The provider of this technology is devowl.io GmbH, Tannet 12, 94539 Grafling, Germany.

Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected. Polylang (Language Settings) We use the Polylang plugin to enable the multilingualism of our website.

5. Plugins and Tools
Google Maps This site uses the map service Google Maps. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. To ensure data protection, Google Maps is deactivated by default on this website. A direct connection to Google’s servers is only established if you activate the map yourself by clicking on it (consent according to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). This prevents your data from being transferred to Google simply by entering the page. Once the map is activated, your IP address is transferred to Google and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transfer. More information on handling user data can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en. YouTube This website embeds videos from the website YouTube. The operator of the pages is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Here too, we use a solution that prevents data from being transferred to YouTube before you actively click on the video. Only when you start playback do you consent to the data transfer. Further information on data protection at YouTube can be found in their privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.
