Our legitimate interest is the functionality of our website. The user data collected by technically necessary cookies are not used to create user profiles. This safeguards your interest in terms of data protection.

(1) Facebook
We use social plugins from facebook.com, operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA. The plugins can be recognized by the Facebook logo or the addition “Facebook Social Plugin”. For example, if you click the “Like” button or leave a comment, the relevant information will be sent directly from your browser to Facebook and saved there. Furthermore, Facebook makes your preferences public for your Facebook friends. If you are logged in to Facebook, Facebook can assign your visit to our site directly to your Facebook account.

By using Google Maps, information about the use of this website, including your IP address and the (start) address entered as part of the route planner function, can be transmitted to Google in the USA. If you call up a page on our website that contains Google Maps, your browser establishes a direct connection with the Google servers.

(2) the processing is carried out using automated procedures.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data relating to you transmitted directly from us to another person responsible, insofar as this is technically feasible. This must not impair the freedoms and rights of other people.

You have the right, for reasons that arise from your particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of your personal data, which is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. e or f GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

9. Automated decision in individual cases including profiling

You have the right not to be subjected to a decision based solely on automated processing – including profiling – which has legal effects on you or which significantly affects you in a similar manner. This does not apply if the decision

  1. is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and us.

However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data in accordance with Art. 9 Para. 1 GDPR, unless Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. a or g applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests.

    With regard to the cases mentioned in (1) and (3), we take appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests.

10. Right to complain to a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of your place of residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement, if you are of the opinion that the processing of your personal data is against or violates the GDPR.
