5. Data processing when visiting the website
When visiting our website, we only collect the personal data that your browser sends to our server. If you wish to visit our website, we collect the following data that is technically required by us, so as to display our website and to ensure its stability and security. The legal basis for this is Section 6 (1) Letter f GDPR: –IP address, date and time of the request, time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), content of the request (specific page), access status/HTTP status code, amount of data transferred in each case, website from which the request comes, browser, operating system and its interface, language and version of the browser software.

6. Google Fonts
We use so-called web fonts on our website to ensure the optimal font display. Google Fonts is a service of Google (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). When visiting one of our pages in which web fonts are integrated, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache. If your browser does not support this function, a standard font from your computer is used for display purposes. To retrieve the fonts, a connection to a Google server is established and your IP address is transmitted and stored there, if necessary. Depending on the end device used and approved app authorisations, your location and user data may also be transmitted. The server may be located in the USA. According to Google, data transmitted as part of the Font Service is not merged with other data at Google. The legal basis for the use of Google Fonts is our legitimate interest in the optimisation of our online offer, Section 6 (1) Letter f GDPR. For more information on Google Web Fonts, visit https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq?hl=de-DE&csw=1. General information on data privacy at Google can be found at http://www.google.com/intl/de-DE/policies/privacy/.

So as to protect your privacy, we have taken technical measures to ensure that your data cannot be collected by the providers of the respective plug-in without your consent.

This happens even if you are not a member of the social network of the respective provider. If you are a member of the social network of the provider and are logged in to the social network during your visit to this website, your data and information about your visit to this website can be linked to your profile on the social network.
