b) The links and information on this homepage are provided for information exchange purposes only and do not establish any business or professional relationships of any kind. They are not to be understood as legal or tax advice, but are purely for information purposes. Please contact your tax advisor or lawyer before making any business decisions.
c) Liability claims against the owner relating to material or immaterial damage caused by the use or non-use of the information provided or by the use of incorrect or incomplete information are fundamentally excluded, unless there is evidence of intentional or grossly negligent fault on the part of the owner.

2. Data protection
Every time the website is accessed and a file is retrieved, data about this process is stored and processed in a log file. In detail, the following data is stored for each access/retrieval:
Date / time

The data is processed and evaluated exclusively for statistical purposes. The access statistics kept do not allow any conclusions to be drawn about personal data. When individual pages are accessed, so-called temporary cookies are used to make navigation easier. These session cookies do not contain any personal data and expire at the end of the session. Java applets and Active-X controls are not used. If you contact us via the contact form, the personal data you provide will be used exclusively to process your request or application. The personal data will not be included in our electronic database. It will not be passed on to third parties. Please note that data transmission via the contact form is unencrypted - we cannot therefore rule out the possibility that the data may be read or changed by third parties during electronic transmission to us. For confidential messages, please use the conventional postal service.

3. References and links
a) References to specialist articles on the Internet are made purely for non-commercial, informational reasons. The rights to the specialist articles belong exclusively to the persons quoted therein. If a link is not legal due to legal restrictions or is not desired by the owner of the website, the reference will be deleted immediately upon notification by the rights holder.
All links and mentions of specialist articles, people, law firms and other data on this homepage are not to be understood as an evaluation. In the case of specialist articles, people, law firms and other data that could also belong to the categories shown but are not mentioned, this omission should not be seen as a disrespect. The selection should therefore not be understood as an evaluation.
b) If references are made directly or indirectly to links that lie outside the area of responsibility of the owner, the owner is only liable if he has demonstrable knowledge of the content and it would be technically possible and reasonable for him to prevent use in the event of illegal content. The provider of these pages is solely liable for any additional content and in particular for damages resulting from the use or non-use of information presented in this way, not the person who merely refers to the respective publication via links. This restriction also applies equally to third-party entries in guest books, discussion forums and mailing lists etc. set up by the owner. The author in question is therefore solely responsible for the content of third-party pages, as we have no influence whatsoever on the design and content of the pages we link to. We therefore expressly distance ourselves from the content of third-party pages as a precautionary measure in accordance with the decision of the Hamburg Regional Court of May 12, 1998.

4. Network
All portals based on PortUNA.cms are interconnected. Information is therefore also assigned to other portals by topic and region. (Example: events in a municipality are also shown on a nationwide portal.) Users who register on this portal can also register on other portals in the network.

5. Copyright
a) The owner endeavors to respect the copyrights of the graphics, sounds and texts used in all publications, to use graphics, sounds and texts created by himself or to use license-free graphics, sounds and texts. Should there be an unmarked graphic, sound or text on the respective pages that is protected by third-party copyright, the owner was unable to determine the copyright. In the event of such an unintentional copyright infringement, the owner will remove the relevant object from his publication after notification or mark it with the appropriate copyright.
b) The copyright for published objects created by the owner himself remains solely with the owner of the pages. Reproduction or use of such graphics, sounds or texts in other electronic or printed publications is only permitted with the express consent of the owner. Violations will be prosecuted under civil and criminal law.

6. Legal validity of this disclaimer
This disclaimer is to be regarded as part of the internet offer from which this page was referred. If parts or individual formulations of this text do not, no longer or not completely correspond to the applicable legal situation, the remaining parts of the document remain unaffected in their content and validity.

Privacy

We are very pleased that you are interested in our company. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of Haus der Familientherapie. The use of the Internet pages of Haus der Familientherapie is possible without any indication of personal data; however, if a data subject wants to use special enterprise services via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent from the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the House of Family Therapy. By means of this data protection declaration, our enterprise would like to inform the general public of the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this data protection declaration.

As the controller, Haus der Familientherapie has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions may have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us via alternative means, e.g. by telephone.

