Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the controller will be stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. No disclosure of this personal data to third parties will take place.

15. Use of Google reCaptcha
To protect their orders via Internet form, we use the service reCAPTCHA of the company Google Inc (Google). The query serves to distinguish whether the input is made by a human being or improperly by automated, machine processing. The query includes the sending of the IP address and possibly other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. For this purpose, your input is transmitted to Google and further used there. By using reCaptcha, you agree that the recognition you provide will be used for the digitization of old works. However, in the event that IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be truncated beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of this service. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of reCaptcha will not be merged with any other data held by Google. The deviating data protection provisions of the Google company apply to this data. You can find more information about Google’s privacy policy at: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/ .
16. Google Maps use
This website uses the “Google Maps API” of the company Google Inc. (Google) for the visual display of map material. When using Google Maps, Google also collects, processes and uses data about the use of the Maps functions by visitors to the websites. The terms of use for Google Maps can be found at Terms of Use for Google Maps. Further information on Google’s privacy policy can be found at: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/ .
17. Google Tag Manager
This website uses the Google Tag Manager. Through this service, website tags can be managed through an interface. The Google Tool Manager only implements tags. This means that no cookies are used and no personal data is collected. The Google Tool Manager triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. However, the Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made at domain or cookie level, it remains in place for all tracking tags, insofar as these are implemented with the Google Tag Manager.
