Data processing by implemented plug-ins
Google web fonts
This site uses Google web fonts. The provider is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Your browser establishes a direct link to the Google servers in the USA to load the displayed fonts and effects.
Google collects personal data for this. This includes at least your IP address as well as other device data and software information. Google uses this information to carry out inter-website tracking and creates pseudonymised usage profiles in the process. No link to other personal data such as name or address takes place but the possibility cannot be totally ruled out.
This is imperative for the use of plug-ins and we have no influence on the data collected by Google via Google web fonts. If you wish to prevent this, you can install the plug-ins listed under the following link: https://www.privacy-handbuch.de/handbuch_21q.htm. This restricts the collection of data by Google.
For further information about Google web fonts and the data privacy settings, please see the data privacy notes (https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de) and terms of use (https://policies.google.com/terms?hl=de) of Google Inc.
