7. Use of Google Maps to provide a specialist retailer proximity search
We use Google Maps (API) from Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”) on our website. Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive maps in order to visually display geographical information.
Already when accessing the subpages in which the Google Maps map is integrated, information about your use of our website (e.g. your IP address) is transferred to Google's servers in the USA and stored there. This happens regardless of whether Google provides a user account under which you are logged in or whether there is no user account. When you are logged in to Google, your information is directly associated with your account. If you do not want your profile to be associated with Google, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them. Collection, storage and evaluation are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1(f) GDPR on the basis of Google's legitimate interests in the display of personalised advertising, market research and/or the demand-oriented design of Google websites. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, in which case you must contact Google in order to exercise this right.
Google LLC, with headquarters in the USA, is certified for the US-European data protection agreement “Privacy Shield”, which guarantees compliance with the data protection level in force in the EU.
If you do not consent to the future transmission of your data to Google within the scope of the use of Google Maps, it is also possible to completely deactivate the Google Maps web service by deactivating the JavaScript application in your browser. Google Maps, and thus also the map display on this website, can then no longer be used.
You can view Google's terms of use at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/terms/regional.html. The additional terms of use for Google Maps can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/de_US/help/terms_maps.html
