7. Integration of external media

7.1 Integration of YouTube videos

This website uses embedded YouTube videos so that YouTube videos can be played directly on this page.

YouTube is a service offered in the EU, EEA and Switzerland by Google Ireland Limited Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4. Ireland.

We have embedded the YouTube videos on our website in “extended data protection mode”. As a result, calling up one of our websites on which YouTube videos are embedded and clicking on these videos does not yet result in your data being transmitted to Google. Before this data is transferred, you will be asked to give your consent. Consent can be given either via our cookie banner, which you can adjust at any time under data protection settings, or under data protection settings.

If you have given this consent or call up a video directly on YouTube (e.g. on our YouTube channel), your data may be transmitted by Google to a Google server in the USA and stored there. In this way, Google evaluates your use of our video offer on YouTube in order to compile anonymous reports on the video views for us and to provide us with other services related to video use.

We maintain social media profiles on the social networks of Facebook and Instagram (so-called “fan pages”). We regularly publish and share content on our fan pages.

If you use social networks, the type, scope and purpose of processing data from social networks are primarily determined by the social network operators.

We act as the responsible content provider for our fan pages. Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook”) provides the social networks Facebook and Instagram. If you communicate directly with us via our fan pages or share personal content with us, we are responsible for the processing of your data. When you visit our Fan Pages, we collect any communications, content and other information that you provide directly to us, such as when you post something on a Fan Page or send us a private message. If you have a social network account, we may also see your public information, such as your username, information in your public profile, and content that you share with a public audience.

We have no access to the personal information that Facebook used to create Page Insights (“Page Insights data “). The selection and processing of the Page Insights data is carried out exclusively by Facebook.

Page Insights provide us with information about how our fan pages are used, what interests the visitors of our fan pages have and which topics and content are particularly popular. This enables us to optimize our fan page activities, e.g. by better responding to the interests and usage habits of our audience when planning and selecting content.

We and Facebook are joint controllers for the processing of your data to provide Page Insights. To this end, we and Facebook have entered into an agreement on which company fulfills the data protection obligations under the GDPR in relation to the processing of Page Insights data.
