Privacy policy
1. Introduction
With the following information, we would like to give you, as a “data subject“, an overview of the processing of your personal data by us and your rights under data protection laws. In principle, it is possible to use our website without entering personal data. However, if you wish to make use of special services of our company via our website, the processing of personal data may become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain your consent.
The processing of personal data, such as your name, address or e-mail address, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to “QCS-Quick Cargo Service GmbH”. By means of this privacy policy, we would like to inform you about the scope and purpose of the personal data collected, used and processed by us.
As the controller, we have implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, you are free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, such as by telephone or post.
You too can take simple and easy-to-implement measures to protect yourself against unauthorized access to your data by third parties. Therefore, we would like to take this opportunity to give you some information on how to handle your data securely:
l Protect your account (login, user or customer account) and your IT system (computer, laptop, tablet or mobile device) with secure passwords.
l Only you should have access to the passwords.
l Make sure that you only use your passwords for one account at a time (login, user or customer account).
l Do not use the same password for different websites, applications or online services.
l In particular, when using publicly accessible IT systems or those shared with other persons, it is essential that you log out of the network after logging in to a website, application or online service.
Passwords should be at least 12 characters long and should be chosen in such a way that they cannot be easily guessed. Therefore, they should not contain common words from everyday life, one’s own name or the names of relatives, but upper and lower case letters, numbers and special characters.

4. Definitions
The privacy policy is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy is intended to be easy to read and understand, both for the public and for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terminology used in advance.
We use the following terms in this Privacy Policy, among others:
1. Personal data
Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
2. Data Subject
Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller (our company).
3. Processing
processing means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination: restriction, deletion or destruction.
4. Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of restricting their future processing.
5. Profiling
Profiling is any form of automated processing of personal data consisting in the use of such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects relating to that natural person’s work performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movement.
6. Pseudonymization
Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person become.
7. Processors
Processor means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
8. Recipients
The recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to which personal data is disclosed, whether or not it is a third party. However, public authorities that may receive personal data in the context of a specific investigative mandate under Union or Member State law are not considered recipients.
9. Third Party
A third party means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or the processor, are authorised to process the personal data.
10. Consent
Consent means any freely given, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes, in the form of a statement or other unambiguous affirmative action, by which the data subject indicates that he or she consents to the processing of personal data concerning him/her.
5. Legal basis for processing
Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR (in conjunction with Section 25 (1) TTDSG) serves as the legal basis for our company for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose.
If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of enquiries about our products or services.
If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR.
In rare cases, the processing of personal data may become necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were to be injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance details or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. In this case, the processing would be based on Art. 6 (1) (d) GDPR.
Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary for the purposes of a legitimate interest pursued by our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, he was of the opinion that a legitimate interest could be assumed if you are a customer of our company (recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR).
Our offer is basically aimed at adults. Persons under the age of 16 may not submit any personal information to us without the consent of their parents or guardians. We do not solicit, collect or share personal information from children and young people with third parties.
6. Transfer of data to third parties
Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.
We will only share your personal data with third parties if:
1. you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR,
2. the disclosure is permissible in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in the non-disclosure of your data,
3. in the event that there is a legal obligation for disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR, and
4. this is legally permissible and necessary in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR for the execution of contractual relationships with you.
In order to protect your data and, if necessary, to enable us to transfer data to third countries (outside the EU/EEA), we have concluded agreements on order processing based on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission. If the standard contractual clauses are not sufficient to establish an adequate level of security, your consent may serve as the legal basis for the transfer to third countries in accordance with Art. 49 (1) (a) GDPR. This may not apply to data transfers to third countries for which the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR.
Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.
We will only share your personal data with third parties if:
1. you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR,
2. the disclosure is permissible in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in the non-disclosure of your data,
3. in the event that there is a legal obligation for disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR, and
4. this is legally permissible and necessary in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR for the execution of contractual relationships with you.
As part of the processing operations described in this Privacy Policy, personal data may be transferred to the United States. The USA does not have an adequate level of data protection (ECJ: Schrems II ruling). In particular, U.S. investigative authorities can oblige U.S. companies to hand over or disclose personal data without the data subjects being able to take effective legal action against this. This means that there is a fundamental possibility that your personal data may be processed by US investigative authorities. We have no influence on these processing activities. In order to protect your data, we have concluded data processing agreements based on the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. If the standard contractual clauses are not sufficient to establish an adequate level of security, your consent may serve as the legal basis for the transfer to third countries in accordance with Art. 49 (1) (a) GDPR. This may not apply to data transfers to third countries for which the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR.
7. Technology
7.1 SSL/TLS encryption
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption to ensure the security of data processing and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders, login data or contact requests, which you send to us as the operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that there is a “https://” instead of a “http://” in the address bar of the browser and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
We use this technology to protect the information you transmit.
