On our website, we incorporate map material from OpenStreetMap (OpenStreetMap Foundation, 132 Maney Hill Road, Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands B72 1JU, United Kingdom; hereinafter referred to as “OpenStreetMap”), which collects freely usable geodata and stores it in a database for free use.

 

Whenever you interact with OpenStreetMap on this website (e.g. search by company, region, continent, organizational unit), a connection is established to the OpenStreetMap Foundation servers and data is transferred to the OpenStreetMap Foundation in order to display embedded maps.

 

When a connection is established to display the maps, the following data is transmitted to OpenStreetMap servers IP address, browser and device used, operating system, website from which you were redirected to the OpenStreetMap Foundation page (referring web page) and the date and time of your visit to the website. If the settings on your device allow you to be located, your location can be recorded and transmitted to OpenStreetMap.

Data is only collected as part of this service after you have given your express consent.

We would like to get in touch with you and other interested parties, customers and users. We use various social networks for this purpose. You can find out which individual social networks we use in the following section.

 

As a rule, data is collected which is used for market research and advertising purposes. Such data includes the assignment of your visit to our website to your user account with the social network or the assignment by means of your stored cookies or your IP address. This is usually done by creating user profiles and the resulting interests. This makes it possible to display customized advertising, both within and outside the social network. As a result, cookies may be stored on your computer when you use social networks. However, we would like to point out that we generally have no influence on what data is collected.

Through the social media sites, we would like to provide you with information in the simplest and fastest way possible or give you the opportunity to share such information.
