Legitimate interests:                               
In order to make our website appealing, Combustin uses fonts provided by Google Fonts. A change to another provider is not planned due to the preservation of our corporate design. Google fonts currently offer a variety of designs with no alternative. By using them directly, we can guarantee a higher level of user-friendliness, as, for example, the effort of maintenance, such as the installation of updates and patches by Google, is low for us and the speed of page views (loading time) is reduced for our website visitors. No cookies are sent when you visit the website. Corresponding requests (page views) from website visits are retrieved from separate Google Fonts (APIs) domains/servers. These requests are made separately and are not aggregated if, for example, website visitors are still logged into a Google account on their device. This means that the data is not merged.

For technical reasons, the fonts cannot be integrated locally.

Data transfer

We transfer the personal data of visitors to our website for internal purposes (e.g. for internal administration or to the HR department in order to fulfil legal or contractual obligations). The internal transfer or disclosure of data only takes place to the extent necessary in compliance with the relevant data protection regulations.

It may be necessary for us to disclose personal data for the performance of contracts or to fulfil a legal obligation. If we are not provided with the data required in this respect, it may not be possible to conclude the contract with the data subject.

Your data may also be processed outside the EU/EEA, in so-called third countries (e.g. USA), using or accessing certain services, e.g. Google services (e.g. YouTube).

There is no adequacy decision by the European Commission for the transfer of data to the USA, which is considered an unsafe third country. Adequacy only exists if the European Commission has determined that a country outside the EU offers an adequate level of data protection (see https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/adequacy-decisions_en). Such a decision/determination means that personal data from the EU (and Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland) can be transferred to this third country by way of data processing without the need for further protective measures. Transfers to the country in question are treated in the same way as data transfers within the EU. Since the determination/decision for the third country in question (e.g. USA) does not exist, other guarantees pursuant to Art. 44 et seq. GDPR in order to be allowed to process/transfer data via these providers. For this reason, we conclude a separate agreement on data protection (Data Processing Agreements) with these third-party providers, including standard contractual clauses (as a guarantee) in accordance with Art. 44 et seq. GDPR and define additional measures to ensure the highest possible level of protection for the personal data of data subjects.
