Google thereby receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. By using Google Maps, this information may be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google may transfer the information obtained through Maps to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf.
