6. Use of Matomo

(1) This website uses the web analytical platform Matomo in order to analyze the use of our website and to be able to improve it continually. Using the obtained statistics, we can improve our offer and make it more interesting for you. The legal foundation for the use of Matomo is Art. 6 paragraph 1 sentence 1 letter f GDPR.

(3) The website uses Matomo with the add-on “AnonymizeIP”. It shortens IP addresses before they are processed which makes the direct identification of a person impossible. The IP address which is transmitted by your browser and identified by Matomo is not added to any other data we collect.

7. Integration of Mapbox

This Site uses Mapbox, a location data and map service for mobile and web applications by Mapbox Inc. (1714 14th Street NW Washington, DC 20009-4309 United States
When visiting our website, information about the use of this website is transmitted to Mapbox, including your IP address, which is deleted after 30days. Map contents are transmitted directly from Mapbox to your browser via the direct connection established with your browser and are integrated into the website from there. We therefore have no influence on the data collected. If you do not want any data to be processed by Mapbox, deactivate JavaScript in your browser settings. This will, however, result in you being unable to use the map settings.

You can find more information about the collection and processing of your data here: https://www.mapbox.com/privacy/.


8. Hosting on Vercel and Hygraph

(1) To provide the best user experience, we have decided to use modern hosting services. In doing so, personal data (e.g., IP address) is transferred to companies based in the USA. There is no adequacy decision of the EU Commission for the USA. There are also no appropriate safeguards for the transfer of personal data. Therefore, there is a risk that personal data may be processed incorrectly or insecurely or may be accessed and further processed by third parties, or that data subject rights may not be enforced.
For more information please refer to Vercel’s privacy page: https://vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy and https://hygraph.com/privacy.

9. Embeds and content integration

When given consent, we use embeds to optimize our offers and to provide you with interesting content. For example, we enrich blog articles with third-party content; some such content may come from social networks or other companies in the USA. These are not loaded without your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a) DSGVO) to protect your data. You can give or revoke this consent on each corresponding page.

In the event of consent, data may be transmitted to these services and cookies may be set. This may include, for example, IP address, browser, page accessed or time. If you have an account with the respective service, account data may also be transmitted to this service provider. The transmission of your data may also occur outside the EU due to the location of the companies.

For detailed information on what data is involved with the services, how it is processed and what rights you have, please read the privacy policies of the companies. Here you will find more detailed information on data processing and setting options to protect your privacy:
