Google

Our web presence also employs the Google link, which is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States (Google). The link can be identified by the "Google" symbol against a white or color background.

If the user opens one of our websites containing such a link, the user's browser establishes a direct connection to a Google server. The contents of the "Google" link are transferred directly to your browser, which then integrates said content in the webpage. We therefore have no control over the data whatsoever that Google collects via the link, but would expect user IP addresses to be collected.

The purpose and scope of data collection via Google, the processing and use of such data, as well as your rights thereof and personal settings regarding privacy protection can be found in the Google privacy settings section https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-US
