Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

Duration of storage

The personal data that you have made available to us will be automatically deleted if the purpose of the processing has ceased. Technical data and protocols to ensure the operation of the website are deleted after 6 months. In the case of webtracking data, your IP address is already anonymised at the time of webtracking by deleting the last octet.
