4. third party content
YouTube
We have integrated YouTube videos into our online offering, which are stored on http://www.YouTube.com and can be played directly from our website. The videos are all integrated in “extended data protection mode”, i.e. no data about you as a user is transferred to YouTube if you do not play the videos. Only when you play the videos will the data mentioned in the next paragraph be transmitted. We have no influence on this data transfer. When you visit the website, YouTube (YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA) receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. In addition, the data mentioned under II. of this declaration will be transmitted. This takes place regardless of whether YouTube provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not wish your data to be associated with your YouTube profile, you must log out before activating the button. YouTube stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or the needs-based design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact YouTube to exercise this right. This processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. By embedding such videos, we are pursuing our legitimate interest in enhancing your user experience and optimizing our services. Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by YouTube can be found in YouTube’s privacy policy. There you will also find further information on your rights and setting options to protect your privacy: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.
