Microsoft Edge: Delete cookies in Microsoft Edge <\/a><\/p>\nIf you generally do not want cookies, you can set up your browser in a way to notify you whenever a cookie is about to be set. This gives you the opportunity to manually decide to either permit or deny the placement of every single cookie. This procedure varies depending on the browser. Therefore, it might be best for you to search for the instructions in Google. If you are using Chrome, you could for example put the search term \u201cdelete cookies Chrome\u201d or \u201cdeactivate cookies Chrome\u201d into Google.<\/p>\n
Legal basis<\/h3>\n
The so-called \u201ccookie directive\u201d has existed since 2009. It states that the storage of cookies requires your consent<\/strong> (Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit. a GDPR). Within countries of the EU, however, the reactions to these guidelines still vary greatly. In Austria, however, this directive was implemented in Section 96 (3) of the Telecommunications Act (TKG). In Germany, the cookie guidelines have not been implemented as national law. Instead, this guideline was largely implemented in Section 15 (3) of the Telemedia Act (TMG).<\/p>\nFor absolutely necessary cookies, even if no consent has been given, there are legitimate interests (Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR), which in most cases are of an economic nature. We want to offer our visitors a pleasant user experience on our website. For this, certain cookies often are absolutely necessary.<\/p>\n
This is exclusively done with your consent, unless absolutely necessary cookies are used. The legal basis for this is Article 6 (1) (a) of the GDPR.<\/p>\n
In the following sections you will find more detail on the use of cookies, provided the used software does use cookies.<\/p>\n
Customer Data<\/h2>\n
\n\n\nCustomer Data Overview<\/strong>
\n? Affected parties: Customers or business and contractual partners
\n? Purpose: Performance of a contract for the provision of agreed services or prior to entering into such a contract, including associated communications.
\n? Data processed: name, address, contact details, email address, telephone number, payment information (such as invoices and bank details), contract data (such as duration and subject matter of the contract), IP address, order data
\n? Storage period: the data will be erased as soon as they are no longer required for our business purposes and there is no legal obligation to process them.
\n\u2696\ufe0f Legal bases: Legitimate interests (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR), Contract (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\nWhat is customer data?<\/h3>\nIn order to be able to offer our services and contractual services, we also process data from our customers and business partners. This data always includes personal data. Customer data is all information that is processed on the basis of contractual or pre-contractual agreements so that the offered services can be provided. Customer data is therefore all the information we collect and process about our customers.<\/p>\n Why do we process customer data?<\/h3>\nThere are many reasons why we collect and process customer data. The main reason is that we simply need specific data to provide our services. Sometimes for example your email address may be enough. But if you purchase a product or service, we may e. g. also need data such as your name, address, bank details or other contract data. This data will subsequently be used for marketing and sales optimisation so that we can improve our overall service for our customers and clients. Another important reason for data processing is our customer service, which is very important to us. We want you to have the opportunity to contact us at any time with questions about our offers. Thus, we may need certain data such as your email address at the very least.<\/p>\n What data is processed?<\/h3>\nExactly which data is stored can only be shown by putting them in categories. All in all, it always depends on which of our services you receive. In some cases, you may only give us your email address so that we can e. g. contact you or answer your questions. In other instances, you may purchase one of our products or services. Then we may need significantly more information, such as your contact details, payment details and contract details.<\/p>\n Here is a list of potential data we may receive and process:<\/p>\n \n- Name<\/li>\n
- Contact address<\/li>\n
- Email address<\/li>\n
- Phone number<\/li>\n
- Your birthday<\/li>\n
