Google Fonts data protection declaration We use Google Fonts on our website. These are the "Google fonts" from Google Inc. For the European area, Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all Google services. For the use of Google fonts, you must do not log in or store a password. Furthermore, no cookies are stored in your browser. The files (CSS, fonts) are requested via the Google domains fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com. According to Google, are the requests for CSS and fonts are completely separate from all other Google services. If you have a Google account, you don't have to worry that your Google account data will be transmitted to Google while using Google Fonts. Google will record the Use of CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and the fonts used and stores this data securely. We will look at exactly what the data storage looks like in detail later. What are Google F onts? Google Fonts (formerly Google Web Fonts) is a directory of over 800 fonts that Google makes available to its users free of charge. Many of these fonts are published under the SIL Open Font License, while others are published under the Apache license. Both are free software licenses.

Why do we use Google Fonts on our website? With Google Fonts we can use fonts on our own website, but don't have to upload them to our own server. Google Fonts is an important component in keeping the quality of our website high. All Google fonts are automatically optimized for the web and this saves data volume and is a great advantage, especially for use with mobile devices. When you visit our site, the small file size ensures a quick loading time. Furthermore, Google Fonts are secure web fonts. Different image synthesis systems (rendering) in different browsers, operating systems and mobile devices can lead to errors. Such errors can partially distort texts or entire websites. Thanks to the fast content delivery network (CDN), there are no cross-platform problems with Google Fonts. Google Fonts supports all common browsers (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera) and works reliably on most modern mobile operating systems, including Android 2.2+ and iOS 4.2+ (iPhone, iPad, iPod). So we use Google Fonts so that we can present our entire online service as beautifully and consistently as possible. Which data is saved by Google? When you visit our website, the fonts are downloaded from a Google server. This external call transfers data to the Google server. In this way, Google also recognizes that you or your IP address are visiting our website. The Google Fonts API was developed to reduce the use, storage and collection of end-user data to what is necessary for the proper provision of fonts. By the way, API stands for "Application Programming Interface" and serves, among other things, as a data transmitter in the software sector. Google Fonts stores CSS and font requests securely with Google and is therefore protected. With the usage figures collected, Google can determine how well the individual fonts are being received. Google publishes the results on internal analysis sites such as Google Analytics. Google also uses data from its own web crawler to determine which websites use Google fonts. This data is published in the BigQuery database by Google Fonts. Entrepreneurs and developers use the Google web service BigQuery to examine and move large amounts of data. It should be noted, however, that with every Google Font request, information such as language settings, IP address, version of the browser, screen resolution of the browser and the name of the browser are automatically transmitted to the Google server. It is not clear whether this data is saved or not clearly communicated by Google. How long and where will the data be stored? Google stores requests for CSS assets for one day on its servers, which are mainly located outside the EU. This enables us to use the fonts with the help of a Google stylesheet. A stylesheet is a format template that can be used to quickly and easily change the design or font of a website, for example. The font files are stored by Google for one year. With this, Google is pursuing the goal of fundamentally improving the loading time of websites. If millions of web pages refer to the same fonts, they are cached after the first visit and immediately reappear on all other web pages visited later. Sometimes Google updates font files to reduce file size, increase language coverage, and improve design. How can I delete my data or prevent data storage? The data that Google stores for a day or a year cannot simply be deleted. The data is automatically transmitted to Google when the page is accessed. In order to be able to delete this data prematurely, you must contact Google support at support.google.com. In this case, you only prevent data storage if you are not visiting our site. Unlike other web fonts, Google allows us unrestricted access to all fonts. We can therefore have unlimited access to a sea of ​​fonts and thus get the most out of our website. You can find more about Google Fonts and other questions at developers.google.com/fonts/faq. Although Google deals with data protection issues there, it does not contain any really detailed information about data storage. It is relatively difficult to get really precise information about stored data from Google.

