3.8 Leaflet API - OpenStreetMap

This website uses Leaflet API, a map service that enables OpenStreetMap - the open source alternative from Google Maps - to be integrated into the website. From a technical point of view, it is necessary to make inquiries to other servers for correct display. These inquiries would in principle make it possible for information about your use of this website (including your IP address) to be transmitted to other servers and stored there. After analysis by the developer tools, the other servers are limited to maps.wikimedia.org (map layer) and unpkg.com (leaflet files).

You have the option of deactivating the OpenStreetMap service and thus preventing data transfer to third parties by deactivating JavaScript in your browser. However, we would like to point out that in this case you will not be able to use the map display on our website, or only to a limited extent.

More information about OpenStreetMap can be found at https://www.openstreetmap.de. More information on the API Leaflet used can be found at https://www.leafletjs.com

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there. Google will use this information on behalf of Ecoclean to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on Ecoclean's website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and Internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties if required by law or as far as third parties process this data on behalf of Google.
