- If you have given us your express consent by clicking on a button provided for this purpose, we use the "Facebook pixel" of Facebook Inc, 1601 S.

The data collected is anonymous to us and does not allow us to draw any conclusions about the identity of the user. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with the Facebook Data Usage Policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/).

Google may transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf.


Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. Nevertheless, it would be technically possible for Google to use the user data obtained through the use of Google Maps to identify users, to create personality profiles of users or to process and use it for third-party purposes, over which we have and can have no influence.