- Payment data (invoices, bank details, payment history, etc.)<\/li>\n
- Contract data (duration, contents)<\/li>\n
- Usage data (websites visited, access data, etc.)<\/li>\n
- Metadata (IP address, device information)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
How long is the data stored?<\/h3>\nWe erase corresponding customer data as soon as we no longer need it to fulfill our contractual obligations and purposes, and as soon as the data is also no longer necessary for possible warranty and liability obligations. This can for example be the case when a business contract ends. Thereafter, the limitation period is usually 3 years, although longer periods may be possible in individual cases. Of course, we also comply with the statutory retention requirements. Your customer data will certainly not be passed on to third parties unless you have given your explicit consent.<\/p>\n Legal Basis<\/h3>\nThe legal basis for the processing of your data is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a GDPR (consent), Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter b GDPR (contract or pre-contractual measures), Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f GDPR (legitimate interests) and in special cases (e. g. medical services) Art. 9 (2) lit. GDPR (processing of special categories).<\/p>\n In the case of protecting vital interests, data processing is carried out in accordance with Article 9 Paragraph 2 Letter c. GDPR. For the purposes of health care, occupational medicine, medical diagnostics, care or treatment in the health or social sectors or for the administration of systems and services in health or social sectors, the processing of personal data takes place in accordance with Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. h. GDPR. If you voluntarily provide data of these special categories, the processing takes place on the basis of Article 9 Paragraph 2 lit. a GDPR.<\/p>\n Registration<\/h2>\n\n\n\nRegistration Overview<\/strong>
\n? Affected parties: Anyone who registers to create an account with us, and logs in to use the account.
\n? Processed data: Personal data such as email address, name, password and other data that is collected during registration, login and account use.
\n<\/span>? Purpose: For the provision of our services, as well as to communicate with clients or customers in the scope of our services.<\/span>
\n? Storage period: As long as the company account associated with the texts exists, plus a period of usually 3 years.
\n<\/span>\u2696\ufe0f Legal bases: Article 6 paragraph 1 letter b GDPR (contract), Article 6 paragraph 1 letter a GDPR (consent), Article 6 paragraph 1 letter f GDPR (legitimate interests)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\nIf you register with us and provide any personal data, this data may be processed, possibly along with your IP address. Below you can explore what we mean by the rather broad term \u201cpersonal data\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\nPlease only enter the data we need for the registration. In case you are registering on behalf of a third party, please only enter data for which you have the approval of the party you are registering for. If possible, use a secure password that you don\u2019t use anywhere else and an email address that you check regularly.<\/span><\/p>\nIn the following, we will inform you about the exact type of data processing we do. After all, we want you to feel at ease with the services we provide!<\/span><\/p>\nWhat is a registration?<\/h3>\nWhen you register, we retain certain of your data in order to make it easy for you to log in with us online and use your account. An account with us has the advantage that you don\u2019t have to re-enter everything every time. It saves time and effort and ultimately prevents any issues with the provision of our services.<\/span><\/p>\nWhy do we process personal data?<\/h3>\nIn short, we process personal data to make account registration and usage possible for you. <\/span> If we didn\u2019t do this, you would have to enter all your data each time, wait for our approval and then enter everything again. This strenuous process would probably not only irritate us a little, but also many of our dear clients and customers.<\/span><\/p>\nWhich data is processed?<\/h3>\nAny data that you provided during registration or login and any data that you may enter as part of managing your account data.<\/span><\/p>\nDuring registration, we process the following types of data: <\/span><\/p>\n\n- First name<\/span><\/li>\n
- Last name<\/li>\n
