5.2. Integration of third-party services
We integrate third-party services in order to allow you to use their functions, services and features. These integrated third-party services are designed and provided by the respective providers. Therefore, we have no influence over the design, content and functions of these third-party services or the processing of personal data by their providers. Please familiarise yourself directly with the information issued by the providers of the integrated services.
- Provider/recipient
YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Avenue, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA (represented by Google Inc, Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) - Categories of data
IP address, crash reports, system activities, date, time, referrer URL - Purpose(s)
Display of YouTube videos - Legal basis
Point (a) of Article 6 Paragraph 1 GDPR, Paragraph 25 Section 1 TDDDG (Consent)
By clicking on the slider in the video display (share external content from YouTube videos), by activating the checkbox below or activating the checkbox in the cookie settings, you agree to the data being processed.
Your consent also covers any data transfer from YouTube to unsafe third countries, in particular the USA (Point (a) of Article 49 Paragraph 1). The USA is assessed by the European Court of Justice as a country with an insufficient level of data protection by EU standards. In particular, due to the lack of an adequacy decision and without appropriate safeguards, there is a risk that your data may be processed by US authorities for control and monitoring purposes, possibly also without redress. - If applicable, legitimate interests being pursued
Enabling viewing of YouTube videos - Data protection notice of the provider
https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=d - If applicable, exercising of the right of objection or the withdrawal
You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by changing the settings accordingly (share external content): to do this, deactivate the slider previously activated in the video display or the checkbox below. - Additional notes
The integration takes place by means of the “privacy-enhanced mode” of YouTube.
In the default setting no data is transferred to YouTube. Only if you agree to the use of YouTube does data exchange with YouTube take place (so-called 2-stage solution).
The selection you make (share external content from YouTube videos) is permanently stored in your browser (local storage).
If you change the setting and block external content as a result, the setting stored in your browser is deleted and your data will no longer be transferred to YouTube via our website.
Consent to use the YouTube Player
By selecting the checkbox on the "Cookie settings" page, you expressly consent to us processing and transferring your IP address to YouTube LLC along with crash reports, system activity, date, time, referral URL. Your consent also includes any data transfer from YouTube to unsafe third countries without an adequate level of data protection, in particular the USA. You can withdraw this consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating the checkbox below. Data processing carried out based on this consent prior to your withdrawal remains lawful.
5.3. Cookies
We use cookies on our website in order to provide comprehensive functionality, to make the use of our website more comfortable and to optimise our services. Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer and saved by your browser.
Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies”. These are automatically deleted after the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your terminal device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognise your browser on your next visit.
You can configure your browser to notify you regarding the placement of cookies and only permit cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing your browser. The deactivation of cookies can restrict the functionality of this website.
Cookies that are required to conduct electronic communication or to provide certain functions that you requested are stored based on point (f) of Article 6 Paragraph 1 GDPR. We as the website operator have a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of our services. Insofar as other cookies are stored (such as statistical cookies to analyse user behaviour), these are dealt with separately in this data protection notice (in addition to technically essential cookies, we only use the Matomo web analytics service, cf. section 5.1. in this regard).
