The EU Commission has determined that an adequate level of data protection can exist in the USA if the data-processing company has committed to the EU-US Privacy Shield framework and the data export to the USA has been structured in accordance with this mechanism. By activating IP anonymization within the Google Analytics tracking code on this website, your IP address is anonymized by Google Analytics prior to transmission. This website uses a Google Analytics tracking code that has been extended with the operator `gat._anonymizeIp();` to enable only the anonymized collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking).