7.2 Data collection when visiting the website
If you use our website for informational purposes only, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise transmit information to us, we only collect data that your browser transmits to our server (in so-called “server log files“). Our website collects a range of general data and information every time you access a page by you or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the log files of the server. The following can be recorded:
1. browser types and versions used,
2. the operating system used by the accessing system,
3. the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer),
4. the sub-websites, which are accessed via an accessing system on our website,
5. the date and time of access to the website,
6. an abbreviated Internet Protocol address (anonymized IP address), and
7. The Internet service provider of the accessing system.
When using this general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about your person. Rather, this information is needed in order to:
1. deliver the content of our website correctly,
2. optimize the content of our website as well as the advertising for it,
3. to ensure the long-term functionality of our IT systems and the technology of our website, and
4. To provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for law enforcement in the event of a cyberattack.
This collected data and information is therefore evaluated by us on the one hand statistically and on the other hand with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data processed by us. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is based on the data collection purposes listed above.
7.3 Hosting by Mittwald
We host our website at Mittwald CM Service GmbH & Co. KG, Königsberger Straße 4-6, 32339 Espelkamp (hereinafter referred to as Mittwald).
When you visit our website, your personal data (e.g. IP addresses in log files) will be processed on Mittwald’s servers.
The use of Mittwald is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in the most reliable presentation and provision of our website as well as its security.
We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) with Mittwald in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. This is a contract required by data protection law that ensures that Mittwald processes the personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

Detailed information on the use of Borlabs cookies can be found at: https://de.borlabs.io/kbtopic/borlabs-cookie/.
9. Content of our website
9.1 Contact / Contact form
When contacting us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail), personal data is collected. Which data is collected in the case of the use of a contact form can be seen from the respective contact form. This data will be stored and used exclusively for the purpose of answering your request or for contacting you and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for the processing of the data is our legitimate interest in answering your request in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. Your data will be deleted after your request has been processed, this is the case if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter concerned has been conclusively clarified and that the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations.
9.2 Blog Comment Function
We offer users the opportunity to leave individual comments on individual blog posts on a blog that is located on our website. A blog is a portal on a website, usually publicly viewable, in which one or more people, who are called bloggers or web bloggers, can post articles or write down thoughts in so-called blog posts. The blog posts can usually be commented on by third parties.
If you leave a comment in the blog published on this website, in addition to the comments you have left, information about the time you enter the comment and the username you have chosen will be stored and published. In addition, the IP address assigned by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) is also logged. This storage of the IP address takes place for security reasons and in the event that you have violated the rights of third parties or posted illegal content by making a comment. The storage of this personal data is therefore in our own interest so that we can exculpate ourselves in the event of a violation of the law. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. This collected personal data will not be passed on to third parties, unless such disclosure is required by law or serves our legal defense.
9.3 Application Management / Job Exchange
We collect and process the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application process. The processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits relevant application documents to us electronically, for example by e-mail or via a web form on the website. If we conclude an employment or service contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If we do not conclude a contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests on our part conflict with deletion. Another legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).
The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 88 GDPR in conjunction with Section 26 (1) BDSG.
10. Sending the newsletter
10.1 Sending newsletters to existing customers
If you have provided us with your e-mail address when purchasing goods or services, we reserve the right to send you regular offers for similar goods or services from our range of goods or services to those you have already purchased. In accordance with § 7 para. 3 UWG, we do not have to obtain any separate consent from you for this purpose. In this respect, data processing is carried out solely on the basis of our legitimate interest in personalised direct advertising in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If you have initially objected to the use of your e-mail address for this purpose, we will not send the e-mail. You are entitled to object to the use of your e-mail address for the aforementioned advertising purpose at any time with effect for the future by notifying the responsible person named at the beginning. For this, you will only incur transmission costs according to the basic tariffs. Upon receipt of your objection, the use of your e-mail address for advertising purposes will be stopped immediately.
10.2 Promotional newsletters
On our website, you will be given the opportunity to subscribe to our company’s newsletter. Which personal data is transmitted to us when subscribing to the newsletter is determined by the input mask used for this purpose.
We inform our customers and business partners about our offers at regular intervals by means of a newsletter. As a matter of principle, you can only receive our company’s newsletter if:
1. You have a valid e-mail address, and
2. You have registered to receive the newsletter.
For legal reasons, a confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address you entered for the first time for the newsletter in a double opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail is used to check whether you, as the owner of the e-mail address, have authorized the receipt of the newsletter.
When you subscribe to the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by your Internet service provider (ISP) of the IT system you were using at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of your e-mail address at a later point in time and therefore serves our legal protection.
