Furthermore, the platform offers the visitor the possibility to withdraw any given consent at any time without giving reasons and thus to prevent the future processing of personal data by the respective software solution. Furthermore, with the help of the platform, we can meet the requirement resulting from the GDPR for consent management, which provides, among other things, the possibility to prove that consents have been given or not.
In the context of the use of the Usercentrics Consent Management Platform, the following data may be processed, among other things:
- Consent data
- Consent -ID
- Consent status (Opt-in, Opt-out)

The use of the Usercentrics Consent Management Platform and the associated processing of personal data serves to fulfill legal obligations within the meaning of Art. 6 I 1 lit. c GDPR. Thus, the use of the platform is necessary both to comply with the obligation to provide documentary evidence within the meaning of Art. 5 II GDPR and the legal obligation resulting from the judgment "ECLI:EU:C:2019:801" of the European Court of Justice and the related judgment "I ZR 7/16" of the German Federal Court of Justice, according to which § 15 III 1 of the German Telemedia Act (TMG) is to be interpreted with regard to Art. 5 III 1 of Directive 2020/58/EC in such a way that the service provider may only use cookies to create usage profiles for the purposes of advertising or market research with the consent of the user.
Deletion of your personal data in connection with the use of the Usercentrics Consent Management Platform will take place as soon as it is no longer required to fulfill the purpose. In case of withdrawal of consent, we retain the information regarding the withdrawal for three years. The retention results on the one hand from the accountability according to Art. 5 II GDPR and on the other hand from the regular statute of limitations according to § 195 German Civil Code (BGB). The period of this limitation begins according to § 199 BGB with the end of the year in which the claim arose. Thus, the statute of limitations begins at the end of December 31 of the year in which the withdrawal occurred and ends three years later on December 31 at 00:00.
9.5 Process activity - Special Fonts

On our website, we use fonts from Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. These fonts are grouped together by Google under the name Google Fonts. By using Google Fonts, no cookies are set on your terminal device. The fonts are loaded and integrated via the corresponding application programming interfaces (APIs for short) from Google (fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com). The request to load and integrate the Google Fonts takes place shortly after your visit to our website. The request transmits personal data such as your IP address or the version of your browser to the Google servers and requests the corresponding cascading style sheets (CSS files) and font files from Google. Style sheets are files that are used to change the design of a website, such as the font or font size. A font file contains any information about how the font is displayed. Requests for CSS files are stored by Google for one day and requests for font files are stored for one year.
Due to Google's localization, the transfer of your personal data to Google may involve a third country transfer, i.e. a transfer of personal data to a destination that is neither in the European Union nor in the European Economic Area, such as the USA.
The legal basis for the processing of your personal data in the context of the use of Google Fonts is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 I 1 lit. a GDPR. A potential transfer of your personal data to a third country in the context of the use of Google Fonts (third country transfer) takes place exclusively on the basis of an appropriate safeguard. In this case, this appropriate safeguard is your consent pursuant to Art. 49 I lit. a GDPR.

9.9 Processing activity – Business partner localization / Google Maps
On our website we embed the service Google Maps. This service is operated by the Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (hereinafter: Google). Google Maps is a digital map service that enables us to include interactive maps on our website, to give you an overview of our locations and partners in your vicinity and to offer the possibility to plan your route.
By visiting a subpage where Google Maps is embedded, Google sets the cookie with the name "NID" in your browser, which results in a transfer of your personal data, such as your IP address to Google. For further information on the topic of cookies, please refer to "7. cookies". If there is a user account for you at Google, in which you are logged in at the time of visiting the corresponding subpage, the data transferred to Google will be directly allocated to your user account. If such an allocation is not desired, you must log out of your Google account before you visit the corresponding subpage. However, Google will process your personal data even if you are not logged in to a Google user account. Google will use the transferred data to create user profiles for the purpose of demand-oriented advertising and market research. You can object to this type of processing by Google at any time by asserting your right to object to Google in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR.
Due to the localization of Google, the transfer of your personal data to Google may involve a transfer to a third country, i.e. a transfer of personal data to a destination that is neither in the European Union nor the European Economic Area, such as the USA.
The legal basis for the processing of your personal data in the context of the use of Google Maps is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 I 1 lit. a GDPR. A potential transfer of your personal data to a third country in the context of the use of Google Maps (transfer to third countries) is solely carried out on the basis of an appropriate safeguard.
