Use of Google Maps
This website uses Google Maps API to display an interactive map and create directions.
By using Google Maps, information about your use of this website (including your IP address) may be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google may transfer the information obtained through Maps to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf.
Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. Nevertheless, it would be technically possible for Google to identify at least individual users on the basis of the data received. It would be possible that personal data and personality profiles of users of the website could be processed by Google for other purposes over which we have and can have no influence. You have the option of deactivating the Google Maps service and thus preventing the transfer of data to Google by deactivating JavaScript in your browser.

Data security and encryption
To protect your data from unwanted access, we use an encryption process on our pages. Your data is then transferred from your computer to our server and vice versa via the Internet using SSL encryption (Secure Socket Layer). You can recognize this by the fact that the lock symbol is closed on the status bar of your browser and the address line begins with https://. If SSL encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
We secure our website and other systems through technical and organizational measures against loss, destruction, access, modification or distribution of your data by unauthorized persons. We have established our security measures in accordance with generally accepted industry standards so that the personal data transmitted to us is protected as well as possible both during transmission and after receipt (e.g. by redundant line, UPS, alarm reporting system, air conditioning, email virus filter, email spam filter, backups, etc.). Nevertheless, no transmission over the Internet and no storage method is one hundred percent secure.