The personal data collected as part of a subscription to the newsletter will be used exclusively to send our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a registration in this regard, as could be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or changes in technical conditions. The personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will not be passed on to third parties. You can cancel your subscription to our newsletter at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that you have given us for the purpose of sending the newsletter can be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revoking consent, a corresponding link can be found in each newsletter. Furthermore, it is possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on our website or to inform us of this in another way.
The legal basis for data processing for the purpose of sending the newsletter is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
10.3 Rapidmail
For the purpose of analysis, the e-mails sent with Rapidmail, a service of rapidmail GmbH, Wentzingerstraße 21, 79106 Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany, contain a so-called “tracking pixel” that connects to the servers of Rapidmail when the e-mail is opened. In this way, it can be determined whether a newsletter message has been opened.
Furthermore, with the help of Rapidmail, we can determine whether and, if so, which links in the newsletter message have been clicked. All links in the email are so-called tracking links, which can be used to count your clicks.
For more information on the analysis functions of Rapidmail, please refer to the following link: https://de.rapidmail.wiki/kategorien/statistiken/.
Data processing is carried out on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.
You can revoke your consent at any time. You can also prevent the processing at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. You can also prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your web browser. Also, by disabling Java script in your web browser or installing a Java script blocker (e.g. https://noscript.net or https://www.ghostery.com), you can prevent the storage and transmission of personal data. We would like to point out that as a result of these measures, not all functions of our website may be available.
The data you provide to us for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from our servers as well as from the servers of Rapidmail after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data that has been stored by us for other purposes (e.g. e-mail addresses for the member area) remain unaffected by this.
You can view Rapidmail’s privacy policy at: https://www.rapidmail.de/datensicherheit.
11. Our activities on social networks
In order for us to be able to communicate with you on social networks and inform you about our services, we are represented there with our own pages. If you visit one of our social media pages, we are jointly responsible for the processing with the provider of the respective social media platform with regard to the processing operations triggered by it, within the meaning of Art. 26 GDPR.
We are not the original provider of these pages, but only use them within the scope of the possibilities offered to us by the respective providers.
Therefore, as a precautionary measure, we would like to point out that your data may also be processed outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. The use of the data may therefore be associated with data protection risks for you, as it could be difficult to protect your rights, e.g. to information, deletion, objection, etc., and the processing in the social networks is often carried out directly for advertising purposes or for the analysis of user behaviour by the providers, without us being able to influence this. If user profiles are created by the provider, cookies are often used or the user behavior is assigned to your own member profile of the social networks that you have created.
In accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, the described processing operations of personal data are carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest and the legitimate interest of the respective provider in order to communicate with you in a contemporary manner. To be able to inform you about our services. If you have to give your consent to data processing as a user with the respective providers, the legal basis refers to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 7 GDPR.
Since we do not have access to the data of the providers, we would like to point out that it is best for you to exercise your rights (e.g. to information, correction, deletion, etc.) directly with the respective provider. We have listed further information on the processing of your data in the social networks below from the respective social network provider we use:

12.3 Google Analytics Remarketing
We have integrated Google Remarketing services on this website. The operating company of Google Remarketing’s services is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Remarketing is a feature of Google AdWords that allows a company to display advertisements to Internet users who have previously been on the company’s website. The integration of Google Remarketing therefore allows a company to create user-related advertising and consequently to display advertisements relevant to the Internet user’s interests.
The purpose of Google Remarketing is to display interest-relevant advertising. Google Remarketing enables us to display advertisements via the Google advertising network or to have them displayed on other websites that are tailored to the individual needs and interests of Internet users.
Google Remarketing places a cookie on the data subject’s IT system. By setting the cookie, Google is able to recognise the visitor to our website if he or she subsequently accesses websites that are also members of the Google advertising network. Every time you visit a website on which the Google Remarketing service has been integrated, your internet browser automatically identifies itself with Google. As part of this technical process, Google receives information about personal data, such as your IP address or surfing behavior, which Google uses, among other things, to display interest-relevant advertising.
The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the websites you visit. Every time you visit our website, personal data, including your IP address, will be transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected through the technical process to third parties.
These processing operations will only take place if explicit consent is given in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
The privacy policy of Google analytics Remarketing can be viewed at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ can be accessed.
13. Advertising
13.1 Google Ads
Our website uses the functions of Google Ads. We hereby advertise this website in Google search results, as well as on third-party websites. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). For this purpose, Google places a cookie in the browser of your device, which automatically enables interest-based advertising by means of a pseudonymous cookie ID and based on the pages you visit.
Further data processing will only take place if you have given your consent to Google linking your internet and app browsing history to your Google account and to use information from your Google account to personalize ads that you view on the web. In this case, if you are logged in to Google while visiting our website, Google will use your data together with Google Analytics data to create and define target group lists for cross-device remarketing. For this purpose, your personal data is temporarily linked by Google with Google Analytics data in order to form target groups.
