The information generated in this process is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The USA is considered an unsafe third country. Only the data entered by the user is processed.
The legal basis for processing personal data is Art. 6 (1)(a) of the GDPR in conjunction with § 25 TDDDG.
We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google based on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR to ensure the security of this data processing. Furthermore, we fully comply with the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.