You can also read which data is generally recorded by Google and what this data is used for at www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

These tools enable Facebook to expand its services and to receive information about user activities outside of Facebook. Why do we use Facebook tools on our website? We only want to show our services and products to people who are really interested in them. With the help of advertisements (Facebook ads) we can reach exactly these people. However, in order to be able to show users appropriate advertising, Facebook needs information about people's wishes and needs. Information about user behavior (and contact details) is made available to the company on our website. As a result, Facebook collects better user data and can show interested people the right advertising about our products or services. The tools thus enable tailor-made advertising campaigns on Facebook. Facebook calls data about your behavior on our website "event data". These are also used for measurement and analysis services. In this way, Facebook can create "campaign reports" on our behalf about the impact of our advertising campaigns. Furthermore, analyzes give us a better insight into how you use our services, website or products. This enables us to optimize your user experience on our website with some of these tools. For example, you can use the social plug-ins to share content on our site directly on Facebook. Which data are stored by Facebook tools? By using individual Facebook tools, personal data (customer data) can be sent to Facebook. Depending on the tools used, customer data such as name, address, telephone number and IP address can be sent. Facebook uses this information to compare the data with the data it has about you (if you are a Facebook member). So-called "hashing" takes place before customer data is transmitted to Facebook. This means that a data record of any size is transformed into a character string. This is also used to encrypt data. In addition to the contact details, "event data" are also transmitted. "Event data" means the information that we receive about you on our website. For example, which sub-pages you visit or which products you buy from us. Facebook does not share the information it receives with third parties (such as advertisers) unless the company has explicit permission or is legally obliged to do so. "Event data" can also be linked to contact details. This enables Facebook to offer better personalized advertising. After the already mentioned comparison process, Facebook deletes the contact data again. In order to be able to deliver advertisements in an optimized manner, Facebook only uses the event data if this has been combined with other data (which were recorded by Facebook in a different way). Facebook also uses this event data for security, protection, development and research purposes. Much of this data is transferred to Facebook via cookies. Cookies are small text files that are used to store data or information in browsers. Depending on the tools used and whether you are a Facebook member, a different number of cookies will be created in your browser. In the descriptions of the individual Facebook tools, we go into more detail on individual Facebook cookies. You can also find general information about the use of Facebook cookies at www.facebook.com/policies/cookies. How long and where is the data stored? In principle, Facebook stores data until it is no longer required for its own services and Facebook products . Facebook has servers all over the world where your data is stored. However, customer data will be deleted within 48 hours after it has been compared with your own user data.

How can I delete my data or prevent data storage? According to the General Data Protection Regulation, you have the right to information, correction, transferability and deletion of your data. A complete deletion of the data takes place only if you completely delete your Facebook account. And this is how deleting your Facebook account works:

XING data protection declaration On our website we use social plugins from the social media network Xing, the company Xing SE, Dammtorstraße 30, 20354 Hamburg, Germany. With these functions, you can, for example, share content on Xing directly via our website, log in via Xing or follow interesting content. You can recognize the plug-ins by the company name or the Xing logo. When you call up a website that uses a Xing plug-in, data can be transmitted to the “Xing server”, saved and evaluated. In this data protection declaration, we want to inform you about what data is involved and how you can manage or prevent this data storage. What is Xing? Xing is a social network with its headquarters in Hamburg. The company specializes in managing professional contacts. In other words, unlike other networks, Xing is primarily about professional networking. The platform is often used for job searches or to find employees for one's own company. In addition, Xing offers interesting content on various professional topics. The global counterpart to this is the American company LinkedIn. Why do we use Xing on our website? There is now a flood of social media channels and we are well aware that your time is very precious. Not every social media channel in a company can be examined carefully. We therefore want to make life as easy as possible for you so that you can share or follow interesting content directly on our website on Xing. We are expanding our service on our website with such “social plug-ins”. In addition, the data collected by Xing help us to carry out targeted advertising measures on the platform. This means that our service is only shown to people who are really interested in it. Which data is stored by Xing? Xing offers the share button, the follow button and the log-in button as plug-ins for websites. As soon as you open a page that has a built-in social plug-in from Xing, your browser connects to servers in a data center used by Xing. In the case of the share button - according to Xing - no data should be stored that could directly refer to a person. In particular, Xing does not save any of your IP addresses. Furthermore, no cookies are set in connection with the share button. This means that there is no analysis of your user behavior either. For more information, go to www.xing.com/app/share%3Fop%3Ddata_protection. With the other Xing plug-ins, cookies are only set in your browser when you interact with the plug-in or click on it. Personal data such as your IP address, browser data, date and time of your page access can be stored here on Xing. If you have a XING account and are logged in, the data collected will be assigned to your personal account and the data stored in it. The following cookies are set in your browser when you click on the follow or log-in button and not yet on Xing are logged in.