- Email address<\/span><\/li>\n
- Company name<\/li>\n
- Street + house number<\/li>\n
- Residence<\/li>\n
- Postcode<\/li>\n
- Country<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
During your registration, we process any data you enter, such as your username and password, along with data that is collected in the background such as your device information and IP addresses.<\/span><\/p>\nWhen using your account, we process any data you enter while using the account, as well as any data that is created while you use our services.<\/span><\/p>\nStorage time<\/h3>\nWe store the entered data for at least <\/span>as long as the account associated with the data exists with us and is in use \u2013 and as long as there are contractual obligations between you and us. In case the contract ends, we retain the data until the respective claims get time-barred. Moreover, we store your data as long as we are subject to legal storage obligations, if applicable. Following that, we keep any accounting records (invoices, contract documents, account statements, etc.) of the contract for 10 years (\u00a7 147 AO) and other relevant business documents for 6 years (\u00a7 247 HGB) after accrual.<\/p>\nRight to object<\/h3>\nYou have registered, entered data and want to revoke the data processing? Not a problem. As you can see above, you retain this right under the General Data Protection Regulation also at and after registration, login or account creation with us. Contact the Data Protection Officer above to exercise your rights. If you already have an account with us, you can easily view and manage your data and texts in your account.<\/span><\/p>\nLegal Basis<\/h3>\nBy completing the registration process, you enter into a pre-contractual agreement with us, with the intention to conclude a contract of use for our platform (although there is no automatic payment obligation). You invest time to enter data and register and in return, we offer you our services after you log on to our system and view your customer account. We also meet our contractual obligations. Finally, we need to be able to email registered users about important changes. Article 6(1)(b) GDPR (implementation of pre-contractual measures, fulfilment of a contract) applies.<\/span><\/p>\nWhere applicable, we will ask for your consent, e.g. in case you voluntarily provide more data than is absolutely necessary, or in case we may ask you if we may send you advertising. Article 6 paragraph 1 lit. a GDPR (consent) applies in this matter.<\/p>\n We also have a legitimate interest in knowing who who our clients or customers are, in order to get in touch if required. We also need to know who is using our services and whether they are being used in accordance with our terms of use, i.e. Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interests) applies in this matter.<\/p>\n Note: the following sections are to be ticked by users (as required):<\/p>\n Registration with real names<\/strong><\/p>\nSince business operations require us to know who our clients or customers are, registration is only possible with your real name (full name) and not with a pseudonym.<\/span><\/p>\nRegistration with pseudonyms<\/strong><\/p>\nYou can use a pseudonym for the registration, which means you don\u2019t have to register with your real name. This ensures that your real name cannot be processed by us. <\/span><\/p>\nStorage of the IP address<\/strong><\/p>\nDuring registration, login and account use, we store your IP address for security reasons in order to be able to determine legitimate use.<\/span><\/p>\nPublic Profile<\/strong><\/p>\nUser profiles are publicly visible, i.e. parts of the profiles can also be viewed on the Internet without the need to enter a username and password.<\/span><\/p>\nTwo Factor Authentication (2FA)<\/strong><\/p>\nTwo Factor Authentication (2FA) offers additional security when logging in, as it prevents you from logging in without a smartphone, for example. This technical measure to secure your account protects you against the loss of data or unauthorised access, even if your username and password were leaked. During your registration process, login or within the account itself y<\/span> ou can find out which 2FA is used.<\/span><\/p>\nWeb hosting<\/h2>\n\n\n\nWeb hosting Overview<\/strong>
\n? Affected parties: visitors to the website
\n? Purpose: professional hosting of the website and security of operations
\n? Processed data: IP address, time of website visit, browser used and other data. You can find more details on this below or at the respective web hosting provider.
