We embed videos from YouTube on most of our websites. The operator of the corresponding embedding plugin is YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, California 94066, USA. If you visit a page with this plugin, a connection to YouTube servers will be established automatically after you have given your consent.

If you want to prevent this, you must completely deactivate the cookie functionality of your browser or at least block it for all Google and YouTube services.

You can find additional information in YouTube’s privacy policy.

Use of Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, etc.

All share functions built into our site (except for the one integrated into the plugin by YouTube) do not have any influence from third parties and only use functions that your device or browser already has.

Online presence in social media

We maintain online presences within social networks and platforms in order to be able to communicate with customers, interested parties and users active there and to inform them about our services. We would like to point out that user data may be processed outside the European Union. This may result in risks for users because it could, for example, make it more difficult to enforce users rights.

Furthermore, user data is generally processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, user profiles can be created from user behavior and the resulting interests of users. The user profiles can in turn be used, for example, to place advertisements within and outside the platforms that presumably correspond to the interests of users. For these purposes, cookies are generally stored on users' computers in which the user behavior and interests are stored. Furthermore, data can also be stored in the user profiles regardless of the devices used by the users (particularly if the users are members of the respective platforms and are logged in to them). The processing of users' personal data is based on our legitimate interests in effectively informing users and communicating with users in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. GDPR. If users are asked by the respective providers to consent to data processing (i.e. they declare their consent, for example, by checking a checkbox or confirming a button), the legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. a., Art. 7 GDPR.

For a detailed description of the respective processing and the options for opting out, please refer to the information provided by the providers linked below. In the case of requests for information and the assertion of user rights, we would also like to point out that these can be asserted most effectively with the providers. Only the providers have access to the user data and can take appropriate measures and provide information directly. If you still need help, you can contact us.
