will also be transferred to the USA. There is no adequacy decision for the USA according to Art. 45 (3) GDPR. We would like to point out that data transfer without an adequacy decision entails certain risks, which we would like to inform you about below:
Intelligence services in the USA use certain online identifiers (such as the IP address or unique identification numbers) as a starting point for monitoring individuals. In particular, it cannot be ruled out that these intelligence services have already collected information about you, with the help of which the data transmitted here can be traced back to you.
Providers of electronic communications services headquartered in the U.S. are subject to monitoring by U.S. intelligence services pursuant to 50 U.S. Code § 1881a ("FISA 702"). Accordingly, providers of electronic communications services headquartered in the U.S. have an obligation to provide personally identifiable information to U.S. authorities pursuant to 50 U.S. Code § 1881a, with no possible recourse available to you. Even encryption of data at the electronic communications service provider's data centers may not provide adequate protection because, with respect to imported data in its possession or custody or under its control, an electronic communications service provider has a direct obligation to provide access to or surrender such data. This obligation may explicitly extend to the cryptographic keys without which the data cannot be read.
The fact that this is not merely a "theoretical risk" is demonstrated by the ECJ ruling of July 16, 2020 (Case C 311/18, ,,Schrems-II").
With Google, we have concluded guarantees in the form of standard data protection clauses pursuant to Art. 46 (2) lit. c DSGVO. A copy of the standard data protection clauses can be requested from us.
