By integrating Google services, Google may collect and process information (including personal data). It cannot be ruled out that Google may transfer this information to a server in a third country.
The transmission to the USA depends on the function in which personal data is transmitted. As the data controller, we may transmit data to Google for further use in the USA. This transmission may be based on standard contractual clauses. Google has committed to comply with the standard contractual clauses (SCC) for the transfer of personal data to third countries under Regulation (EU) 2016/679. Further information on the standard contractual clauses can be found at commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection_en and policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks.

Google states the following:
“Under certain circumstances, the data we collect may be combined across services and devices for the purposes described above. For example, if you watch videos of guitar players on YouTube, you might see an ad for guitar lessons on a site that uses our ad products.

Use of Google Analytics
We employ Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Ltd. (the service provider), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”), on our website. Additionally, we utilize the supplementary tool “Google Optimize” with Google Analytics.
Google Analytics uses “cookies,” which are text files stored on your device that enable an analysis of your use of the websites visited by you. Google Analytics also employs web beacons (invisible graphics) through which information such as visitor traffic on websites can be evaluated. The information generated by cookies and web beacons regarding the use of our website (including users’ IP addresses) is transmitted to and stored on a Google server, potentially in the USA or other third countries. This information may be shared by Google with Google’s contractual partners.
For information on standard contractual clauses and the transfer to the USA from us to Google, as well as other relevant data regarding data processing by Google in the context of using Google services, please refer to this privacy policy under section “5) Information about Google Services.”
Google processes the following types of data:
-Online identifiers (including cookie identifiers)

Furthermore, you can find more detailed information about the processed data at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en#infocollect under “Data we receive based on your use of our services,” as well as at https://privacy.google.com/businesses/adsservices/.
We use Google Analytics only with IP anonymization enabled (“anonymize IP”). This means that your IP address is truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there.
Furthermore, we have entered into a data processing agreement with Google for the use of Google Analytics and Google Optimize (Art. 28 GDPR). Google processes the data on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity for us, and provide other services related to website usage and internet usage. Google may transfer this information to third parties if required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google. You can find a list of these subprocessors at https://privacy.google.com/businesses/subprocessors/.
By integrating Google Analytics, our aim is to analyze user behavior on our website and respond accordingly, thereby continuously improving our offerings. We use Google Optimize to track the effects of adjustments to our website on our users and to continually optimize our website. To achieve this, users are presented with different versions of our website, and various criteria are established (e.g., determining the findability of a section based on user click behavior). We are only presented with statistics, and it is not possible for us to draw conclusions about individual persons based on these statistics.
The processing of your personal data is based exclusively on your consent in accordance with Art. 6, Para. 1, Sentence 1, lit. a) GDPR and § 25, Para. 1 TTDSG. You can withdraw your consent at any time.
Additionally, you can prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.
