the forwarding is rightful without your consent or, if this is not the case, you have explicitly consented to the forwarding exceeding the processing of the contract,
the forwarding is necessary for executing special offers or providing services, which you would like to use, or

an enforceable official or judicial order exists, or
it is necessary to lawfully prevent improper use of our offers and services, especially a use breaching the general terms and conditions of the publishing house or special terms of use.

6. Google Maps and Google Webfonts / Google Fonts

This website uses Google Maps API to visually represent geographic information. When using Google Maps, Google will also collect, process and use data about the use of the card functions by visitors. For more information about Google’s data processing, please refer to the Google Privacy policy. You can also change your personal data protection settings in the Privacy Center.

You can find detailed instructions on how to manage your own data in connection with Google products here.

We use script libraries and font libraries such as Google Webfonts (https://www.google.com/webfonts/) on this website to display our content in a browser-spanning and graphically appealing way. Google Webfonts are transferred to the cache of your browser to avoid multiple loading. If the browser does not support or prevents access to Google Webfonts, content is displayed in a standard font.

Calling script libraries or font libraries automatically triggers a connection to the library’s operator. It is theoretically possible – but currently also unclear whether and if necessary for what purposes – that operators of corresponding libraries collect data.
The data protection policy of the library operator Google can be found here: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/
