Privacy settings

Plug-ins from the streaming platform “YouTube.de” or “YouTube.com” are integrated into our website, making it possible to play videos directly on our website. When the streaming feature is used, information is also processed which is stored on users’ devices. The purpose of this data processing is to integrate visual content (“videos”) on the website that we have published on “YouTube.de”/”YouTube.com”. The videos are embedded in “extended privacy mode”, which means that no data about users will be transferred to YouTube if they do not play the videos. When videos are played on our website, YouTube receives the information that the corresponding page of our website has been retrieved. Additionally, access data – in particular the IP address, browser information, the website visited before, and the date and time of the server request – is transmitted to Google. This occurs regardless of whether YouTube provides a user account that users are logged in with or whether no user account exists. If users are logged in to Google, the user data will be directly associated with the corresponding YouTube account. YouTube stores the data in the form of usage profiles and processes it, for statistical analysis and online advertising purposes, regardless of whether the user has a Google account.

Recipient: YouTube LLC (headquarters at 901 Cherry Avenue, San Bruno, CA 94066, US; controller within the EU: Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; Google, LLC 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, US (hereinafter referred to as “YouTube”))

Storage duration: We do not store any data when using YouTube. For more information about how long YouTube stores data, please refer to https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Third country transfer: When consenting to the use of YouTube, this also includes consenting to a possible transfer of data to the US. The US is classified by the European Court of Justice as a country without an adequate level of data protection and without appropriate safeguards according to EU standards. In particular, there is a risk that your personal data may be processed by US authorities for monitoring and surveillance purposes, possibly without the possibility of a legal remedy to prevent access to the data or to establish the illegality of the access. In addition, there can be no assurance that your rights as a data subject can be fully implemented and that supervisory authorities in the US will take appropriate remedial action. Using YouTube involves such data transfers to third countries. If you do not wish to consent to your data being transferred to a third country, then you must disable YouTube.