\n? Storage period: dependent on the respective provider, but usually 2 weeks
\n\u2696\ufe0f Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interests)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\nWhat is web hosting?<\/h3>\nEvery time you visit a website nowadays, certain information \u2013 including personal data \u2013 is automatically created and stored, including on this website. This data should be processed as sparingly as possible, and only with good reason. By website, we mean the entirety of all websites on your domain, i.e. everything from the homepage to the very last subpage (like this one here). By domain we mean example.uk or examplepage.com.<\/p>\n When you want to view a website on a screen, you use a program called a web browser. You probably know the names of some web browsers: Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, and Apple Safari.<\/p>\n The web browser has to connect to another computer which stores the website\u2019s code: the web server. Operating a web server is complicated and time-consuming, which is why this is usually done by professional providers. They offer web hosting and thus ensure the reliable and flawless storage of website data.<\/p>\n Whenever the browser on your computer establishes a connection (desktop, laptop, smartphone) and whenever data is being transferred to and from the web server, personal data may be processed. After all, your computer stores data, and the web server also has to retain the data for a period of time in order to ensure it can operate properly.<\/p>\n Why do we process personal data?<\/h3>\nThe purposes of data processing are:<\/p>\n \n- Professional hosting of the website and operational security<\/li>\n
- To maintain the operational as well as IT security<\/li>\n
- Anonymous evaluation of access patterns to improve our offer, and if necessary, for prosecution or the pursuit of claims.li><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Which data are processed?<\/h3>\nEven while you are visiting our website, our web server, that is the computer on which this website is saved, usually automatically saves data such as<\/p>\n \n- the full address (URL) of the accessed website (e. g. https:\/\/www.examplepage.uk\/examplesubpage.html?tid=112289075)<\/li>\n
- browser and browser version (e.g. Chrome 87)<\/li>\n
- the operating system used (e.g. Windows 10)<\/li>\n
- the address (URL) of the previously visited page (referrer URL) (e. g. https:\/\/www.examplepage.uk\/icamefromhere.html\/)<\/li>\n
- the host name and the IP address of the device from the website is being accessed from (e.g. COMPUTERNAME and 194.23.43.121)<\/li>\n
- date and time<\/li>\n
- in so-called web server log files<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div> \u00a0<\/h3>\nHow long is the data stored?<\/h3>\nGenerally, the data mentioned above are stored for two weeks and are then automatically deleted. We do not pass these data on to others, but we cannot rule out the possibility that this data may be viewed by the authorities in the event of illegal conduct.<\/p>\n In short:<\/strong> Your visit is logged by our provider (company that runs our website on special computers (servers)), but we do not pass on your data without your consent!<\/p>\nLegal basis<\/h3>\nThe lawfulness of processing personal data in the context of web hosting is justified in Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (safeguarding of legitimate interests), as the use of professional hosting with a provider is necessary to present the company in a safe and user-friendly manner on the internet, as well as to have the ability to track any attacks and claims, if necessary.<\/p>\n World4You Privacy Policy<\/h2>\nWe use World4You f<\/span>or our website, which is a web hosting provider among other things. The provider of this service is the Austrian company World4You Internet Services GmbH, Hafenstrasse 35, 4020 Linz, Austria.

\n? Affected parties: newsletter subscribers
\n? Purpose: direct marketing via email, notification of events that are relevant to the system
\n? Processed data: data entered during registration, but at least the email address. You can find more details on this in the respective email marketing tool used.
\n? Storage duration: for the duration of the subscription
\n\u2696\ufe0f Legal bases: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interests)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\nWhat is Email-Marketing?<\/h3>\nWe use email marketing to keep you up to date. If you have agreed to receive our emails or newsletters, your data will be processed and stored. Email marketing is a part of online marketing. In this type of marketing, news or general information about a company, product or service are emailed to a specific group of people who are interested in it.<\/p>\n If you want to participate in our email marketing (usually via newsletter), you usually just have to register with your email address. To do this, you have to fill in and submit an online form. However, we may also ask you for your title and name, so we can address you personally in our emails.