Google Maps using the 2-click solution

On our website, we use Google Maps (API) from Google LLC., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive (land) maps to visually display geographic information. The use of this service will show you our location and facilitate your arrival.

The plugins are integrated into our website through the “2 click solution.” When you visit our web pages, your internet browser does not establish a direct connection to the Google server – only if you actively click on the Google plugin and thus agree to the data transmission. If your browser connects directly to Google’s servers Google will, after connecting, submit the content of the plugin directly to your browser and integrate it into the website, allowing Google to process and store any personal information about your website visit If Google is redirected to your browser and incorporated into the website, we cannot control the amount of data Google collects, whether you have a profile on Google or are logged in as a member (IP) address) are sent from your browser directly to a Google server in the USA transferred and stored there. The inclusion of the plugins allows Google to associate the information that you visited the website with your Google Account.

Every use of the plugin is transmitted directly to Google by your browser, where this information is stored. If you are not a registered member of Google, Google may detect and store your (IP) address. Google stores according to own data in Germany only anonymized (IP) addresses.

This data is typically transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored in the United States. The US is not a Member State of the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEG) and thus a so-called third country. For the US as a state there is no adequacy decision of the European Commission. However, Google is subject to the EU Privacy Shield (EU-US agreement) and therefore has an adequate level of protection under Art. 45 I GDPR.
