Google Maps Privacy Policy

Google Maps Privacy Policy

We use Google Maps provided by Google Inc. on our website. For the European region, Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all Google services. Google Maps allows us to better display locations and thereby adapt our service to your needs. By using Google Maps, data is transmitted to Google and stored on Google servers. Here, we want to go into more detail about what Google Maps is, why we use this Google service, what data is stored, and how you can prevent this.

Google Maps is an internet mapping service provided by Google. With Google Maps, you can search for precise locations of cities, sights, accommodations, or businesses online via a PC, tablet, or app. If businesses are represented on Google My Business, additional information about the company is displayed alongside the location. To display directions, map sections of a location can be embedded into a website using HTML code. Google Maps shows the Earth's surface as a street map or as an aerial or satellite image. Thanks to Street View images and high-quality satellite images, very precise representations are possible.

Why do we use Google Maps on our website?

All our efforts on this site pursue the goal of offering you a useful and meaningful time on our website. By integrating Google Maps, we can provide you with the most important information about various locations. You can see at a glance where our company headquarters are located. The directions always show you the best and fastest route to us. You can retrieve travel routes for driving, public transport, walking, or cycling. For us, providing Google Maps is part of our customer service.

What data is stored by Google Maps?

In order for Google Maps to fully offer its service, the company must collect and store data from you. This includes, among other things, the search terms entered, your IP address, and also latitude and longitude coordinates. If you use the route planner function, the starting address entered is also stored. However, this data storage happens on the Google Maps websites. We can only inform you about this but have no influence over it. Since we have integrated Google Maps into our website, Google sets at least one cookie (named: NID) in your browser. This cookie stores data about your user behavior. Google uses this data primarily to optimize its own services and to provide individual, personalized advertising for you.

The following cookie is set in your browser due to the integration of Google Maps:

Name: NID
Value: 188=h26c1Ktha7fCQTx8rXgLyATyITJ312870343-5
Purpose: NID is used by Google to customize advertisements across Google searches. With the help of this cookie, Google "remembers" your most frequently entered search queries or your previous interaction with ads. This ensures you always receive tailored advertisements. The cookie contains a unique ID that Google uses to collect your personal settings for advertising purposes.
Expiration date: after 6 months

Note: We cannot guarantee completeness regarding the details of the stored data. Changes can never be ruled out, especially concerning the use of cookies. To identify the NID cookie, a separate test page was created where exclusively Google Maps was integrated.

How long and where is the data stored?

Google servers are located in data centers all over the world. However, most servers are located in America. For this reason, your data is increasingly stored in the USA. You can read exactly where the Google data centers are located here: https://www.google.com/about/datacenters/locations/?hl=de

Google distributes the data across different storage media. This makes the data accessible more quickly and protects it better against potential manipulation attempts. Every data center also has special emergency programs. If, for example, there are problems with Google hardware or a natural disaster disables the servers, the data is still highly likely to remain protected.

Google stores some data for a specified period of time. For other data, Google only offers the option to delete it manually. Furthermore, the company anonymizes information (such as advertising data) in server logs by deleting part of the IP address and cookie information after 9 or 18 months, respectively.

How can I delete my data or prevent data storage?

With the automatic deletion function for location and activity data introduced in 2019, information for location determination and web/app activity is stored for either 3 or 18 months—depending on your choice—and then deleted. In addition, you can manually delete this data from your history via your Google account at any time. If you want to completely prevent your location from being tracked, you must pause the "Web & App Activity" section in your Google account. Click on "Data & personalization" and then on the "Activity controls" option. Here, you can switch the activities on or off.

Furthermore, you can disable, delete, or manage individual cookies in your browser. Depending on which browser you use, this always works slightly differently. Under the "Cookies" section, you will find the corresponding links to the respective instructions for the most popular browsers.

If you fundamentally do not want cookies, you can configure your browser so that it always informs you when a cookie is to be set. This allows you to decide for every single cookie whether to allow it or not.

Legal Basis

If you have consented to the use of Google Maps, the legal basis for the corresponding data processing is this consent. According to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR (Consent), this consent constitutes the legal basis for processing personal data, as may occur when collected by Google Maps. Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a DSGVO (Einwilligung) die Rechtsgrundlage für die Verarbeitung personenbezogener Daten, wie sie bei der Erfassung durch Google Maps vorkommen kann, dar.

Furthermore, we have a legitimate interest in using Google Maps to optimize our online service. The corresponding legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (Legitimate interests). Nevertheless, we only deploy Google Maps to the extent that you have granted consent. Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f DSGVO (Berechtigte Interessen). Wir setzen Google Maps gleichwohl nur ein, soweit Sie eine Einwilligung erteilt haben.

Google also processes your data in the USA, among other places. Google is an active participant in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which regulates the correct and secure transfer of personal data of EU citizens to the USA. More information on this can be found at https://commission.europa.eu/document/fa09cbad-dd7d-4684-ae60-be03fcb0fddf_en.

In addition, Google uses so-called Standard Contractual Clauses (= Art. 46 (2) and (3) GDPR). Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) are templates provided by the EU Commission and are intended to ensure that your data complies with European data protection standards even if it is transferred to and stored in third countries (such as the USA). Through the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and through the Standard Contractual Clauses, Google commits to maintaining European data protection levels when processing your relevant data, even if the data is stored, processed, and managed in the USA. These clauses are based on an implementing decision of the EU Commission. You can find the decision and the corresponding Standard Contractual Clauses here, among other places: europa.eu https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oj?locale=de

The Google Ads Data Processing Terms, which reference the Standard Contractual Clauses, can be found at safety.google https://business.safety.google/intl/de/adsprocessorterms/.