<\/p>\n The registration for newsletters generally works with the help of the so-called \u201cdouble opt-in procedure\u201d. After you have registered for our newsletter on our website, you will receive an email, via which you can confirm the newsletter registration. This ensures that you own the email address you signed up with, and prevents anyone to register with a third-party email address. We or a notification tool we use, will log every single registration. This is necessary so we can ensure and prove, that registration processes are done legally and correctly. In general, the time of registration and registration confirmation are stored, as well as your IP address. Moreover, any change you make to your data that we have on file is also logged.<\/p>\n Why do we use Email-Marketing?<\/h3>\nOf course, we want to stay in contact with you and keep you in the loop of the most important news about our company. For this, we use email marketing \u2013 often just referred to as \u201cnewsletters\u201d \u2013 as an essential part of our online marketing. If you agree to this or if it is permitted by law, we will send you newsletters, system emails or other notifications via email. Whenever the term \u201cnewsletter\u201d is used in the following text, it mainly refers to emails that are sent regularly. We of course don\u2019t want to bother you with our newsletter in any way. Thus, we genuinely strive to offer only relevant and interesting content. In our emails you can e.g. find out more about our company and our services or products. Since we are continuously improving our offer, our newsletter will always give you the latest news, or special, lucrative promotions. Should we commission a service provider for our email marketing, who offers a professional mailing tool, we do this in order to offer you fast and secure newsletters. The purpose of our email marketing is to inform you about new offers and also to get closer to our business goals.<\/p>\n Which data are processed?<\/h3>\nIf you subscribe to our newsletter via our website, you then have to confirm your membership in our email list via an email that we will send to you. In addition to your IP and email address, your name, address and telephone number may also be stored. However, this will only be done if you agree to this data retention. Any data marked as such are necessary so you can participate in the offered service. Giving this information is voluntary, but failure to provide it will prevent you from using this service. Moreover, information about your device or the type of content you prefer on our website may also be stored. In the section \u201cAutomatic data storage\u201d you can find out more about how your data is stored when you visit a website.\u00a0We record your informed consent, so we can always prove that it complies with our laws.<\/p>\n Duration of data processing<\/h3>\nIf you unsubscribe from our e-mail\/newsletter distribution list, we may store your address for up to three years on the basis of our legitimate interests, so we can keep proof your consent at the time. We are only allowed to process this data if we have to defend ourselves against any claims.<\/p>\n However, if you confirm that you have given us your consent to subscribe to the newsletter, you can submit an individual request for erasure at any time. Furthermore, if you permanently object to your consent, we reserve the right to store your email address in a blacklist. But as long as you have voluntarily subscribed to our newsletter, we will of course keep your email address on file.<\/p>\n Withdrawal \u2013 how can I cancel my subscription?<\/h3>\nYou have the option to cancel your newsletter subscription at any time. All you have to do is revoke your consent to the newsletter subscription. This usually only takes a few seconds or a few clicks. Most of the time you will find a link at the end of every email, via which you will be able to cancel the subscription. Should you not be able to find the link in the newsletter, you can contact us by email and we will immediately cancel your newsletter subscription for you.<\/p>\n Legal basis<\/h3>\nOur newsletter is sent on the basis of your consent <\/strong> (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR). This means that we are only allowed to send you a newsletter if you have actively registered for it beforehand. Moreover, we may also send you advertising messages on the basis of Section 7 (3) UWG (Unfair Competition Act), provided you have become our customer and have not objected to the use of your email address for direct mail.<\/p>\nIf available \u2013 you can find information on special email marketing services and how they process personal data, in the following sections.<\/p>\n \n\n\n Cookie Consent Management Platform Overview<\/strong>
\n? Affected parties: Website visitors
\n? Purpose: Obtaining and managing consent to certain cookies and thus the use of certain tools
\n? Processed data: data for managing cookie settings such as IP address, time of consent, type of consent and individual consent. You can find more details on this directly with the tool that is being used.
