YouTube

Videos from the video platform YouTube (YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Avenue, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA) are embedded on our website. YouTube is represented by Google Ireland Limited Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4.

We use a “two-click solution”. This means that when you visit the corresponding sub-page of our website, no personal data is passed on to the provider of the service. However, we offer you the option of activating the service of the provider via a button, which results in a direct data transfer. Only when you activate the service does the provider receive the information that you have accessed the corresponding sub-page of our website. This is done via a cookie, which is only set with your express consent in accordance with § 25 para. 1 TTDPA.

By activating the service, your personal data is transmitted to the respective provider, stored there and further processed. We have no influence on this processing. We would like to point out that your personal data will be processed by the provider in the USA for additional purposes (including analysis and marketing) beyond the provision of the service.

The level of data protection in the USA does not generally correspond to the level of protection in the EU, as, among other things, government authorities may have far-reaching access options and enforcement of your data subject rights cannot be guaranteed. Although the providers have made partial contractual commitments to us to ensure a level of protection comparable to that in the EU, it cannot be ruled out that this will not be achieved in individual cases due to conflicting requirements of US law.

Information on which data is processed by Google and for which purposes can be found in Google’s privacy policy:
