You have the right to revoke your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent before its withdrawal. You can prevent the collection and processing of your personal data by Google by preventing third-party cookies from being stored on your computer, using the "Do Not Track" function of a supporting browser, disabling the execution of script code in your browser, or installing a script blocker such as NoScript (https://noscript.net/) or Ghostery (https://www.ghostery.com) in your browser.
Your personal data will also be transferred to the United States. In order to make the transfer to third countries as data protection-friendly as possible, standard contractual clauses have been concluded with providers in unsafe third countries. A copy of the standard data protection clauses can be obtained from us.
For the USA, an adequacy decision "EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework" pursuant to Art. 45 III GDPR has been in place since July 10, 2023. The European Commission has adopted the EU-US data protection framework and established in the decision that the United States ensures an adequate level of protection of personal data. However, the transfer of personal data to the United States only applies if the respective US data recipient is also certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework with the US Department of Commerce.

XXI. Geotargeting
We use the IP address and other information provided by the user (in particular postcode as part of registration or ordering) to address regional target groups (so-called "geotargeting").
For example, the regional target group approach is used to automatically show you regional offers or advertising that are often more relevant to users. The legal basis for the use of the IP address and, if applicable, other information provided by the user (in particular postcode) is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, based on our interest in ensuring a more precise target group approach and thus providing offers and advertising with higher relevance for users.
Part of the IP address as well as the additional information provided by the user (in particular postal code) are only read out and not stored separately.
You can prevent geo-targeting, for example, by using a VPN or proxy server that prevents accurate localization. In addition, depending on the browser used, you can also deactivate location localization in the corresponding browser settings (as far as the respective browser supports this).
We use geotargeting on our app for the following purposes: Determination of the time zone at the user's location for the purpose of time-of-day-related app functions such as greetings.
