Use of Typekit web fonts from Adobe Fonts

We use Typekit web fonts from Adobe Fonts to visually design our website. Adobe Fonts is a service provided by Adobe Systems Software Ireland Companies (4-6 Riverwalk, Citywest Business Campus, Dublin 24, Republic of Ireland; hereinafter "Adobe") which gives us access to a font library.

To incorporate the fonts we use, your browser must connect to an Adobe server in the USA and download the font required for our website. Adobe is thereby informed that our website was accessed from your IP address.

For more information about Adobe fonts, please refer to the Adobe Fonts privacy policy, which can be found here: https://www.adobe.com/de/privacy/policies/adobe-fonts.html

If your browser does not support web fonts, or you do not give your consent, a default font will be used by your computer.
