3. legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data.

Furthermore, these user profiles may also contain data on the users as members of the respective social media, provided they are logged in to them.

Youtube

We use components (videos) of YouTube, LLC 901 Cherry Ave, 94066 San Bruno, CA, USA (hereinafter: «YouTube»), a company of Google Inc, Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (hereinafter: «Google»), on our website on the basis of consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

When you visit a page that has an embedded video, a connection to the YouTube servers is established and the content is displayed on the website by notifying your browser. According to YouTube, in «extended data protection mode» your data – in particular which of our web pages you have visited and device-specific information including your IP address – will only be transmitted to the YouTube server in the USA when you watch the video. By clicking on the video, you consent to this transmission.

If you are logged in to YouTube at the same time, this information will be assigned to your YouTube member account. You can prevent this by logging out of your member account before visiting our website.

Google complies with the data protection provisions of the «US Privacy Shield» and is registered with the US Privacy Shield program of the US Department of Commerce.

Further information on data protection in connection with YouTube can be found in Google’s privacy policy.

Display of videos

To display the videos contained on our website, we use an offer from YouTube, LLC 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA, represented by: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Therefore, when a video sequence is opened, the YouTube website is called up.

These videos from YouTube are all integrated in «extended data protection mode», i.e. no data about you as a user is transmitted to YouTube if you do not play the videos. The data will only be transmitted if you have given us your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 a) GDPR. Only then can you start the respective video. When you visit our website, we display a so-called «banner». You already have the option there to consent to data processing by clicking on «Agree». If you click on «Customize settings» there, you can give your consent by ticking the «Third-party provider» box. If you do not wish to do this or click on «Decline», you will be shown information about the processing of your data when you play a video on the video screen. You can only start the video once you have consented to the data processing by clicking on the information. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future via the Consent Manager tool we use. You can access the Consent Manager tool at any time via the «Privacy settings» link in the footer. If you play the videos after giving your prior consent, the data specified below will be transmitted:

By opening the video sequence, YouTube receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. This occurs 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 opening the video sequence. 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.

When you play the YouTube videos embedded on our website, YouTube uses DoubleClick by Google to present you with advertisements that are relevant to you. We do not use DoubleClick ourselves. We have no influence on the data collected and data processing procedures, nor are we aware of the full scope of data collection, the purposes of processing or the storage periods. Below we inform you how data processing by Google takes place according to our current state of knowledge:

A cookie used by Google DoubleClick (see also above in the Cookies section) assigns a pseudonymous identification number (ID) to your browser in order to check which ads have been displayed in your browser and which ads have been viewed. Google Dynamic Remarketing may also be used when you view a YouTube video. It is used to display ads that advertise products and services that you have viewed on other websites. By integrating such functions (e.g. AdWords), Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding part of our website. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, it is possible that the provider will find out your IP address and store it.

You can prevent participation in these tracking procedures in various ways:

Google also processes your personal data in the USA (see «Data transfer to a third country» below).

WPML

The website uses WPML cookies from OnTheGoSystems Ltd, 22/F 3 Lockhart Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong. WPML is a WordPress plugin to enable the multilingual display of the website. WPML stores cookies that are used to maintain the functionality of the plugin, such as the last language setting used (see https://wpml.org/documentation/support/browse r-cookies-stored-wpml/). The use constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Accordingly, no user-based information is stored.

You can also prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of our service to their full extent.

Data transfer to third parties

Your personal data will only be transferred to third parties if you have previously consented to the transfer of data, or if the transfer of data is necessary for the execution of the contractual relationship, or if we are entitled or obliged to transfer data due to legal provisions and/or official or court orders. In particular, this may involve the provision of information for the purposes of criminal prosecution, averting danger or enforcing intellectual property rights. External service providers and partner companies will only receive your data if this is necessary to process the contract or if you have given your consent. In these cases, however, the scope of the data transmitted is limited to the necessary minimum. Insofar as our service providers come into contact with your personal data, we ensure that they comply with the provisions of the data protection laws in the same way. Please also note the respective data protection notices of the providers.

Data security

We take appropriate technical and organizational security measures (TOM) within the meaning of Art 5 para 1 lit f or Art 32 GDPR to protect your personal data against accidental or intentional manipulation, unintentional or unlawful deletion, partial or complete loss, destruction or alteration, unauthorized disclosure or unauthorized access by third parties. However, there is no method of transmission of information via the Internet and no electronic or physical storage method that is absolutely and completely secure, which is why we do not guarantee or warrant the security of data transmitted to our website via the Internet.

However, we endeavor to reduce this risk as far as possible. We therefore maintain appropriate state-of-the-art measures to ensure data security and to protect your personal data. In particular, your data is transmitted to us in encrypted form. We use the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) coding system. You can tell whether an individual page of our website is transmitted in encrypted form by the closed display of the key or lock symbol in the status bar of your browser.

Third party websites

We occasionally refer to the websites of third parties via hyperlinks. If you follow a hyperlink to one of these websites, we cannot assume any guarantee or liability for the accuracy or completeness of the content or the data security of third-party websites. Please check the applicable data protection conditions before you transmit personal data to these websites.

Rights of data subjects

Our data processing is based on the relevant laws (see the legality provisions in Art. 6 GDPR).

Whether these rules apply to you can only be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.

You can assert the following rights to which you are entitled with regard to data processing. The prerequisite for this is that you can prove your identity and, if you are acting on behalf of someone else, that you are authorized to represent them (children are entitled to act on their own behalf in matters relating to social security benefits from the age of 14):

Right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR, «right to be forgotten»): You can request the erasure of your personal data if the purpose for which it was collected no longer applies, the processing is unlawful, the processing disproportionately interferes with your legitimate protection interests or the data processing is based on your consent and you have withdrawn it. Please note that there may be other reasons that prevent the immediate deletion of your data, e.g. statutory retention obligations, pending proceedings, assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims, management of archives, etc.

Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
You have the right to obtain restriction of processing of your data if you contest the accuracy of your data, for a period enabling us to verify the accuracy of the data, if the processing of your data is unlawful but you oppose the erasure of the data and request the restriction of their use instead, if we no longer need the data for the intended purpose but you still need them for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, or if you have objected to the processing of the data.

Right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
You may request that the personal data you have provided to us be made available to you in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, unless this is restricted under Art. 20 (3) GDPR and the processing is carried out by automated means and the other requirements of this provision apply.

Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR)
This right exists in the event that data processing is not part of our legally mandatory tasks. Please bear in mind that legal tasks cannot be changed by objecting.

The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam e-mails.

Brand names

All brand names mentioned are the property of their respective owners. The absence of a trademark does not mean that the trademark is not protected.

Changes to the privacy policy

We may need to amend this privacy policy, for example if we add new functions and services to the website. We therefore reserve the right to amend this privacy policy at any time with effect for the future. A current version is always available on the website.
