The aim is to explain how our services work and how the protection of your personal data is guaranteed.
According to Art. 4 no.

to object to the processing of personal data at any time.
We will then no longer process the personal data for the purposes of direct marketing or related profiling.

We will also not process your personal data for other purposes following an objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims (cf.
for example Art. 21 para.
1 GDPR, so-called ” Limited right of objection“).
In this case, you must provide reasons for the objection that arise from your particular situation.

You may also object to the processing of your personal data for reasons arising from your particular situation, for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 para.
1 GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest (cf. Art. 21 para. 6 GDPR). We will also draw your attention to the right to object separately in the individual sections (e.g. by stating: “You have the right to object”) if this right exists.
There you will also find further information on exercising your right to object.
In order to keep the following data protection declaration clear, we refer at various points to information and data protection notices on external websites by means of links.
We make every effort to keep the links listed in this privacy policy up to date.

You can find more information on this at https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/frameworks/.
We ourselves cannot influence which data Google actually collects and processes.
However, Google states that the following information (including personal data) may be processed:

If you are signed in to your Google Account, Google may add the processed information to your account and treat it as personal data, depending on your account settings, see in particular https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/partners/.
