Youtube
We use videos from the YouTube service on our website; the provider is Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter: "YouTube"). We use the "extended data protection mode" option provided by YouTube.
By calling up videos, YouTube receives the information that you have called up the corresponding sub-page of our website.

This takes place regardless of whether YouTube provides a user account via which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged into YouTube or another Google account, your data will be directly assigned to your account there and processed independently by the provider; you can avoid this by logging out before visiting our site. 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 can find more information on the associated transfer of personal data to the USA below under "VI. Third country transfer". You have a right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and you must contact YouTube to exercise this right.

Some sections of our website contain links to the websites of third-party providers. These websites are subject to their own data privacy policies. We are not responsible for their operation, including the handling of data. If you send information to or via such third-party sites, you should check the privacy policies of these sites before sending information that can be traced to you personally.
In the first instance, only our employees receive your personal data. Insofar as permitted or prescribed under law, we also share your personal data with other recipients which provide services in connection with our website. We restrict the forwarding of your personal data to what is necessary. Some of our service providers receive your personal data in their capacity as processors and, in this case, are strictly bound by our instructions when handling your personal data. In some cases, the recipients act independently with your data which we send to them.
The categories of recipients of your personal data are indicated below:
When using the Youtube service from Google, personal data is transferred to the USA. The US is considered a non-secure third country with regard to data protection, for which neither adequacy decisions of the EU Commission nor other guarantees exist. Neither the protection of personal data known from the EU exists there, nor do corresponding rights or legal remedies of the data subjects exist with regard to their personal data. In particular, there is a risk that secret and intelligence services as well as other authorities can access your personal data unhindered, for example within the framework of the CLOUD Act, and that there are no effective legal remedies against this. Such data transfer to the USA is covered by your consent, e.g. to the use of cookies. Otherwise, we do not transfer your personal data to countries outside the EU or the EEA or to international organisations.

In individual cases, we also process your data for the purposes of direct advertising. If you do not wish to receive any advertising, you are entitled to object to this at any time; this also applies to profiling if this is in conjunction with such direct advertising.