1. Definitions

The data protection declaration of the Haus der Familientherapie is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection declaration should be easily readable and understandable for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.

In this privacy policy we use, among others, the following terms:

  • a) personal data

Personal data is all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as the “data subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

  • b) data subject

A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.

  • c) Processing

Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

  • d) Restriction of processing

Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting its future processing.

  • e) Profiling

Profiling is any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.

  • f) Pseudonymisation

Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

  • g) Controller or person responsible for processing

The controller or person responsible for processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for his or her nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.

  • h) Processors

A processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

  • i) Recipient

Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to which personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular investigation in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be considered recipients.

  • j) Third party

Third party means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons authorised to process personal data under the direct responsibility of the controller or processor.

  • k) Consent

Consent is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data concerning him or her.

2. Name and address of the controller

The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection laws applicable in the member states of the European Union and other provisions of a data protection nature is:

House of Family Therapy

Am Gries 7

97332 Volkach - Fahr

Germany

Phone: (09381) 846 13 13

E-mail: info@haus-der-familientherapie.de

Website: www.haus-der-familientherapie.de

The Internet pages of the House of Family Therapy use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an Internet browser.

Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier for the cookie. It consists of a character string that allows websites and servers to be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the websites and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID.

Through the use of cookies, the House of Family Therapy can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

Cookies can be used to optimize the information and offers on our website for the benefit of the user. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to enter their login details every time they visit the website because this is done by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart using a cookie.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

Cookie consent with ccm19 cookie consent manager

In order to obtain your consent for cookies and cookie-based applications and to document this in compliance with data protection regulations, our website uses the cookie consent technology CCM19. The provider of this technology is Papoo Software & Media GmbH, Auguststr. 4 in 53229 Bonn, represented by Dr. Carsten Euwens.

The CCM19 Cookie Consent technology is used to obtain the legally required consent for the use of cookies and cookie-based applications. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 Para. 1 Clause 1 Letter c of GDPR.

By integrating a corresponding JavaScript code, a banner will be displayed when you visit our website, which you can use to give your consent or rejection of cookies and cookie-based applications. As long as you do not give your consent, CCM19 blocks the setting of cookies that require consent. The CCM19 Cookie Consent Manager collects certain user information (including the IP address) so that page views can be assigned to individual users and the consent settings made by the user can be individually recorded, logged and saved for a session. This data is not passed on to the provider of CCM19. The data collected is stored until you delete the CCM19 cookie yourself or request us to delete it or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

5. Collection of general data and information

The website of the Haus der Familientherapie collects a series of general data and information each time the website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following may be collected: (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information used to avert dangers in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using this general data and information, the House of Family Therapy does not draw any conclusions about the person concerned. Rather, this information is required to (1) correctly deliver the contents of our website, (2) optimize the contents of our website and its advertising, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for law enforcement in the event of a cyber-attack. This anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated by the House of Family Therapy both statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data in the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a person concerned.

6. Contact option via the website

Due to legal regulations, the website of Haus der Familientherapie contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our company and direct communication with us, which also includes a general address for so-called electronic mail (email address). If a data subject contacts the controller by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the controller are stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data is not passed on to third parties.

7. Routine deletion and blocking of personal data

The controller shall process and store personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as this is granted by the European legislator or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

If the purpose of storage no longer applies, or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

8. Rights of the data subject

  • a) Right to confirmation

Each data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain confirmation from the controller as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her are being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of confirmation, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.

  • b) Right to information

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller at any time free information about the personal data stored about him or her and a copy of this information. Furthermore, the European legislator has granted the data subject the right to information about the following information:

  • the processing purposes
  • the categories of personal data being processed
  • the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organisations
  • where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period
  • the existence of a right to rectification or erasure of personal data concerning them or to restriction of processing by the controller or a right to object to such processing
  • the existence of a right of complaint to a supervisory authority
  • if the personal data are not collected from the data subject: All available information about the origin of the data
  • the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22 (1) and (4) GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject

Furthermore, the data subject has the right to obtain information as to whether personal data have been transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. If this is the case, the data subject also has the right to obtain information about the appropriate safeguards in connection with the transfer.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to information, he or she may contact any employee of the controller at any time.