These processing operations will only take place if explicit consent is given in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

13.2 Google Ads mit Conversion-Tracking
We have integrated Google Ads on this website. The operating company of the Google Ads services is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Ads is an internet advertising service that allows advertisers to place ads in both Google’s search engine results and the Google advertising network. Google Ads allows an advertiser to pre-define certain keywords that will be used to display an ad in Google’s search engine results only when the user uses the search engine to retrieve a keyword-relevant search result. In the Google advertising network, the ads are distributed on websites relevant to the topic by means of an automatic algorithm and taking into account the previously defined keywords.
The purpose of Google Ads is to advertise our website by displaying interest-relevant advertising on the websites of third-party companies and in the search engine results of the Google search engine and to display third-party advertising on our website.
If you access our website via a Google ad, a so-called conversion cookie will be stored on your IT system by Google. A conversion cookie expires after thirty days and is not used to identify you. If the cookie has not yet expired, the conversion cookie is used to track whether certain subpages, such as the shopping cart from an online shop system, have been accessed on our website. The conversion cookie allows both us and Google to understand whether a user who came to our website via an AdWords ad generated sales, i.e. completed or abandoned a purchase of goods.
The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie are used by Google to compile visitor statistics for our website. These visit statistics are in turn used by us to determine the total number of users who have been referred to us via ads ads, i.e. to determine the success or failure of the respective ads ad and to optimize our ads for the future. Neither our company nor other Google Ads advertisers receive information from Google that could be used to identify you.
The conversion cookie is used to store personal information, such as the websites you visit. Every time you visit our website, personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection you use, will be transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected through the technical process to third parties.
These processing operations will only take place if explicit consent is given in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

14.1 Getty Images Images
Components of the company Getty Images have been integrated into this website. The operating company of the Getty Images components is Getty Images International, 1st Floor, The Herbert Building, The Park, Carrickmines, Dublin 18, Ireland. Getty Images International is part of the Getty Images group of companies, headquartered at 605 5th Avenue South Suite 400 Seattle, Washington 98104, USA.
Getty Images allows you to embed images (free of charge, if applicable). Embedding is the integration of a certain third-party content (text, video or image data) that is provided by another website and then appears on your own website. A so-called embed code is used for embedding. If an embed code has been integrated by one website operator, the external content of the other website is displayed immediately as soon as a website is visited. Getty Images provides more information about embedding content at the https://www.gettyimages.de/resources/embed link.
Through the technical implementation of the embed code that enables the image display of Getty Images’ images, your IP address is transmitted to Getty Images. In addition, Getty Images records our website, the type of browser used, the browser language, the time and length of access. In addition, Getty Images may collect information about which of our subpages you have visited and which links have been clicked, as well as other interactions you have made while visiting our site. This data may be stored and evaluated by Getty Images.
These processing operations will only take place if explicit consent is given in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
Getty Images’ privacy policy can be viewed at: https://www.gettyimages.de/enterprise/privacy-policy.
14.2 Google Maps
We use Google Maps (API) on our website. Google Maps is operated by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Ireland Limited is part of the Google group of companies, headquartered at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Maps is a web service for the display of interactive (land) maps in order to visually display geographical information. By using this service, for example, our location can be shown to you and a possible journey can be facilitated.
When you access the subpages in which the map of Google Maps is integrated, information about your use of our website (e.g. Your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. In addition, Google Maps loads the Google web fonts. Google WebFonts is also provided by Google Ireland Limited. When you visit a page that embeds Google Maps, your browser loads the web fonts required to display Google Maps into your browser cache. The browser you are using also establishes a connection to Google’s servers for this purpose. As a result, Google becomes aware that our website has been accessed via your IP address. This happens regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether there is no user account. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly associated with your account. If you do not wish to be associated with your Google profile, you must log out of your Google user account. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as user profiles and evaluates them. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, but you must contact Google to exercise this right.
If you do not agree to the future transmission of your data to Google in the context of the use of Google Maps, it is also possible to completely deactivate the Google Maps web service by deactivating the JavaScript application in your browser. Google Maps and thus also the map display on this website cannot be used in this case.
These processing operations will only take place if explicit consent is given in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
You can view Google’s terms of service at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/terms/regional.html, and the additional terms of use for Google Maps can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/de_US/help/terms_maps.html

Through this tool, “website tags” (i.e. keywords that are integrated into HTML elements) can be implemented and managed via an interface. By using the Google Tag Manager, we can automatically track which button, link or personalized image you have actively clicked on and can then record which content of our website is of particular interest to you.
The tool also triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If you have opted out at the domain or cookie level, it will remain in place for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.
These processing operations will only take place if explicit consent is given in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