\n? Storage period: depends on the tool used, periods of several years can be assumed

The software automatically creates a cookie pop-up, scans and controls all scripts and cookies, provides you with the cookie consent required under data protection law and helps you and us to keep track of all cookies. Most cookie consent management tools identify and categorize all existing cookies. As a website visitor, you then decide for yourself whether and which scripts and cookies you allow or not. The following graphic shows the relationship between browser, web server and CMP.<\/p>\n Why do we use a cookie management tool?<\/h3>\nOur goal is to offer you the best possible transparency in the area of \u200b\u200bdata protection. We are also legally obliged to do so. We want to inform you as well as possible about all tools and all cookies that can save and process your data. It is also your right to decide for yourself which cookies you accept and which you do not. In order to grant you this right, we first need to know exactly which cookies actually landed on our website. Thanks to a cookie management tool, which regularly scans the website for all cookies present, we know about all cookies and can provide you with GDPR-compliant information. You can then use the consent system to accept or reject cookies.<\/p>\n Which data are processed?<\/h3>\nAs part of our cookie management tool, you can manage each individual cookie yourself and have complete control over the storage and processing of your data. The declaration of your consent is stored so that we do not have to ask you every time you visit our website and we can also prove your consent if required by law. This is saved either in an opt-in cookie or on a server. The storage time of your cookie consent varies depending on the provider of the cookie management tool. Usually this data (e.g. pseudonymous user ID, time of consent, detailed information on the cookie categories or tools, browser, device information) is stored for up to two years.<\/p>\n Duration of data processing<\/h3>\nWe will inform you below about the duration of the data processing if we have further information. In general, we only process personal data for as long as is absolutely necessary for the provision of our services and products. Data stored in cookies are stored for different lengths of time. Some cookies are deleted after you leave the website, others may be stored in your browser for a few years. The exact duration of the data processing depends on the tool used, in most cases you should be prepared for a storage period of several years. In the respective data protection declarations of the individual providers, you will usually receive precise information about the duration of the data processing.<\/p>\n Right of objection<\/h3>\nYou also have the right and the option to revoke your consent to the use of cookies at any time. This works either via our cookie management tool or via other opt-out functions. For example, you can also prevent data collection by cookies by managing, deactivating or deleting cookies in your browser.<\/p>\n Information on special cookie management tools can be found \u2013 if available \u2013 in the following sections.<\/p>\n Legal basis<\/h3>\nIf you agree to cookies, your personal data will be processed and stored via these cookies. If we are allowed to use cookies with your consent <\/strong> (Article 6 paragraph 1 lit. a GDPR), this consent is also the legal basis for the use of cookies and the processing of your data. In order to be able to manage the consent to cookies and to enable you to give your consent, a cookie consent management platform software is used. The use of this software enables us to operate the website in an efficient and legally compliant manner, which is a legitimate interest <\/strong> (Article 6 paragraph 1 lit. f GDPR).<\/p>\nAudio & Video<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Audio & Video Privacy Policy Overview<\/strong>

Therefore, you can watch videos or listen to music\/podcasts directly via our website. This content is delivered by service providers and is obtained from the respective providers\u2019 servers.<\/p>\n Audio and video elements are integrated functional elements of platforms such as YouTube, Vimeo or Spotify. It is usually free of charge to use these portals, but they can also contain paid content. With the integrated elements, you can listen to or view any of their content on our website.<\/p>\n If you use audio or video elements on our website, your personal data may get transmitted to as well as processed and retained by service providers.<\/p>\n Why do we use audio & video elements on our website?<\/h3>\nWe of course want to provide you with the best offer on our website. And we are aware that content is no longer just conveyed in text and static images. Instead of just giving you a link to a video, we offer you audio and video formats directly on our website. These are entertaining or informative, but ideally they are both. Our service therefore gets expanded and it gets easier for you to access interesting content. In addition to our texts and images, we thus also offer video and\/or audio content.<\/p>\n Which data are retained by audio & video elements?