Revocation of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time. All you need to do is send us an informal e-mail. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to object to the collection of data in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
If data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e or f GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data concerned unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR).

The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only take place if it is technically feasible.
SSL or TLS encryption
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "https://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Encrypted payment transactions on this website
If there is an obligation to provide us with your payment data (e.g. account number for direct debit authorization) after the conclusion of a fee-based contract, this data is required for payment processing.
Payment transactions via the usual means of payment (Visa/MasterCard, direct debit) are made exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "https://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
With encrypted communication, the payment data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Information, blocking, deletion and correction
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of the data processing and, if necessary, a right to correction, blocking or deletion of this data at any time.

- If the processing of your personal data was/is carried out unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
- If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defense or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
- If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data - apart from its storage - may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.

Google Analytics cookies are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the analysis of user behavior in order to optimize both its website and its advertising.
Cookies
Some of the Internet pages use so-called cookies. Cookies do not damage your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies are used to make our website more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

4. plugins and tools
Google Web Fonts
What are Google Fonts and what exactly is involved?
Google Fonts are free to use and can be used freely. It is not necessary to create an account to use Google Fonts. Google Fonts also do not set cookies. The CSS files that are responsible for the design of a website contain the Google Fonts or the control of these fonts. Google Fonts can be accessed at the addresses fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com. According to Google itself, queries for CSS and fonts are separate from each other and cannot be linked to Google services. Many of you probably use a Google account. Even if you have one, you do not have to worry about your account data being matched with the use of Google fonts. Google only records CSS usage and font usage. The data is stored securely.
Google Fonts is an interactive directory from Google. Google makes several hundred different fonts freely available in this directory. The valid license for this is SIL OPEN FONT LICENSE. Google is the company Google Inc. Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland, is responsible for Google services in Europe.
The properties of Google Fonts
Why we use Google Fonts on our website
Google Fonts are loaded externally. This means that we do not have to load them onto our server. While there used to be hardly any fonts for the web, all Google Fonts are optimized for use on the Internet, which ultimately also saves data volume. Mobile devices in particular benefit from this. Thanks to a powerful CDN (Content Delivery Network), there are no cross-platform problems. In addition, Google Fonts support all common browsers and are displayed uniformly on different systems. You therefore have a certain degree of design security and it is highly unlikely that websites will be displayed in a visually distorted manner.
What data does Google retrieve with Google Fonts?
When you visit our website, the Google Fonts or fonts used on the website are loaded via the Google server. This is an external data retrieval. This external retrieval sends data to the Google server. Google recognizes your IP and can determine that your IP is visiting our website. The systems also recognize your language settings, the browser used, the screen resolution and the device.
Google also stores CSS, fonts and requests securely on Google. Google collects the number of uses. This is how the quality of a font is assessed.
Google provides statistics, e.g. in Google Analytics.
How long is data stored?
This type of request is stored for a period of one day. The servers for this are mainly located in the EU.
The font files are stored by Google for one year. Reason: The loading time should be largely reduced in a user-friendly way.
How can storage be prevented and how can data be deleted?
To delete the data, a support request must be sent to Google: https://support.google.com/?hl=de&tid=111942083
You prevent data storage by not visiting the site.
You can find out more about Google Fonts and other questions at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq?tid=111942083.
The current legal basis
In the event that you have consented to the use of Google Fonts, this consent is the legal basis for data processing. This consent is the legal basis for the processing of personal data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent) in the manner in which they may be processed when Google Fonts are reloaded.
Legitimate interest
We, as the operator of the website, have a legitimate interest in using these fonts from Google. We always want to optimize our online services for our customers, see Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interests).
It is difficult to influence where Google processes the data. It can be assumed that the data is also processed in the USA. In the opinion of the European Court of Justice, there is no adequate level of protection.
Google uses standard contractual clauses (= Art. 46 (2) and (3) GDPR) for recipients based in third countries or where data is transferred there. These are provided by the EU Commission and are templates designed to ensure that your data complies with European data protection standards even if it is transferred to third countries (such as the USA) and stored there. Through these clauses, Google undertakes to comply with the European level of data protection when processing your relevant data, even if the data is stored, processed and managed in the USA. These clauses are based on an implementing decision of the EU Commission.
The resolution can be found at
https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oj?locale=de