  • c) Right to rectification

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to request the immediate rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her. Furthermore, taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject has the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data, also by means of providing a supplementary statement.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, he or she may contact any employee of the controller at any time.

  • d) Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to request the controller to erase personal data concerning him or her without undue delay, where one of the following reasons applies and to the extent that processing is not necessary:

  • The personal data were collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which they are no longer necessary.
  • The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based according to point (a) of Art. 6(1) GDPR or point (a) of Art. 9(2) GDPR, and where there is no other legal ground for the processing.
  • The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 1 GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 2 GDPR.
  • The personal data were processed unlawfully.
  • The erasure of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
  • The personal data were collected in relation to information society services offered in accordance with Art. 8 Para. 1 GDPR.

If one of the above reasons applies and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by Haus der Familientherapie, he or she may contact an employee of the controller at any time. The employee of Haus der Familientherapie will ensure that the erasure request is complied with immediately.

If the personal data was made public by the House of Family Therapy and our company as the controller pursuant to Art. 17 Para. 1 GDPR is obliged to erase the personal data, the House of Family Therapy shall take appropriate measures, including technical ones, taking into account the available technology and the implementation costs, in order to inform other data controllers which process the published personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure by such controllers of all links to these personal data or of copies or replications of these personal data, unless processing is required. The employee of the House of Family Therapy will arrange the necessary measures in individual cases.

  • e) Right to restriction of processing

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to request the controller to restrict processing if one of the following conditions applies:

  • The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
  • The processing is unlawful, the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of the use of the personal data instead.
  • The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but the data subject needs them to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
  • The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 1 GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

If one of the aforementioned conditions is met, and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of the processing of personal data stored by the Haus der Familientherapie, he or she may at any time contact any employee of the controller. The employee of the Haus der Familientherapie will arrange the restriction of the processing.

  • f) Right to data portability

Each person concerned by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which was made available to a controller, in a structured, common and machine-readable format. He or she also has the right to transmit these data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data was made available, as long as the processing is based on consent pursuant to point (a) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR or on a contract pursuant to point (b) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

Furthermore, in exercising his or her right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20(1) GDPR, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and when doing so does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

To assert the right to data portability, the data subject may contact any employee of Haus der Familientherapie at any time.

  • g) Right to object

Any person concerned by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to object at any time, for reasons related to his or her particular situation, to processing of personal data concerning him or her which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

In the event of an objection, Haus der Familientherapie will no longer process the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which outweigh the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

If the Haus der Familientherapie processes personal data in order to conduct direct advertising, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for the purposes of such advertising. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct advertising. If the data subject objects to the Haus der Familientherapie to the processing for direct marketing purposes, the Haus der Familientherapie will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.

In addition, the data subject has the right, for reasons related to his or her particular situation, to object to processing of personal data concerning him or her by the Haus der Familientherapie for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 (1) GDPR, unless the processing is necessary to perform a task carried out for reasons of public interest.

To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact any employee of the Haus der Familientherapie or another employee directly. In addition, the data subject is free in the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise his or her right of objection by automated means using technical specifications.

  • h) Automated decisions in individual cases, including profiling

Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her or similarly significantly affects him or her, unless the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is not authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is not based on the data subject’s explicit consent.

Where the decision (1) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller or (2) is made with the data subject’s explicit consent, Haus der Familientherapie shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.

If the data subject wishes to exercise rights with regard to automated decisions, he or she may contact any employee of the controller at any time.

  • i) Right to withdraw consent under data protection law

Any person concerned by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to withdraw his or her consent to processing of personal data at any time.

If the data subject wishes to exercise his or her right to withdraw consent, he or she may contact any employee of the controller at any time.

9. Legal basis for processing

Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of enquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, such as to fulfill tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third parties. In that case, the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases if the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, Sentence 2 GDPR).

10. Legitimate interests in the processing pursued by the controller or by a third party

If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.

11. Period for which personal data will be stored

The criterion for the duration of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of the period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted unless it is no longer required to fulfill or initiate a contract.

12. Legal or contractual provisions for the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of non-provision

We would like to inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also arise from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data in order to conclude a contract, which we must subsequently process. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with him or her. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before the data subject provides personal data, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what the consequences of non-provision of the personal data would be.

13. Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we do not use automated decision-making or profiling.

Google Fonts Privacy Policy

We use Google Fonts on our website. These are the "Google fonts" from Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). You do not need to log in or enter a password to use Google fonts. Furthermore, no cookies are stored in your browser. The files (CSS, fonts) are requested via the Google domains fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com. According to Google, requests for CSS and fonts are completely separate from all other Google services. If you have a Google account, you do not need to worry about your Google account data being sent to Google while you are using Google Fonts. Google records the use of CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and the fonts used and stores this data securely. We will look at exactly how the data is stored in more detail.

What are Google Fonts?

Google Fonts (formerly Google Web Fonts) is a directory of over 800 fonts that Google LLC makes available to its users free of charge. Many of these fonts are published under the SIL Open Font License, while others are published under the Apache License. Both are free software licenses.

Why do we use Google Fonts on our website?

With Google Fonts, we can use fonts on our own website and do not have to upload them to our own server. Google Fonts is an important building block for maintaining the high quality of our website. All Google fonts are automatically optimized for the web, which saves data volume and is a great advantage, especially for use on mobile devices. When you visit our site, the small file size ensures a quick loading time. Furthermore, Google Fonts are secure web fonts. Different image synthesis systems (rendering) in different browsers, operating systems and mobile devices can lead to errors. Such errors can visually distort some texts or entire web pages. Thanks to the fast Content Delivery Network (CDN), there are no cross-platform problems with Google Fonts. Google Fonts supports all common browsers (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera) and works reliably on most modern mobile operating systems, including Android 2.2 and iOS 4.2 (iPhone, iPad, iPod). We use Google Fonts so that we can display our entire online service as beautifully and consistently as possible.

What data does Google store?

When you visit our website, the fonts are reloaded via a Google server. This external call transmits data to the Google servers. This is how Google recognizes that you or your IP address are visiting our website. The Google Fonts API was developed to reduce the use, storage and collection of end user data to what is necessary for the proper provision of fonts. API stands for "Application Programming Interface" and serves, among other things, as a data transmitter in the software sector. Google Fonts stores CSS and font requests securely with Google and is thus protected. The collected usage figures enable Google to determine how well the individual fonts are received. Google publishes the results on internal analysis pages, such as Google Analytics. Google also uses data from its own web crawler to determine which websites use Google fonts. This data is published in the Google Fonts BigQuery database. Entrepreneurs and developers use the Google web service BigQuery to examine and move large amounts of data. However, it should be noted that every Google Font request automatically transfers information such as language settings, IP address, browser version, browser screen resolution and browser name to the Google servers. It is not clear whether this data is stored and Google does not clearly communicate this.

How long and where is the data stored?

Google stores requests for CSS assets for one day on its servers, which are mainly located outside the EU. This enables us to use the fonts with the help of a Google style sheet. A style sheet is a format template that can be used to quickly and easily change the design or font of a website, for example. The font files are stored by Google for one year. Google's goal is to fundamentally improve the loading time of websites. If millions of websites link to the same fonts, they are cached after the first visit and immediately appear on all other websites visited later. Google sometimes updates font files to reduce file size, increase language coverage, and improve design.

How can I delete my data or prevent data storage?

The data that Google stores for one day or one year cannot simply be deleted. The data is automatically transmitted to Google when the page is accessed. To be able to delete this data early, you must contact Google Support on https://support.google.com/?hl=de&tid=211119504 In this case, you can only prevent data storage if you do not visit our site.

Unlike other web fonts, Google allows us unrestricted access to all fonts. This means we have unlimited access to a sea of fonts and can get the most out of our website. You can find out more about Google Fonts and other questions on https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq?tid=211119504 Although Google addresses data protection issues there, it does not contain any really detailed information about data storage. It is relatively difficult to get really precise information about stored data from Google.

You can also find out which data is generally collected by Google and what this data is used for on https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/ read more.

This privacy policy has been generated by the privacy policy generator of the DGD Deutsche Gesellschaft für Datenschutz GmbH, which acts as External Data Protection Officer Munich in cooperation with the Data protection lawyer Christian Solmecke created.
