  1. Open Street Maps

Wir nutzen zur Darstellung von Geo-Daten den Open-Source-Karten-Dienst „OpenStreetMaps“ (auch „OSM“ genannt) der Firma OpenStreetMap Foundation, 132 Maney Hill Road, Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands, B72 1JU, United Kingdom. OSM dient dazu, eine interaktive Karte auf unserer Webseite anzubieten, die Ihnen zeigt, wie Sie uns finden und erreichen können. Dieser Dienst ermöglicht es uns, unsere Webseite ansprechend darzustellen, indem Kartenmaterial von einem externen Server geladen wird. Folgende Daten werden bei der Darstellung an die Server von OSM übertragen: Diejenige unserer Internetseiten, die Sie besucht haben und die IP-Adresse Ihres Endgerätes. Die Rechtsgrundlage für die Verarbeitung Ihrer Daten in Bezug auf den Dienst „OSM“ ist Art. 6 Abs. 1 S. 1 Buchstabe f) DSGVO (Berechtigtes Interesse an der Datenverarbeitung). Das berechtigte Interesse ergibt sich aus unserem Bedarf an einer ansprechenden Darstellung unseres Online-Angebots und der leichten Auffindbarkeit der auf unserer Website angegebenen Orte.
