Google Fonts
We use “Google Fonts,” a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, Barrow St, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). Google Fonts allows us to use external fonts. When accessing our website, the required Google Font is loaded into your browser cache. This is necessary so that your browser can display text in an improved design. If your browser does not support this function, a default font on your device will be used.
Integration of these fonts involves a server request to a Google server, which informs Google which of our web pages you have visited. The IP address of your device’s browser is also stored by Google. We have no control over the scope and further use of the data collected and processed by Google through the use of Google Fonts.
We use Google Fonts for optimization purposes, particularly to improve the usability of our website and to make its design more user-friendly. This also constitutes our legitimate interest in processing the above data by the third-party provider. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR.