<\/h3>\nWhen you visit a page on our website with e.g. an embedded video, your server connects to the service provider\u2019s server. Thus, your data will also be transferred to the third-party provider, where it will be stored. Certain data is collected and stored regardless of whether you have an account with the third party provider or not. This usually includes your IP address, browser type, operating system and other general information about your device. Most providers also collect information on your web activity. This e.g. includes the session duration, bounce rate, the buttons you clicked or information about the website you are using the service on. This data is mostly stored via cookies or pixel tags (also known as web beacons). Any data that is pseudonymised usually gets stored in your browser via cookies. In the respective provider\u2019s Privacy Policy, you can always find more information on the data that is stored and processed.<\/p>\n Duration of data processing<\/h3>\nYou can find out exactly how long the data is stored on the third-party provider\u2019s servers either in a lower point of the respective tool\u2019s Privacy Policy or in the provider\u2019s Privacy Policy. Generally, personal data is only processed for as long as is absolutely necessary for the provision of our services or products. This usually also applies to third-party providers. In most cases, you can assume that certain data will be stored on third-party providers\u2019 servers for several years. Data can be retained for different amounts of time, especially when stored in cookies. Some cookies are deleted after you leave a website, while others may be stored in your browser for a few years.<\/p>\n Right to object<\/h3>\nYou also retain the right and the option to revoke your consent to the use of cookies or third-party providers at any time. This can be done either via our cookie management tool or via other opt-out functions. You can e.g. also prevent data retention via cookies by managing, deactivating or erasing cookies in your browser. The legality of the processing up to the point of revocation remains unaffected.<\/p>\n Since the integrated audio and video functions on our site usually also use cookies, we recommend you to also read our general Privacy Policy on cookies. You can find out more about the handling and storage of your data in the Privacy Policies of the respective third party providers.<\/p>\n Legal basis <\/strong><\/h3>\nIf you have consented to the processing and storage of your data by integrated audio and video elements, your consent is considered the legal basis for data processing (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR)<\/strong>. Generally, your data is also stored and processed on the basis of our legitimate interest (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR) <\/strong> in maintaining fast and good communication with you or other customers and business partners.

Therefore, we can show you interesting videos directly on our site. YouTube is a video portal, which has been a subsidiary company of Google LLC since 2006. The video portal is operated by YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit a page on our website that contains an embedded YouTube video, your browser automatically connects to the servers of YouTube or Google. Thereby, certain data are transferred (depending on the settings). Google is responsible for YouTube\u2019s data processing and therefore Google\u2019s data protection applies.<\/p>\n In the following we will explain in more detail which data is processed, why we have integrated YouTube videos and how you can manage or clear your data.<\/p>\n On YouTube, users can watch, rate, comment or upload videos for free. Over the past few years, YouTube has become one of the most important social media channels worldwide. For us to be able to display videos on our website, YouTube provides a code snippet that we have integrated to our website.<\/p>\n Why do we use YouTube videos on our website?<\/h3>\nYouTube is the video platform with the most visitors and best content. We strive to offer you the best possible user experience on our website, which of course includes interesting videos. With the help of our embedded videos, we can provide you other helpful content in addition to our texts and images. Additionally, embedded videos make it easier for our website to be found on the Google search engine. Moreover, if we place ads via Google Ads, Google only shows these ads to people who are interested in our offers, thanks to the collected data.<\/p>\n What data is stored by YouTube?<\/h3>\nAs soon as you visit one of our pages with an integrated YouTube, YouTube places at least one cookie that stores your IP address and our URL. If you are logged into your YouTube account, by using cookies YouTube can usually associate your interactions on our website with your profile. This includes data such as session duration, bounce rate, approximate location, technical information such as browser type, screen resolution or your Internet provider. Additional data can include contact details, potential ratings, shared content via social media or YouTube videos you added to your favourites.<\/p>\n If you are not logged in to a Google or YouTube account, Google stores data with a unique identifier linked to your device, browser or app. Thereby, e.g. your preferred language setting is maintained. However, many interaction data cannot be saved since less cookies are set.<\/p>\n In the following list we show you cookies that were placed in the browser during a test. On the one hand, we show cookies that were set without being logged into a YouTube account. On the other hand, we show you what cookies were placed while being logged in. We do not claim for this list to be exhaustive, as user data always depend on how you interact with YouTube.<\/p>\n Name:<\/strong> YSC
